Music Tchaikovsky Moscow Cantata choral Transliteration Coronation Cantata This document provides a guide to the rarely performed “Moscow” Coronation Cantata of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-93) as well as a new choral score with transliterated 1886 text by Apollon Maikov. It draws attention to the musical style of the Cantata, providing insight into the development of the thematic material. It compares the Cantata to Tchaikovsky’s previous compositions such as the 1812 Overture and it explores the link between this work, Mikhail Glinka’s A Life for a Tsar, and Alexei Lvov’s Russian Hymn for the Tsar. Additionally, the document illuminates how the Cantata aided the composer financially in the long run and the impact it left on his own compositions that followed. The document addresses the two text versions found in editions of the Cantata and provides a textual guide to teaching and performing the work. The document culminates with a piano/vocal edition of the Cantata with transliterated text by Apollon Maikov. 2015-10-16 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1439307279 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1439307279 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
