''The Song of the Forests'' «Песнь о лесах», Op. 81, is an oratorio by Dmitri Shostakovich composed in the summer of 1949. It was written to celebrate the forestation of the Russian steppes following the end of World War II. Premiered by the Leningrad Philharmonic under Yevgeny Mravinsky on 15 December 1949, the work was well received by the government, earning the composer a Stalin Prize the following year. The oratorio is notorious for lines praising Joseph Stalin as the "great gardener", although its later performances have normally omitted them. ==Structure== The oratorio lasts around 40 minutes and is written in seven movements: # When the War Was Over # The Call Rings Throughout the Land # Memory of the Past # The Pioneers Plant the Forests # The Fighters of Stalingrad Forge Onward # A Walk into the Future # Glory 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Song of the Forests」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
