from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georgi Petrovich Dmitrijew ( Russian Георгий Петрович Дмитриев , scientific transliteration Georgij Petrovič Dmitriev ; born October 29, 1942 in Krasnodar , Soviet Union ; † July 15, 2016 in Moscow , Russia ) was a Russian composer .

Life

After training at the Krasnodar Music School, he studied instrumentation with Nikolai Rakow and composition with Dmitri Kabalewski at the Moscow Conservatory from 1961 to 1966 , with whom he still completed an apprenticeship until 1968 . From 1969 to 1982 he taught at the Gnessin Institute in Moscow . From 1986 he was deputy chairman, from 1988 to 1992 the first freely elected chairman of the Moscow Composers' Union. During his time, this association separated in 1989 from the Soviet composers' association under Tikhon Khrennikov and became independent. Dmitrijew was also involved in the founding of music festivals such as Moscow Spring , Erbe [Naslediye], Panorama and Eintracht [Soglasiye]. At these meetings, works by previously excluded composers - such as the 1st Violin Concerto by Nikolai Roslawez - were performed, but also works by representatives of the long-banned Western avant-garde - such as Iannis Xenakis , Karlheinz Stockhausen and Luciano Berio .

In 1993 Dmitrijew became chairman of the Russian Music Cooperative , from 1994 he also taught as a professor at the Russian Academy of Choral Art .

Create

He wrote works for the stage, oratorios, orchestral works, chamber music, choral and solo vocal works as well as numerous film music, among others. a. on The War Is Not A Counting Game (1977). Stylistically, he combined old folk songs and Byzantine liturgies with methods of western modernity. Its spectrum ranged from elements of twelve-tone technology to electronic music and tonal sounds; In the 80s he described himself as a "supporter of the free use of different composition techniques and styles". During this time, he created works on Soviet subjects such as his 2nd symphony Auf dem Kulikovo-Feld (1979) based on Alexander Blok , the orchestral work Packeis - Treibeis (1983) based on reading Lenin's State and Revolution and the oratorio Cosmic Russia (1984) according to texts u. a. by Konstantin Ziolkowski , Juri Gagarin and Wladimir Majakowski . From the end of the 80s a turn towards the religious began, which then led to choral works such as The Just Russia (1995). Dmitriev's compositions have also been performed outside Russia in France, Italy, Germany and the USA.
