Speaking of thrilling, a few years ago a choir I'm in did Rachmaninov's All-night Vigil, made up of 15 or so absolutely glorious pieces based on the Russian Orthodox liturgy.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord,
teach me Thy statutes.
The angelic host was filled with awe,
when it saw Thee among the dead.
By destroying the power of death, O Savior,
Thou didst raise Adam,
and save all men from hell!
Blessed art Thou, O Lord,
teach me Thy statutes.
“Why do you women
mingle myrrh with your tears?”
cried the radiant angel in the tomb to the myrrhbearers.
Behold the tomb and understand!
The Savior is risen from the dead!”
Blessed art Thou, O Lord,
teach me Thy statutes.
Very early in the morning
the myrrhbearers ran with sorrow to Thy tomb,
but an Angel came to them and said:
“The time for sorrow has come to an end!
Do not weep; announce the resurrection to the apostles!”
Blessed art Thou, O Lord,
teach me Thy statutes.
The myrrhbearers were sorrowful
as they neared Thy tomb,
but the Angel said to them:
“Why do you number the living among the dead?
Since He is God, He is risen from the tomb!”
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
We worship the Father, and His Son, and the Holy Spirit:
the Holy Trinity, one in essence!
We cry with the Seraphim:
“Holy, Holy, Holy art Thou, O Lord!”
Both now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Since Thou didst give birth to the Giver of Life, O Virgin,
Thou didst deliver Adam from his sin!
Thou gavest joy to Eve instead of sadness!
The God-man who was born of Thee
has restored to life those who had fallen from it!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Glory to Thee, O God! (3x)
