"Eastern Gardens of the Imperial Palace" is an original coloristic play written on Japanese themes, which takes us to the East, to Japan. This is a look at the culture of the East "from within", and not through the usual European perception. And Russian folk instruments, oddly enough, are very well suited for creating an Oriental flavor.
"Eastern gardens of the Imperial Palace" was written by me in 2014 at the request of the famous St. Petersburg domristka Inna Gladovskaya. This work aims to convey the flavor of Eastern music, in this case Japanese, by means of an orchestra of Russian folk instruments, thereby expanding its expressive capabilities. I didn't want to do another pseudo-Russian duet with music that would be suitable for accompaniment to dancing and so on. I wanted to present the Russian folk orchestra primarily as a coloristic composition, to expand the usual framework of perception of this composition. While listening to a lot of different music in search of ideas for my composition, I accidentally found Japanese music played on the shamisen, a Japanese folk instrument. And I wondered: can an orchestra of Russian folk instruments create an atmosphere of Oriental music? Not in an adapted form, as we used to imagine it, since the XIX century, but in the original, to convey the spirit of this culture. This is how the "Eastern gardens of the Imperial Palace" appeared.

The work is recommended as an educational repertoire in secondary and higher educational institutions.
