Original

Praise the name of the Lord. Hvalite imia Ghospodne. Composed by Alexander Gretchaninoff. 1864-1956. For SATB choir. div. Choral octavo. Language. Church Slavonic. Published by Musica Russica. MR.GR-041. With Language. Church Slavonic. Alexandre Gretchaninoff's choral writing, like Rachmaninoff's, at times takes on truly "symphonic" dimensions that can challenge even the most advanced choirs. His "Praise the Name of the Lord" contains a great deal of sonorous richness and color without being overwhelming in harmonic or textural complexity. In a festival setting, the contrast of the men's and women's groups adds to this work's appeal, while the strophic structure and relatively small amount of text. single psalm verses with Alleluia refrains. makes this piece negotiable within a relatively short amount of rehearsal time.
