Vespers

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Corydon Singers & Matthew Best

Vespers (All-Night Vigil), Op. 37, is a choral composition by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1915. The unaccompanied setting synthesises Russian Orthodox chant with late-Romantic harmonic language, featuring dense choral textures and prominent low bass writing, and it represents Rachmaninov's principal engagement with liturgical choral writing during his late Russian period.
