Bogoriditse Devo -- Sergei Rachmaninoff.

40th Anniversary Davis High Madrigal Singers Reunion Concert, Mondavi Center, UC Davis May 2007.

The "All-Night Vigil" is the pinnacle of the Russian Orthodox tradition -- and Rachmaninoff's setting of it, composed during World War I, is considered his finest unaccompanied choral work. This particular movement, the Ave Maria, is heavily influenced by orthodox chant, although its contrapuntal texture has more in common with Rachmaninoff's own compositional style.
