Composed by Dizzy Stratford. Applause Series. Original Light Music. Set (Score & Parts). Composed 1989. De Haske Publications #DHP 0890140-020. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0890140-020). 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.
