HopeGreg Gilpin & Pamela Stewart. This powerful
and inspirational work sings of "hope" described
through the phases of life, such as a newborn's cry,
the laughter of children, the ashes of the fire of love
that has died, the quiet comfort of a dream. Set to
haunting and dynamic music with piano or optional
orchestration, the gorgeous work comes to a moving
conclusion: "Hope is not lost; hope is not gone. It is
not dead; it still lives on. Hope will arise!"

Chimes: 1. Soul Rejoicing—Valery 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.)

Chimes: 5. Ti-Ri-Ri—Valery 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. (Russian pronunciation guide is available
from the publisher's website.)

expression of the approaching end of a man's - or a nation's - journey of
enlightenment and spirituality.
