What the listed scores cover

The scores shown under Liturgy of St John Chrysostom Op.31 are individual section titles rather than one combined document. They include 'Velikaja ektenija - TTB', 'Blagoslovi, dushe moya, Gospoda' and 'Тебе поем'. No listing is shown as a complete performing edition, so a conductor who needs the whole liturgy should verify the contents of any score rather than assuming these items join into a continuous work.

Comparing vocal layouts

The score titled 'Velikaja ektenija - TTB' lists tenor and baritone parts, so the TTB shorthand and the named parts should be checked against the actual staff layout. 'Blagoslovi, dushe moya, Gospoda' lists soprano, alto, tenor and bass. 'Тебе поем' lists an additional soprano line alongside soprano, alto, tenor and bass. These are score-part labels, not a guarantee of exact divisi or comfortable ranges.

Opening keys, time signatures and tempos

Opening key signatures differ across the listings: one flat for 'Velikaja ektenija', three flats for 'Тебе поем' and two flats for 'Blagoslovi, dushe moya, Gospoda'. The two mixed-choir scores open in 4/4, while no opening time signature is shown for 'Velikaja ektenija'; listed opening tempos are 25 BPM and 50 BPM. These details describe only the start of each score and should not be treated as overall timings or fixed performance speeds.

Attribution and edition checks

The listings associate Liturgy of St John Chrysostom Op.31 with Sergei Rachmaninoff, but the composer fields are not uniform: one reads 'anon.', others use Russian forms of the name, and one includes '1910'.
