Product Description
This
is an original work adapted from Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil, no. 6,

How this work was adapted from Rachmaninoffs
All-Night Vigil, no. 6.
The All-Night Vigil is a
monumental choral work requiring advanced musical skills for an adequate
performance. This adaption features a unison melody line throughout, constructed
from the fusion of melodic figures from Rachmaninoffs a cappella
original. To this newly constituted melodic line is added a completely original
accompaniment created without any reference to Rachmaninoffs score. The result
is a distinctive representation of Rachmaninoff which can be easily learned and
performed by a solo singer or unison choir, including childrens choirs, for
whom this work was originally created.
Original Text (From the Russian Orthodox All-Night Vigil)
Богородице Дево, радуйся,
благодатная Марие, Господь с тобою.
Благословена ты в женах,
и благословен плод чрева твоего,
яко Спаса родила еси душ наших.
Transliteration:
Bogoróditse Dyévo, ráduisya,
Blagodátnaya Maríye, Gospód s tobóyu.
Blagoslovyéna ty v zhenákh,
i blagoslovyén plod chryéva tvoyevó,
yáko Spása rodilá yesí dush náshikh.
