February 11, 200917 yr This is a part of the first performance. Composed and conducted by me. Well, all the orchestra players and choral singers work for free, they do not recieve money for that. But after al we need some money. If you are able to donate, please, do it. I live in the city named “Kirov”. Our city has good history. During the time of imperial Russia it was called “Vyatka” and many great people lived and worked here. As a result cultural level of the city was very high, even the Temple of the Christ-Savior has appeared for the first time in Vyatka as the Aleksandro-Nevsky Cathedral. But in the early years of the Soviet rule much has been destroyed. But now it is not better for the people living here. I was coming back home yesterday evening. I saw the company of dozen girls, probably pupils of a school. They loudly shouted a "song" which was full of profanity. They drank vodka directly from a neck. It is only one of set of examples. What became with townspeople if in the morning when I come to work or study from off my home, at an entrance children take drugs?! The culture gradually degenerates. And that else remains, is actually on the verge of beggarly existence. Certainly, musicians are ready to work for free of charge, but it would be desirable to eat something too! Therefore orchestral players and choristers have to work much for the salary at a rate of 3000 roubles (100$) per month. After all our musicians really are professionals of high level. But it looks like we are necessary to nobody. I think that with a good level of the organisation and financing the Vyatka culture can rise on to the high level.
March 10, 200917 yr Hey. This was very good work and performance. I have written in your guest book on your website. If you like my idea, contact me.
March 10, 200917 yr Wow, I really enjoyed the piece. Some of your harmonies really shimmer and sent shivers down my spine. I think you are working towards an absolutely wonderful and necessary goal, the advancement and sustaining of your culture. Your fight is a fight that all of us in the arts are fighting. Keep up the good work and keep fighting the good fight! We are all rooting for you! Edit: Just listened to the Kyrie as well and it knocked my socks off...very beautiful.
