Vespers

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Robert Shaw Festival Singers & Robert Shaw

Vespers is a choral composition by Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, composed in 1915. Scored for unaccompanied choir, it draws on Russian Orthodox chant and modal harmonies, making extensive use of low bass voices and dense, resonant sonorities, and represents the culmination of Rachmaninoff's sacred choral writing and a distinctive contribution to early 20th-century Russian liturgical music.
