...basso, in some cases going a whole octave lower. The singing is always unaccompanied, which necessitates absolute control of time and pitch. Then, although all of the old Slavonic Church music has been preserved, in the last century there has been a great revival in its composition, and musicians like Tschaikowsky and Rachmaninoff have contributed to its stock.
