More than a million citizens perished. Survivors recall corpses littering the frozen streets, their relatives having neither the means nor the strength to bury them. Residents burned books, furniture, and floorboards to keep warm. They ate family pets and -- eventually -- one another to stay alive. Trapped between the Nazi invading force and the Soviet government itself was composer Dmitri Shostakovich, who would write a symphony that roused, rallied, eulogized, and commemorated his fellow citizens -- the Leningrad Symphony, which came to occupy a surprising place of prominence in the eventual Allied victory. This is the true story of a city under siege: the triumph of bravery and defiance in the face of terrifying odds. It is also a look at the power and layered meaning of music in beleaguered lives. 521 8 990 |bLexile 600 10 Shostakovich, Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich, |d1906-1975 |vJuvenile literature. |=^A47790 600 10 Shostakovich, Dmitriĭ Dmitrievich, |d1906-1975. |tSymphonies, |nno. 7, op. 60, |rC major |vJuvenile literature. |=^A532671 650 0 Composers |zRussia |vBiography |vJuvenile literature. |=^A417025 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zRussia |vJuvenile literature. |=^A25635 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xMusic and the war |vJuvenile literature. |=^A211273 650 0 Music |xPsychological aspects |vJuvenile literature. |=^A106790 650 0 Morale |vJuvenile literature. |=^A8785 651 0 Saint Petersburg (Russia) |xHistory |ySiege, 1941-1944 |vJuvenile literature. |=^A161016 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n12239922 938 Baker and Taylor |bBTCP |nBK0016345805 938 Brodart |bBROD |n111911869 949 B SH821A |wDEWEY |hJOYNER11 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 590 Little-472049--3051310671880 596 1 2 998 4350323
