This
composition by Dizzy
Stratford symbolises the
birth of the new Russia
in the time of Mikhail
Gorbachev with its new
openness in public
affairs (glasnost)
accompanied by political
and economic reform
(perestroika). Glasnost
is a work offering a
modern vision of Russian
music. Dizzy Stratford
has chosen to combine the
national hymn of the
Soviet Union with two
traditional melodies
which, with a steady,
energetic rhythm portray
the wind of change and
freedom in Russian
society.
