3. Shestopsalmie: Slava v Vyshnikh Bogu from Rachmaninov's Vespers

The altos sing the melody in this one, and the sopranos and men are church bells. Apparently Rachmaninov was very taken with bells.

It means:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. O Lord, open Thou my lips and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.



For Cousin GTTD and her sister T.
