| Summary: | This article delineates the main developments of Russian choral music in the
late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries by examining the lives of
Aleksandr Andreevič Arhangelʹskij and Aleksandr Vasilʹevič Nikolʹskij. It
considers transformations in the choral landscape during the pivotal years
of the February and October revolutions in Russia and subsequently in the
Soviet period. It highlights the circumstances in which Russian sacred music
found itself in the new state and reveals how, in part thanks to
Arhangelʹskij and Nikolʹskij, traditional practices were sustained - both
within the USSR and among the Russians abroad. |
