Valery Gavrilin
Chimes Mvt. I - Soul Rejoicing
On Reading V. Shukshyn Miracle PlayùChoral Symphony
Edited by: Elena Sharkova
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 Gavrilins monumental multi-movement composition subtitled On Reading V. Shukshyn Miracle PlayChoral Symphony. Emotionally charged and rhythmically driven from the start, this movement continues to build with excitement and tension through Gavrilins brilliant use of choral texture, dynamics, and extended melodic lines. The text, written in the style of Russian folklore by the composer himself, doesnt tell a story per se, rather it provides textual colors and strong images through many tongue-twisting, onomatopoeic word combinations such as tuchi letuchie (oppressive clouds), slyozy solenye (salty tears), dushi palyonye (scorched souls), etc. Dur.: 7
