Sviridov: Inexpressible Wonder (6 movements) | Major_Works |
$9.95
|
| A beautiful sacred cycle from the premier Russian choral composer of the late 20th century. Conceived in the years 1988-1992, this cycle was first performed in Moscow in 1992. It comprises various, unconnected liturgical texts-from the Divine Liturgy (1, 2, and 3), from the feast of Christmas (4), and Holy Saturday (6), which the composer is known to have studied over the years. The principle of loosely associating various poetic (in this instance, liturgical-poetic) texts is one of Sviridov's characteristic creative principles. | ||||
| 2. Ip-ANV |
|
Ippolitov-Ivanov: All-Night Vigil, op. 43 | Major_Works |
$21.95
|
| Ippolitov-Ivanov was one of the most respected choral composers and musical pedagogues of his time. He was a student of Rimsky-Korsakov and a teacher of Chesnokov. His All-Night Vigil, composed in 1905, stands as a major link between Tchaikovsky's and Rachmaninoff's settings. Like Tchaikovsky's choral writing is elegant and rich, but less demanding than Rachmaninoff's. | ||||
| 3. Gr-DL3 |
|
Gretchaninoff: Liturgia Domestica (piano/vocal score) | Major_Works |
$21.95
|
| Gretchaninoff broke precedent when he composed this Liturgy with instrumental accompaniment, for extra-liturgical (“domestic”) use. [conductor score and orchestra parts available on rental] | ||||
