Symphony no 3 "Slavyanskaya" - B. Kozhevnikov III. Vivace
Third movement of Symphony no 3 by Boris Kozhevnikov. This recording is from 2009. I'm playing timpani.
Program Notes:
Slavyanskaya is a fairly conventional Russian-sounding symphony in four movements. The first is at times aggressive and lyrical, opening with a strong F-minor declamation. The second is a slow waltz with an exuberant episode in its coda. A spritely piccolo solo opens the third movement, a rondo which whizzes by at lightning speed. The fourth movement is an exuberant finale. Throughout the symphony, Kozhevnikov uses folk tunes from his native city of Novgorod as the sources of his melodic material. Although Kozhevnikov wrote Slavyanskaya in 1950, it did not receive its first performance in the U.S. until the late 1990s.
The word “Slavyanskaya” (in Russian Славянская) appears to be nothing more than a proper name. It’s also applied to a public square in Moscow, a fancy Radisson hotel also in Moscow, and a Russian brand of vodka.
...and for those who haven't heard the news yet. Just yesterday I have decided to return to playing in concert band after two years of inactivity and I'm very excited to be coming back. More info here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5134254/

i am sitting on a flat rock in the shade of a tree on a sunny spring day. behind me on the other side of the tree is an open field. in front of me is a stream, about 12 feet across, with a good strong flow, but not much deeper in the deepest places then up to my knees. the other side is densely vegitated with low growth and beyond it is a bit of forrest. it is flowing from my right to my left. several hundred feet upstream to me right is a stone arched bridge of a railway line. there are birds and squirrels and maybe a fox. several trains go by. i'm not sure what is happening at the end, possibly the sonic boom from an airplane going by.
i get pictures when i listen to music like that. completely unrelated to what the composer had in mind probably.
