''Flourish, Mighty Land'', Op. 114, (variably called ''Flourish, Mighty Homeland'' or ''Prosper, Mighty Country'') is a cantata written by Sergei Prokofiev in 1947, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the October Revolution, along with his ''Thirty Years''. ==Background== In contrast to the monumental Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution, this cantata, in one movement, lasts for a mere 8 minutes. The short duration was obviously a disappointment for the Soviet authority, which had expected something in a grandiose manner (cf. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9). It is scored for chorus and orchestra. The cantata, with much first-rate music (as with his other political works), has been unjustly neglected purely for its pro-Communistic lyrics. Whether Prokofiev truly agrees with the lyrics is something we can never be sure about. However, Prokofiev was not in a position to turn down such a commission. The chorus parts, expressive and melodic, are typical of Prokofiev's warmer style.
