~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil, popularly (though, some might say, erroneously) known as the Vespers, was composed in less than two weeks in January and February 1915; it is the culmination of Rachmaninov’s interest in Russian sacred music over the previous twenty years, partly inspired by Tchaikovsky's own setting of the same texts. Rachmaninov himself had stopped attending church services, but his setting nevertheless conforms to the requirements of the Church, with ten of the fifteen sections based on three types of traditional chant. The texts are written and sung in Church Slavonic, the language of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The last movement of Vespers is a Hymn to the Mother of God: it occurs in many places
in Orthodox worship and here the threefold setting is very solemn but full of rejoicing and
gladness. After this all the lights are dimmed and the doors to the Holy of Holies are closed.

Text:

Bogoroditse devo, raduisya, Blagodatnaya Mariye, Gospod s Toboyu. Blagoslovenna Ty v zhenakh, i blagosloven plod chreva Tvoyego,
yako Spasa rodila esi dush nashikh.

Translation:

Rejoice O Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Saviour of our souls.
