This lecture presents a survey of the history of Russian polyphonic choral 
music, from the earliest experiments at two-and three-part writing in the 17th 
century to the work of contemporary composers such as Dimitriev and Genin, 
and including the repertories influence variously by Polish-Ukrainian music 
and German and Italian styles, the change in approach heralded by 
Tchaikovsky's Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, and the work of the "Moscow 
School" and the achievements of Rachmaninov.
