Rachmaninow's Die Glocken (or The Bells) is a choral symphony composed for Soprano, Tenor, Baritone, Choir and Orchestra. Throughout the piece, Rachmaninow employs the traditional Gregorian melody, the Dies Irae, further propounding the association of the titular bells with death, a theme explored by the composer previously.
