 Mikhail Glinka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glinka also composed many art songs, many piano pieces, and some chamber music.
A much lesser work that received some attention in the last decade was Glinka's "The Patriotic Song", supposedly written for a contest for a national anthem in 1833; the music was adopted as the national anthem of the Russian Federation during 1990-2000.
Glinka in turn admired Berlioz’s music and resolved to compose some fantasies pittoresques for orchestra.

Glinka was also interested in the popular music and dance of Spain, where he lived from 1845 to 1847, which inspired the overtures Jota Aragonesa and Night in Madrid (1851).
The music of his second opera, Russlan and Ludmilla (1842), based on a poem by the Russian poet Aleksandr Pushkin, was also drawn largely from Russian folk music.
Glinka established himself as the founder of the Russian national school of music, which was subsequently carried on by such composers as Aleksandr Borodin, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.

Glinka again used Russian sources, but he also employed Eastern music and Viennese dance music.
The two major musical influences in his life were the folk music that he grew up with in the country and the operas of Vincenzo Bellini and Gaetano Donizetti.
This highly original music is interlarded, however, with set pieces in the ubiquitous Italian operatic style of the time.

Glinka has wedded this patriotic theme to inspiring music.
His melodies, moreover, show distinct affinity to the popular songs of the Russians, so that the term "national" may justly be applied to them.
This was the turning point in Glinka's life -- for the work was not only a great success, but in a manner became the origin and basis of a Russian school of national music.
