Life
editShchurovsky was born on 12 February 1850,[2] in Zolotonoshsky Uyezd, Poltava Governorate into a noble family. He spent his early life in Moscow and was interested in instruments and music when he was young. He studied piano and music theory at the Moscow Conservatory, whose director at the time was Nikolai Rubinstein. During that time he also befriended Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, regularly sending letters to each other.[3] After finishing, he began conducting at the Imperial Theatres in Moscow and organised concerts and musical lectures.[4][5]
In 1870, he became an opera band leader in Kharkiv. Later, he became the head of the Bolshoi Theatre, one of the most famous music theatres in Russia but then resigned to continue giving lectures on music. He dedicated his romance "To You, My Friend" to his long-time friend, Pavel A. Khokhlov, a famous Bolshoi Theatre soloist and baritone[6] in Russia.
In 1888,[7][8] he composed the music to Sansoen Phra Barami which would later become the de facto national anthem of Siam until 1932, where it is now used as the current royal anthem of Thailand.
In 1889, he moved to a farmstead in Shchigrovsky Uyezd, Kursk Governorate where his wife Vera Ivanovny (née Ofrosimova) owned an estate.
Shchurovsky sometimes translates works about music. Shchurovsky wrote a book about musical instructions and in 1890, he gathered different national anthems and published them as a book, titled "Сборник национальных гимнов всех государств света" (Collection of national anthems of all countries of the world)[9]
Shchurovsky died on 14 September [O.S. 27 September] 1908 in Kursk.[10][11] He is buried in the Vsehsvyatskoe Cemetery, Tula.[1]
