Aleksandr Veprik: Pioneers' March, Op.16 No.4

Phillip Sear plays the second piece from a 1930 'Children's Album by the Ukrainian-Jewish composer and teacher Aleksandr Veprik (1899-1958). ---------------------------------------------------- Veprik was born in Balta, in the Odesa district of Ukraine, but grew up in Warsaw, and studied at the Leipzig Conservatory. His family moved to Russia at the beginning of the First World War, and Veprik continued his musical education at the Moscow Conservatory, where he later taught. He was active in promoting Jewish music in Russia and further afield, and his works were played in Germany, the USA and elsewhere in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1950 he fell foul of Stalin's regime and was arrested and sent to the Gulag as a 'Jewish nationalist'. He was released in 1954 and, weakened by this experience, spent his remaining days in Moscow. He wrote operas, symphonies, and works in many other genres, including two Ukrainian songs (1943). Although designated a children's album, the gritty musical language (reminiscent of Bartok) and large chords in the pieces of this set suggest that maybe they were intended to educate children in contemporary musical idioms. The pioneers of the title are Soviet 'Young Pioneers' a now-defunct youth movement. As of May 2022 state-organized youth movements are being revived in Russia.
