Sergei Rachmanioff's Sacred Concerto W molitwach neussypajuschtschuju Bogorodizu (The Theotokos, ever-vigilant in praying) was composed in 1893 for four-voice mixed choir. It was his first contribution to the repertoire of the Russian Orthodox Church. The text is derived from the Feast of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, the counterpart to the Roman Catholic Assumption Day. In accordance with the standards of the Orthodox Church, Rachmaninoff set it a cappella. This new edition presents the original church Slavonic text in Latin transcription, as well as in a singable German translation. It also contains an English pronunciation table.

The Mass in B Flat was first performed in November 1915 by the choir of All Saints, Margaret Street, London. The Director of Music at the time, Dr Walter Vale, adapted movements from Rachmaninoff's Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom to the words of the Ordinary of the Mass from the Book of Common Prayer, in English with the exception of the Kyrie which uses the traditional Greek words. The adaptation was sanctioned by Rachmaninoff, who attended a performance of the Mass at All Saints in 1924. 36 pages.
