As Those Evening Bells. Rusian folk song (1828). Kozlov translatedquite literally a poem by Thomas Moore from 1818, then scored by John Andrew Stevenson as Those Evening Bells, subtitled: The Bells Of St. Petersburg. Soon as Ivan Kozlov had translated it in Russian (1828) Alyalyev's new melody was used.
