SUMMARY:Rachmaninoff All-Night Vigil (Vespers)
URL:http://www.harbourliving.ca/event/rachmaninoff-all-night-vigil-vespers198/
LOCATION:Cathedral Church of Saint John the Evangelist :: 990 Falmouth Road Victoria, V8X 3A3
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>The work features shimmering, multi-part harmony, and some of the lowest notes you&rsquo;ll ever hear from human voices. Though its first performance in March 1915 was a fundraiser for the Russian First World War relief effort, Rachmaninoff&rsquo;s music is rooted in a tradition of Russian Orthodox chant that goes back a thousand years. &nbsp;</p>=0D=0A=
<p>Also on the program are short motets by Anton Bruckner, and a work by the contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre that weaves the single word Alleluia into a complex tapestry of vocal colours.</p>=0D=0A=
