Description: hebalin wrote all his choral cycles between 1949 and 1963. The notes point out that his style fits none of the established Russian choral styles (Russian ethnographic, synodal, Soviet or European) and that he uses voices like he'd use instruments for texture, timbre and voice-leading, making his music rather complicated to get right. Russian (Cyrillic)-English texts. Russkaya Conservatoria Chamber Capella; Nikolai Khondzinsky.
