Vesper, op. 37

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Copenhagen Oratorio Choir & Torsten Mariegaard

Vespers, Op. 37 (All-Night Vigil) is a choral composition by Sergei Rachmaninoff, completed in 1915. The unaccompanied setting of Russian Orthodox liturgical texts employs deep bass writing, rich modal harmonies and expansive vocal textures, and it represents the culmination of Rachmaninoff's sacred choral output prior to his emigration from Russia.
