The first movement of Bortniansky’s three-movement Choral Concerto No. 9. The choral concerto is a setting of a sacred text, usually from the Book of Psalms, and sung during the Divine Liturgy. It is usually divided into three or four contrasting movements. The form mirrors the instrumental concerto in that tutti and solo sections provide contrasting textures. The work is conceived for unaccompanied performance, a rubric of Orthodox choral music. This edition was gleaned from sources prior to Tchaikovsky's 1882 edition, in which he admitted changing voice leading, removed or added ornamentation, and added innumberable dynamic markings.
