Here I present the 14th part of the Vespers by Sergei Rachmaninov, "Christ has risen" also known as "Thou didst Rise from the Tomb". This Troparion or hymn is a Znamenny Chant.

"When thou hadst arisen from the tomb,
and burst the bonds of hell,
thou destroyedst the condemnation of death
O Lord, breaking the bonds of the enemy.
Revealing thyself to nine Apostles,
thou didst send them forth to preach thy Word,
granting thy peace through them to all the world,
O thou only all-merciful one."

The setting is from Matins
Sung here by THE Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka Choir. Conducted by Vladislav Chernushenko.
