The song alludes to Savva Mamontov. The creator of the Russian Private Opera in Moscow. His success with the opera led to a triumph in moscow in the late 1800's. Most likely, it is referring to the way you can change things. In this sense, Stephen Jenkins was probably thinking that music could change things-- being that he is so passionate about it.
