When in 1915 the 42-years old S.Rachmaninov had turned to the sacred music, he was living through a hard period of his life. He confessed he was getting weaker and older and was looking for "air, rest and solitude". The concluding words of this chant bore a special significance for the composer. He stressed the phrase "By Death Shall Death be Destroyed" by sudden break in the sound dynamics, which turns it into an intimate confession.
