Rachmaninov Vespers: "Blessed is the Man"

Here I present the chant, "Blessed is the Man" being part 3 of the Vespers Op. 37 by  Sergei Rachmaninov.

The settings contain passages from the Russian Orthodox Vespers Service.

"Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly. Alleluia
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the ungodly shall perish. Alleluia.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling. Alleluia.
Blessed are all that have put their trust in him. Alleluia.
Arise, O Lord, save me, O my God. Alleluia.
Salvation belongeth unto the Lord, and the blessing is upon thy people. Alleluia.

Glory to the father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
Now and ever and to the ages of ages, Amen.
Alleluia. Glory to thee, O Lord."

Sung here by the Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka Choir.
Conducted by Vladislav Chernushenko.
