Tchaikovsky's setting of the Divine Liturgy...
along with his All-Night Vigil, and his Nine Sacred Songs...
were of seminal [baanbrekend, met kiemkracht] importance in the later interest in Orthodox music.
Other composers soon followed Tchaikovsky's example. The structure that Tchaikovsky used, as well as his use of free settings for the components of the liturgy, were emulated by a whole generation of Russian composers in their own settings of the liturgy, including
- Arkhangelsky
- Chesnokov
- Gretchaninov
- Ippolitov-Ivanov
- and Rachmaninoff.
