Listening to All Night Vigil by Rachmaninov – basically nonstop. I found a transliteration, online. Thank you, Joyful Company of Singers.

The copy I am listening to is by the Latvian Radio Choir and directed by Sigvards Kļava. I decided to buy this recording based on this review. It also has a little discussion of Rachmaninov and the piece itself.

And finally, here’s a (different) recording on YouTube.

As I keep saying: if I ever turn to religion, it will be because of the music.

„Es mag sein, dass nicht alle Musiker an Gott glauben; an Bach jedoch alle”, sagte Mauricio Kagel. Höre Bach gerade, wie so oft, und lächle.
