Rachmaninoff - Blessed is the Man (Tenebrae)

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943):
ALL-NIGHT VIGIL (Opus 37)

3. Blessed is the Man

Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff was a Russian pianist, composer, and conductor of the late Romantic period, some of whose works are among the most popular in the Romantic repertoire.

The All-Night Vigil is an a cappella choral composition by Rachmaninoff, premiered on 23 March 1915 in Moscow (written over a two-week period in January - February 1915). The piece consists of settings of texts taken from the Russian Orthodox All-night vigil ceremony. It has been praised as Rachmaninoff's finest achievement and "the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church". It was one of Rachmaninoff's two favorite compositions, and the composer requested that its fifth movement (Nunc Dimittis) be sung at his funeral.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked.
Alleluia.
The Lord knows the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked will perish.
Alleluia.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in Him with trembling.
Alleluia.
Blessed is he who puts his trust in Him.
Alleluia.
Arise, Lord, save me, my God.
Alleluia.
The Lord is the savior of the people of His blessing.
Alleluia.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and ever and forever more. Amen.
Alleluia.
Glory to You, God.
