Should gone up to Wabash and got some real men to sing the low Bflat at the end. LOL....just kidding.

This is the part of the "All Night Vigil" that Rachmaninoff requested be sung at his funeral.

@peddletoneG - It's an inside joke. DePauw's rival college is Wabash College, a non-denominational liberal arts college for men only...of which I am an alumnus. We would never mistakenly post this as piece from "Vespers"...as the piece is properly named "All Night Vigil" because only the first 6 movements are from the Orthodox Vesper Service (I also direct an Orthodox choir). The fact that this is movement 5 and is a part of the Vesper service, notwithstanding.

@LazaBrkonja C'mon, it's a matter of age. I only had a B at college age, this morning I enjoyed a comfortable F......they sound great, very clear, nice tenor solo. We're enjoying it in my group, but we have old dudes with the note--they aren't this accurate, though. All sections in beautiful accord, sensitively directed.
