Ivan Wyschnegradsky “Day of Being“ // Иван Вышнеградский “День бытия“

The original version of “Day of Being“ for the reader and symphony orchestra was created in 1917 as a diploma by the composer at the conservatory. It is believed that the idea of the work came to Wyshnegradsky as a result of the vision, which he himself describes as follows: “I saw the great light all day.“ The composer has been working on the “Day of Being“ almost until the end of his life.

The text was written by Wyshnegradsky on behalf of the World Spirit, which is undergoing certain transformations.
