metadata.value: For the first time, on the basis of documentary sources — Georgy Sviridov’s “Different Notes”
  and new literary studies — an attempt was made to reconstruct the Sviridov myth “Russia”
  on the example of the history of the creation of the poem “Russia Cast Adrift” to the words
  of S. Yesenin (1977). For the first time a version of the existence of a meta-cycle in the work
  of Sviridov is put forward to the words of S. Yesenin, consisting of the “Poem in Memory of
  Sergei Yesenin”, the cantata “The Bright Guest” and the poem “Russia Cast Adrift”. Observations
  on the editing of the texts of the poem “Russia Cast Adrift” and on certain peculiarities
  of its musical language in combination with reading certain fragments from the notebooks
  of “Different Notes”, which gives an idea of the author’s interpretation of the poem, led to the
  following conclusion: both in the poem itself and in the whole Yesenin meta-cycle, and in a
  number of other compositions by the composer in the oratorio-cantata genre, the main theme
  of his work: “Russia and the Revolution” — the main link of Sviridov’s myth “Russia” — was
  given the religious philosopher treatment. The poetic source for the poem “Russia Cast Adrift”
  as well as the cantata “Bright Guest” were small (biblical) poems and separate Yesenin poems
  created between 1917 and 1920, in which the influence of the ideological trend of “Scythianism”
  is noticeable. Sviridov relied on the metaphorical rapprochement of the poet of the
  Russian revolution with the Gospel cross and Golgotha. The composer, following the poet,
  proceeded from the perception of the revolution as “the beginning of the Spiritual Transformation
  of the Motherland”.
