Reveille - Sviridov

Sviridov’s “Reville” from ‘A Pushkin Wreath’, his settings of some of Pushkin’s poems, sung by Imperial College Chamber Choir, conducted by Jack Apperley. Recorded live at our Spring Term concert, ‘Beyond the Great Game’ at St. George’s Church, Bloomsbury Way on 21st February 2020. The Reveille is a traditional military bugle call heard in the morning to signify the start of the day, depicted here in one of Sviridov’s early works by the off-stage soprano and alto soloists. A humming chorus represents the sleeping servicemen on the battlefront. Meanwhile, a bass soloist reminisces over fond childhood memories throughout the piece. Our concert explored the relationship between Great Britain and Russia during the 20th century, through composers who were active during a time when religion was not always so openly accepted.
