Ave Maria From Vespers (All-Night Vigil) 聖母頌 總譜

這首動人的樂曲體現了俄羅斯東正教音樂的淳樸，同時又展現了拉赫瑪尼諾夫抒情詩的廣闊之美。指揮家們可以借此機會教授擴展樂句和連奏風格。晚禱是東正教會的日落晚禱，在通宵守夜的教規時間內，《聖母頌》將在午夜時分吟唱，因此樂曲的頂點有 12 個報時音符。為了達到特殊效果，槌音部分可以在台下加倍，以模擬教堂的鐘聲。(2:40)

原文簡介:
This moving piece embodies all the simplicity of Russian Orthodox music, yet displays the sweeping beauty of Rachmaninov's lyricism. Conductors will appreciate the opportunity to teach extended phrases and legato style. "Vespers" is the sunset evening prayer of the Orthodox Church, and during the canonical hours of an all-night vigil, the "Ave Maria" would be sung at midnight, hence the 12 chime notes at the apex of the piece. For a special effect, the mallet parts can be doubled off-stage to simulate church bells. (2:40)
