'''''Evening''''' (Вечер) is a choral work ([[TH]] 74; [[ČW]] 68a), probably written by Tchaikovsky in the spring of 1871. It was published in two versions — one in the key of C major, and the other in G major.

==Instrumentation==
The version in G major is scored for unaccompanied male voices (TTB). No scoring was specified for the version in C major, which may have been intended either for male or children's voices.

==Movements and Duration==
There is one movement: Andante con moto (95 bars), lasting around 3 minutes in performance.

==Text==
The words were written by the composer himself, and attributed in the score to "N.N.".

==Composition==
''Evening'' appears to have been commissioned by [[Karl Albrecht]] for publication in one of his compilations of choral works that was first published in 1872, and approved for publication by the state censor on 3/15 June 1871.

==Publication==
''Evening'' appeared in [[Karl Albrecht]]'s ''A Handbook of Choral Singing after the numerical method by Chevé'', part 2 <ref name="note1"/> (1872) <ref name="note2"/>. The chorus was untitled, and was printed using the Galin-Paris-Chevé sight-singing notation system, in the key of C major. This edition also included Tchaikovsky's chorus ''[[Spring]]''.

In 1882 a second version of the chorus, now entitled ''Evening'', appeared in another collection by [[Karl Albrecht]] <ref name="note3"/>, which the censor had approved for publication by [[Jurgenson]] on 13/25 December 1881. This was now written in conventional notation for 3-part male choir, in the key of G major, and had some differences of tempo and dynamic markings compared with the earlier edition.

It is uncertain whether [[Albrecht]] transposed and made alterations to the chorus for either instance of its publication, or if the revisions were made by Tchaikovsky himself between 1876 and 1880.

The G-major version for male voices was included in volume 43 of Tchaikovsky's ''[[Complete Collected Works]]'' (1941), edited by Ivan Shishov and Nikolay Shemanin.

==Autographs==
No manuscript scores for ''Evening'' have been traced.
