{{Descr|The ''Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom'' was set to music by [[Sergei Rachmaninoff]] in 1910, his Opus 31. It is one of his major works for unaccompanied choir. It consists of twenty sections, listed below; some of the sections comprise several different parts of the liturgy. The words are attributed to [[John Chrysostom]], a fourth-century church father. John Chrysostom wrote in Greek; somewhere along the line they were translated to Church Slavonic, as used in this work.

At the time these compositions were written, Russian Orthodox ecclesiastical authorities strongly objected to the work's "spirit of modernism" and refused to sanction it for use during church services (Ivan Moody, cited in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgy_of_St._John_Chrysostom_(Rachmaninoff) Wikipedia]), similar to the reception of [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]]'s ''Messiah'', [[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]'s sacred cantatas, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Carmichael Ralph Carmichael].|dis=No}}
