| Description: In the Russian Orthodox Church, Easter is not only celebrated on a different date than in the West, but also in a different way, which the composer sought to represent in his Russian Easter Overture. The work is based on actual liturgical themes, which Rimsky-Korsakov found in a collection of old Russian Orthodox canticles. |
