Ivan the Terrible

Album by Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev

Ivan the Terrible is a film score composed by Sergei Prokofiev in 1944 for Sergei Eisenstein's historical film. The music employs modal and liturgical-inflected themes, bold orchestral textures and prominent choral writing to evoke a medieval Russian atmosphere, and it represents an example of Prokofiev's mid-1940s wartime output and his approach to large-scale historical drama.
