Search for a Voice, The*

• 1989 ----- color ----- 53 min ----- vhs
• (Man and Music Series) The Russian-ness of Russian music derives from folk song and the music of the Orthodox church: the characteristic modes, the sounds of bells, the unison a cappella voices of the Russian liturgy--sources not mined until Glinka laid down the foundations of a Russian school of music, almost single-handedly. Traces the cultural history of Russia from the 17th Century, covering the cultural role of the tsars, the building of St. Petersburg, the enthusiasm for France cut short by the Napoleonic invasion, the role of Pushkin and, above all, of Glinka. Includes selection from Glinka: A Life for the Tsar, Kamarinskaya, Cherubinskaya; the so-called Rostov Action.
