All-Night
Vigil (Vespers) is a
setting of music for a
night-long service on the
eves of Russian Orthodox
holy days, and became one
of Rachmaninoff's
favorite compositions.
Basing the 15 movements
of his choral setting on
a combination of
traditional Russian
Orthodox chants, Latin
hymns, and original
chants by the composer,
the work was completed in
less than two weeks in
1915. This arrangement
utilizes the 1st, 2nd,
7th, 10th, and 12th
movements, along with the
traditional Amens at the
beginning of Movements 1
and 2. Unlike other
settings of choral works
for wind ensemble, this
arrangement is
constructed as a complete
suite that is intended to
allow the performers and
audience to experience
the power and beauty of
the complete Vespers.
Dur: c. 16:00 (Recorded
