This vocal score provides a contemporary choral arrangement of Sergei Rachmaninov's 'Nunc Dimittis' designed for specific vocal and instrumental forces. The work, arranged by composer Bob Chilcott, stems from a collaborative project with singer Katie Melua and the Gori Women's Choir. It serves as a practical resource for choirs seeking to perform this movement from the 'All-Night Vigil' in either Russian or English, maintaining the liturgical integrity of the original while adapting it for modern performance settings.

Experts and choral directors frequently cite this arrangement as a accessible entry point for ensembles looking to perform Russian liturgical music. The inclusion of guitar accompaniment is noted as a unique stylistic departure that provides a distinct texture compared to traditional a cappella versions.
