Symphony No. 3 Slavyanskaya - Boris Kozhevnikov - Movement 3 - Vivace. Performed by the Symphonic Wind Orchestra conducted by Russell Hammond

Boris Tikhonovich Kozhevnikov was born in Novgood Russia in 1905. He died in 1985. He graduated in 1933 from the Kharkov Music-Dramatic Institute where he studied composing and conducting. Following that he attended the Military School for Music in Moscow. In 1940 he joined the faculty of the Moscow Conservatory. He also held posts as conductor for several Russian theatres.

He composed more than seventy pieces for wind orchestra including five symphonies (1943, 1945, 1950, 1967 and 1977). Other works included marches, overture, tone poems, rhapsodies, suites and concerti as well as a large quantity of wind chamber music. His works are well known in Russia but apart from the Symphony No 3 subtitled Slavyanskaya and Symphony No 5, they are rarely heard in other countries. These two symphonies are regularly played outside of Russia and are an important addition to the repertoire for winds. Symphony No 3 is a 4 movement work, the movements being Allegro, Waltz, Vivace and Moderato/Joyously.
