Поручик Киже
In 1939, Prokofiev arranged the music of the film score as the cantata, "Alexander Nevsky", Op. 78, for mezzo-soprano, chorus, and orchestra. It is one of the few examples ("Lieutenant Kijé" is another) of film music that has found a permanent place in the standard repertoire, and has also remained one of the most renowned cantatas of the 20th century.
