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 traveled by generation to generation. Playful and rhythmic, the nonsensical and happy-go-lucky narrative of the fourth movement is enhanced by onomatopoeic text and thick chordal texture.
