In contrast to the monumental Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution, this cantata, in one movement, lasts for a mere 8 minutes. The short duration was obviously a disappointment for the Soviet authority, which had expected something in a grandiose manner (cf. Shostakovich's Symphony No. 9). It is scored for chorus and orchestra.
