Alexander Kerin

ʻO Krain ka mea haku mele Soviet o ka hanauna kahiko, nāna i hoʻomaka i kāna hana hoʻomohala ma mua o ka ʻOkakopa Revolution o 1917. Ua hoʻomau kāna mele i ka moʻomeheu o ka Mighty Handful, a ua hoʻoikaika pū ʻia e nā haku mele French Impressionist. Ma ka hana a Crane, ʻike nui ʻia nā kumu hikina a me Sepania.

Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Alexander Abramovich Kerin ma ʻOkakopa 8 (20), 1883 ma Nizhny Novgorod. ʻO ia ke keiki muli loa a ka mea hoʻokani pila haʻahaʻa i hoʻokani i ka violin ma ka male ʻana, ʻohi i nā mele Iudaio, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o kona ola ma ke ʻano he kani piano. E like me kona mau kaikunāne, ua koho ʻo ia i ke ala o kahi mea hoʻokani pila a i ka makahiki 1897 ua komo ʻo ia i ka Conservatory Moscow ma ka papa cello o A. Glen, lawe i nā haʻawina haku mele mai L. Nikolaev a me B. Yavorsky. Ma hope o kona puka 'ana mai ka conservatory i ka makahiki 1908, ua ho'okani 'o Crane i ka orkestra, ua ho'onohonoho 'o ia no ka hale pa'i puke o Jurgenson, a mai ka makahiki 1912 i ho'omaka 'o ia e a'o ma ka Moscow People's Conservatory. I loko o kāna mau haku mele mua - romances, piano, violin a me cello - ʻike ʻia ka mana o Tchaikovsky, Grieg a me Scriabin, āna i aloha nui ai. I ka makahiki 1916, ua hana ʻia kāna hana symphonic mua - ʻo ka mele "Salome" ma hope o O. Wilde, a i ka makahiki aʻe - nā ʻāpana symphonic no ka hana keaka a A. Blok "The Rose and the Cross". I ka makahiki mua o 1920, ʻo ka First Symphony, ka cantata "Kaddish", i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i nā mākua, "Jewish Caprice" no ka violin a me ka piano, a me kekahi mau hana ʻē aʻe. I ka makahiki 1928-1930, ua kākau ʻo ia i ka opera Zagmuk e pili ana i ka moʻolelo mai ke ola o Babulona kahiko, a i ka makahiki 1939, ua ʻike ʻia ka hana koʻikoʻi a Crane, ʻo ka ballet Laurencia, ma ke kahua Leningrad.

Ma 1941, ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke Kaua Honua II, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Crane i Nalchik, a ma 1942 i Kuibyshev (Samara), kahi i loaʻa ai ka Moscow Bolshoi Theatre i nā makahiki kaua. Ma ke kauoha a ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ke hana nei ʻo Crane i ka lua ballet, ʻo Tatyana (Ke kaikamahine a ka poʻe), i hoʻolaʻa ʻia i ke kumuhana i pili loa i kēlā manawa - ka hana a kahi kaikamahine partisan. I ka makahiki 1944, ua hoʻi ʻo Crane i Moscow a hoʻomaka i ka hana ma ka Second Symphony. ʻO kāna mele no ka pāʻani a Lope de Vega "Ke Kumu Hula" he lanakila nui. Ua kaulana loa ka suite mai ia mea. ʻO ka hana symphonic hope loa a Crane, ʻo ia ka mele no ka leo, ka hīmeni wahine a me ka hoʻokani pila "Song of the Falcon" i hoʻokumu ʻia ma kahi mele a Maxim Gorky.

Ua make ʻo Crane i ka lā 20 ʻApelila, 1950 ma ka Ruza Composer's House kokoke i Moscow.
