Cantatas by Soviet Composers - for Chorus a Capella and with Piano Accompaniment, Volume 2 [FULL SCORE] by R. Zelinsky, Yury [Yuri] Semenyako, and Anatoly Korolyev [Korolyov, Korolev] - 1988

Leningrad [St. Petersburg], USSR: Muzyka - State Music Publishers, 1988. First Thus . Stapled Wraps. Near Fine. 8.5" x 11.25. Three outstanding choral works by Soviet composers. CONTENTS: R. Zelinsky's "Louchi" (Conspiracy - with piano and percussion) sets texts from the Finnish epic "Kalevala". The Belarus composer Yuri Semenyako is represented by "A Wreath for Maxim Bogdanovich", in the composer's reduction for piano, vocal soloists, and chorus (originally with orchestra). Anatoly Korolyev, the best-known composer of the three, here offers his "Path to Peace", with texts by Ivan Bunin - Inscription on the Chalice, Night, Song, Romance, In the Mountains, and Luna. 79 pages. CONDITION: a bright, solid, uncreased copy with light shelf-wear, unmarked but for a small inked catalogue number on the back cover, compromised only by a bit of faint crinkling and sunning on the front cover (not affecting the pristine score pages, however). This exceedingly scarce item is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board. NOTE: multiple score orders, depending on weight, may qualify for a generous shipping charge reduction.
