Strastnaya Sedmitsa (Grechaninov)

''Strastnaya sed'mitsa'' (Страстна́я седми́ца ; The Passion Week) Op.58 is a 1911 Russian-language choral work by Alexander Grechaninov. The work shows the influence of Wagner rather than Russian nationalist musical trends.Marina Frolova-Walker - Russian music and nationalism: from Glinka to Stalin 2007 -- Page 290 "Grechaninov, for example, began to expand the harmonic palette of his church music in ways that owed much more to Wagner than Russian nationalism, particularly in his non-chant-based works, such as Strastnaya sed'mitsa (The Passion Week)..."
