Aleksandr Grechaninov is an original and colourful figure in the history of Russian music at the end of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century.
Gifted not only with a rare longevity, but also with a remarkable capacity for work, he left Russia in 1925 at the age of sixty when everything in his artistic make-up was already formed. He proved to be a ‘late’, slowly developing artist, and in his declining years was still developing. For example, at the age of seventy he turned for the first time to the Mass and the motet with their Latin texts, composing some superb works and his first Mass, the Missa festiva, was performed during divine service at Notre Dame in 1934. At the age of eighty, when he was already in America, and after an interval of almost fifty years, he wrote his third opera, The Marriage, after Gogol. One of his greatest achievements during this period was the Universal Mass for soloists, chorus, organ and orchestra.
Grechaninov composed a great deal in almost all of the traditional genres. In addition to The Marriage, his output includes two other operas—Dobrynya Nikitich and Sister Beatrice a charming example of the Russian ‘modern style’. In addition there are three children’s operas, five symphonies, symphonic poems, numerous chamber works, a large number of choruses, choral cycles, hundreds of romances, children’s pieces, piano pieces.

Grechaninov received a pension for his religious music until the Revolution of 1917. He then moved to western Europe, settling in Paris in 1925. In 1939 he immigrated to the United States (which he had visited frequently since 1929), and he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1946.
