Russian composer Valery Gavrilin (b. 1939, Volodga; d. 1999, St. Petersburg) completed his thirteen movement composition Chimes in 1982 and subtitled it Upon Reading V. Shukshyn Miracle Play - Choral Symphony. Throughout the piece one finds the image of an endless road - as a river of life - travelled by generation to generation. The lamenting narrative about all that can't be during the winter is enhanced by tenor solo and varied choral textures in this plaintive movement.
