Sergei Rachmaninoff composed two major a cappella choral works--the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and the All-Night Vigil--that displayed his Orthodox faith in a manner that was innovative and fresh. In 1910 he turned to the sacred service of his church and with amazing speed composed the monumental Divine Liturgy. Afterward he said, "Not for a long time have I written anything with such pleasure."
