Soul RejoicingValery Gavrilin. Soul Rejoicing opens with the stormy image of a band of horsemen riding fiercely in the darkness of a moonless night. Thus, with the sounds of pounding hooves and riders' shouts, begins Perezvony (Chimes), Valery Gavrilin's monumental multi- movement composition subtitled On Reading V. Shukshyn Miracle Play - Choral Symphony, scored for mixed chorus, narrator, percussion and solo oboe. Emotionally charged and rhythmically driven from the start, this movement continues to build with excitement and tension through Gavrilin's brilliant use of choral texture, dynamics, and extended melodic lines. The text (in Russian), written in the style of Russian folklore by the composer himself, doesn't tell a story per se, rather it provides textual colors and strong images through many tongue- twisting, onomatopoeic word combinations. (Russian pronunciation guide is available from the publisher's website.) 10374873 SATB Divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85 10374873C Choral Master Track-Chimes: Soul Rejoicing . . . . . . . . . . . 4.99 l Chimes: 5. Ti-Ri-RiValery Gavrilin. Ti-Ri-Ri, the wordless fifth movement of Gavrilin's "Choral Symphony," paints a colorful and theatrical scene. One can almost see young men and women gathering (for a dance, perhaps) and as the voices enter one by one, the listener hears a different character from each vocal part. A musical drama ensues, but the scene ends peacefully with the basses singing their jaunty, sturdy ostinato.

Sunset MusicValery Gavrilin. In this seventh movement of Gavrilin's "Choral Symphony," a solo oboe introduces a dreamy, richly textured expression of the approaching end of a man's - or a nation's - journey of enlightenment and spirituality. 10455833 SATB Divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85 H ChindiaAlexandru Pascanu.
