Vespers

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff

Vespers (All-Night Vigil) is a choral composition by Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов, composed in 1915. Scored for unaccompanied choir, it draws on Russian Orthodox liturgical chant with dense harmonies and resonant low-register writing, representing a late-career consolidation of Rachmaninoff's sacred choral idiom and shaping aspects of 20th-century choral repertoire.
