Program Notes:
“Vesper Hymn” was written by the leading Russian church composer of the late 18th century, Dimitri Bortniansky. This hymn tune is the best-known of Bortniansky’s sacred works that were edited by Tchaikovsky and published in ten volumes. The “Vesper Hymn” is most frequently associated with the words:
Hark! The vesper hymn is stealing
O’er the waters soft and clear;
Nearer yet and nearer pealing,
Soft it breaks upon the ear.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen.
