Tikhon Khrennikov - Song about Moscow

A song from the movie “Pig and Shepherd“ or “Swineheard and Shepherd“, from 1941. Khrennikov (1913-2007) was a Russian and Soviet composer, pianist, and leader of the Union of Soviet Composers, who was also known for his political activities. He wrote three symphonies, four piano concertos, two violin concertos, two cello concertos, operas, operettas, ballets, chamber music, incidental music and film music. During the 1930s, Khrennikov was already being hailed as a leading official Soviet composer. In 1948, Andrei Zhdanov, the leader of the anti-formalism campaign, nominated Khrennikov as Secretary of the Union of Soviet Composers. He held this influential post until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. A very detailed list of compositions can be found on wikipedia. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A method to find scores: - My donation link to keep
