Singing Soviet Stagnation: Vocal Cycles from the USSR, 1964-1985
explores the ways in which the aftershock of an apparent crisis in
Soviet identity after the death of Stalin in 1953 can be detected
in selected musical- literary works of what has become known as the
'Stagnation' era (1964-1985). Richard Louis Gillies traces the
cultural impact of this shift through the intersection between
music, poetry, and identity, presenting close readings of three
substantial musical-literary works by three of the period's most
prominent composers of songs and vocal cycles: * Seven Poems of
Aleksandr Blok, Op. 127 (1966- 1967) by Dmitri Shostakovich
(1906-1975) * Russia Cast Adrift (1977) by Georgy Sviridov
(1915-1998) * Stupeni (1981-1982; 1997) by Valentin Silvestrov (b.
1937). The study elaborates an interdisciplinary approach to the
analysis of musicalliterary artworks that does not rely on existing
models of musical analysis or on established modes of literary
criticism, thereby avoiding privileging one discipline over the
other. It will be of particular signifi cance for scholars,
students, and performers with an interest in Russian and Soviet
music, the intersection between music and poetry, and the history
of Russian and East European culture, politics, and identity during
the twentieth century.
