A series of five choir collections issued by the "Compozitor Publishing House * Saint-Petersburg" is arranged to coincide with the 7th International Competition for Young Choral Conductors to be held in Russia for the first time ever. The competition will be organized by the St. Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts and the Center for international cooperation "Inter Aspect" in conjunction with the European Choral Association - Europa Cantat (April 3-6, 2013, St. Petersburg).
This collection titled "Glory to the Music and Singing" for a mixed choir a cappella includes ceuvres of seven leading St. Petersburg composers, which are long acknowledged as important figures in the world of choral music.
The collection includes works by G. Korchmar, S. Yekimov, S. Slonimsky, S. Banevich, A. Korolyov, and Yu. Falik, each of which features a unique composer touch along with a vivid and recognizable choral style.
There are touching and sentimental intonations of S. Banevich's "Petersburgian Litany"; D. Smirnov's expressive motives wrapped up in "church acoustics" from the Mandelshtam concert; S. Yekimov's psalm - rigid, and containing colorful "hacked" recitative for solo voice and, sometimes, dissonant harmonies, the first Soviet "modern" composition for choir of a cappella written by Slonimsky. The part song concert of G. Korchmar, somewhat stylized to remind of Bortnyansky and A. Korolyov's choral opus, is a powerful, rhythmically elastic, as all of the Brodsky verses...
The collection is topped with "Devils" from the "Pushkin's Strophes" concert - a bold, masterful, and brilliant work by Yu. Falik, who has become a classical author of St. Petersburg choral music.
I am convinced that these ceuvres (some of them are published for the first time), will catch your interest and, maybe, will be included into the repertoire of your choral ensemble.

Серия из пяти хоровых сборников, выпущенная издательством "Композитор * Санкт-Петербург", приурочена к VII Международному конкурсу молодых хоровых дирижеров, организованному Санкт-Петербургским государственным университетом культуры и искусств и Центром международного сотрудничества в области культуры "Интер Аспект" в сотрудничестве с Европейской хоровой ассоциацией "Европа кантат" и впервые проходящему в России (3-6 апреля 2013 года, Санкт-Петербург).
В сборник "Похвала музыке и пению" вошли произведения для смешанного хора a cappella семи петербургских композиторов, давно и успешно зарекомендовавших себя в области хоровой музыки: Г. Корчмара, С. Екимова, С. Слонимского, С. Баневича, А. Королёва, Ю. Фалика. Каждое из представленных сочинений отмечено неповторимым композиторским почерком и ярким и узнаваемым хоровым стилем.
Тут и трогательные, сентиментальные интонации Сергея Баневича из "Петербургской литании"; и выразительные мотивы Дмитрия Смирнова из Концерта на стихи Мандельштама, окутанные "храмовой акустикой"; жесткий, с ярким "изломанным" соло-речитативом и порой диссонантными гармониями псалом Сергея Екимова и первое в советское время "модерновое" сочинение для хора a cappella Сергея Слонимского; партесный концерт Григория Корчмара, местами стилизованный под хоровые опусы Бортнянского; произведение Анатолия Королёва - сильное, ритмически упругое, как и стихи Бродского, на которые оно написано...
Венчает же сборник виртуозное, блестяще написанное сочинение классика петербургской хоровой музыки Юрия Фалика - "Бесы" из концерта "Пушкинские строфы".
Убежден, что эти сочинения, из которых несколько публикуются впервые, вызовут у вас подлинный интерес и, возможно, расширят репертуар вашего хорового коллектива.
