SOVIET ARMY CHORUS & BAND IN A PROGRAM OF FAVORITES Conducted by Boris Alexandro')!

The famous Soviet Army Chorus is presented here in a di· verse program (>f its favorites. The four popular songs on Side 1 are by contemporary Soviet composers and deal with love, friendship and soldiers. The classical selections (last three bands Side 1) are by Mikhail Gltnka ' ( 1803·1857), Anton Rubinstein (1830·1894) and Marion Koval (1907). The latter is a contemporary Soviet composer who has written in many musical forms and whose outstanding work is his opera "Emelian Pugachov", an excerpt from which is presented here.

Emelian Pugachov was an actual historical figure (1726· 1775), leader of a rebellion during the reign of Catherine II of Russia. He took the name of Emperor Peter III in 1773 and issued a manifesto promising to free the serfs. Althou.gh he gathered around him an army of Cossacks and other dissident elements he was finally defeated and executed.

Side 2 presents the chorus and soloists in a program of folk songs: 4 Russian songs and 2 Czech songs. Since three of the songs on this record speak of Stepan Razin (Side 1 band 7; Side 2 bands 1 and 6), an explana tion of this Russian figure would seem pertinent. Stepan Timofeyev Razin, or Stenka Razin as he is more commonly known, led a rebellion of the Cossacks and peasants in 1667 which spread along the Volga down to the Caspian Sea. He was defeated but or· ganized another revolt in 1670. This rebellion, which seriously threatened the Moscow goyernment, was finally suppressed and Razin was captured and executed.

All the selections are sung in Russian with the exception of bands 2 and 3 of Side 2 which are sung in Czech.

SIDE ONE POPULAR SONGS

1 A TOAST TO FRIENDS (Music . by B, text by L. Oshanin) Sol,, : Artur Eisen

Mokroussov;

Friends, we are gathered in a circle around the festive table . Let us sing a drinking song in honor of friends. Let us drink a toast to the happiness of our fatherland, to our girls and our true (riends, and may our hearts be forever y·oung.

2 SING, LITTLE NIGHTINGALE (Music by A. Novikov ; text by V. Kharitonov) Soloills: Vsevolod Puchkov and Veniamin Bicheyev

The victorious regiments passed over many lands, With their victory they brought happiness to men!

Refrain : Sing, little nightingale! Grow strong, little birch tree! We love our motherland And defend it at all times,

o l WAIT FOR YOUR SOLDIER (Music by B. Mokroussov ; text by S. Ostrovogo) Solo : Ivan Bukreyev

A girl sees a soldier off to his regiment, pressing his hands in partin.g. She \\'~ves to him as the train starts up. A soldier needs a girlfriend .who will wait for him.

4 TO AN ARMY MAN (Music by L. Liad va; text by G . Khodosov) Solo: Artur Eisen

You can recognize a soldier by his gait or by the way he wears his cap. When he meets a girl he salutes ·her smartly and offers to take her to a dance. When the music strikes up a dance tune he invites her gallantly to dance with him. Should an engine fail to function he is there to make ' it work. There is no problem that a soldier cannot solve. There are many fellows like him that our army has dis· charged. By his manners and behavior you can recognize a veteran.

CLASSICAL SONGS

~ 5 POLKA (Music by M. Glinka; lyrics by A. Godov and A. Shilov)

A group of boys and girls whirling in a gay polka enjoy the fast moving dance and in the noisy revelry sing of the fleeting moments of youth.

9' CURLING WAVES from the cycle "Persian Songs" (Mu· sic by A. Rubinstein) Solo: Artur Eisen

Featuring Artur Eisen and Alexei Sergeye')!, basses and Nikolai Abramo')!, tenor

The waters of the Kur are curling and seething. The sun rises and fills the heart with joy. Oh, if it were so forever! My cup is full and with each sip of wine I imbibe courage, gladness and strength. The wondrous sparkle of her eyes bedazzles me. Oh, if it were so forever! Night is approaching and the moon sheds its light On nature all about me; but even in the darkness The star of love is shining. Oh, if it were so forever! If you wish that my heart pour out All its love into your eyes, Come quickly .to me in the darkness of night. Oh, if it were so' forever!

7 FREE WILL from the opera "Emelian Pugachov" (Music by M. Koval ; libretto by V. Kamensky) Solo: Artur Eisen

Pugachov celeblates his wedding to Ustinia and addresses his followers. He recalls the legend of Stepan Timofeyevich Razin 's cliff on the Volga and Razin 's request (in his will) that he be buried on the steppe where the three great Russian highways meet, with a psaltery at his feet. He sings: let us raise that psaltery and sing the bold and forbidden songs and ask the cliff to tell us of the rivers of bitter tears shed by the Russian people and (If the freedom born of Stepan Razin 's rebellion. He sings tearfully of the widespread pov· erty and of all the sufferirg of the people. He tells his followers that he is ready to lay down his life that the people may live together in indivisible friendship. Pugachov's aria is followed by a spirited chorus and dance by the Cossacks and women attir<:d in brightly colored native costumes,

SU~E TWO FOLK SONGS

c.. 1 THE CLIFF ON THE VOLGA (Russian) 5011): Artur Eisen

An eterna.1 cliff, covered by moss from its summit to the base. stands on the Volga. It is swept by the winds and on its barren summit lives an eagle that devours victims in its nest . Only one man has ever reached its highest point and the cliff now bears his name. Many thoughts were born that night in the mind of the heroic climber. Over the nois!: of the waves and in the dark of the night he conceived a great plan . The cliff still s:ands guarding all the secrets and, with the Volga, it som(·times recalls the heroic life of the chieftain, Stepan Razin.

2 A SOLDIER'S FAREWELL (Czech) Arranged by Boris Alexandrov Solo : Alexei Sergeyev

A young soldier, leaving for the front, bids his tearful mother farewell and tells her: " Do not cry for me, dear mother, I shall return victorious. But if I fail, then shed no tears, ror you know that a Czech dies bravely for his homeland ."

l MY PRAYER (Czech) Arranged by Boris Alexandrov Solo: Nikolai Abramov

A young man finds his sweetheart praying in a chapel and tells her that his love for God would have long ago been rewarded with sainthood if it but matched his love for her.

. 4 DUIINUSHKA (Russian) Solo: AlexeI Sergeyev

Many songs have I heard in my native land-· Songs of j (?y and sorrow. But one of them was deeply engraved in my memory: It's the song of the common worker,

Refrain: Ekh, lift up the cudgel, Heave·ho! Pull harder together, Heave·ho!

- 5 THE LITTLE IELL (Russian) 5010: Nikolai Abramov

Tht: little bell's ringing sounds monotonous, While the coach is rolling along a dusty road And the driver is singing a sad song. There is so much feeling in the doleful melody Which awakens thoughts of the past And emotions in the heart of the traveller. I n his memory he sees visions Of native fields and green forests' ~nd tears roll down from his eyes Long since dimmed. The sound of the bell echoes in the field. The coachman is silent and the road Stretches far into the horizon.

.. , FROM IEYOND THE ISLAND (Russian) 5010: Alexei Sergeyev

A number of boats sail from beyond an island on the broad expanse of the Volga Ri.,·er. The first boat bears Stepan Razin and in his embrace he holds the abducted Persian Queen. He is celebrating the new wedding in drunken gaity. The Persian Queen is terror stricken while listening to the drunken words of the chieftain. The members of the crew become rebellious and protest the behavior of their"'" /I chief saying that he has forsaken them for a woman. Upon '6 hearing this Razin lifts the beautiful Queen and tosses her into the swirling waters of the Volga. He calls upon his men to strike up a gay song in memory of her soul.
