Alexander Nevsky was the subject of a 1938 movie by the great Russian director, Sergei Eisenstein. Film historians consider it a classic. The film score was written by [[Sergei Prokofiev]], the composer of ''Peter and the Wolf,'' who reworked it into a cantata for chorus and orchestra. The cantata is exciting, powerful, emotional [[music]], particularly the ''Battle on the Ice'' section.
