RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works
RUSSIAN & UKRAINIAN Russian & Ukrainian Symphonies and Orchestral Works Occupying a vast land mass that has long been a melting pot of home-spun traditions and external influences, Russia’s history is deeply encrypted in the orchestral music to be found in this catalogue. Journeying from the Russian Empire through the Soviet era to the contemporary scene, the music of the Russian masters covers a huge canvas of richly coloured and immediately accessible works. Influences of folklore, orthodox liturgy, political brutality and human passion are all to be found in the listings. These range from 19th-century masterpieces penned by ‘The Mighty Five’ (Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, Borodin, and Cui) to the edgy works of Prokofiev and Shostakovich that rubbed against the watchful eye of the Soviet authorities, culminating in the symphonic output of one of today’s most noted Russian composers, Alla Pavlova. Tchaikovsky wrote his orchestral works in a largely cosmopolitan style, leaving it to the band of brothers in The Mighty Five to fully shake off the Germanic influence that had long dominated their homeland’s musical scene. As part of this process, they imparted a thoroughly ethnic identity to their compositions. The titles of the works alone are enough to get the imaginative juices running, witness Borodin’s In the Steppes of Central Asia, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh, and Mussorgsky’s St John’s Night on the Bare Mountain. Supplementing the purely symphonic works, instrumental music from operas and ballets is also to be found in, for example, Prokofiev’sThe Love for Three Oranges Suite, Shostakovich’s four Ballet Suites, and Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite.

Boston Symphony Orchestra Concert Programs, Season 35,1915-1916, Trip
Symphony No. 2, "Antar," Op. 15. Nicolas Andrejevitch Rimsky-Korsakoff (Born at Tikhvin, in the government of Novgorod, March 18,* 1844; died at Petrograd, June 21, 1908.) This symphony, composed in 1868, was first performed in Petro- grad at a concert of the Russian Musical Society on March 22, 1869. The year of performance is erroneously given as 1868 by some bi- ographers. The first performance in Germany was at Magdeburg in June, 1881, at a concert of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Musikverein Festival. " Antar" was performed in New York in the course of the season 1891-92, at one of three concerts with orchestra given by The Arion Society in Arion Hall, led by Frank Van der Stucken. The symphony is dedicated to Cesar Cui, and is scored for three flutes (one interchangeable with piccolo), two oboes (one interchange- able with English horn), two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, a set of three kettledrums, bass drum, tambourine, triangle, cymbals, tam-tam, harp, and the usual strings. Antar, as a historical character, was the son of an Abyssinian slave. His father was a chieftain in the tribe of Abs. He acknowledged and freed him, and Antar became famous as a poet and by his deeds. He asked his Uncle Malik for the hand of his cousin Abla. Malik accepted the offer, but, not wishing his daughter to wed the son of a slave girl, he led him into perilous adventures. Antar was slain by one of his foes about 615. According to Clement Huart's "History of Arabic Literature," this true desert poet ' Antara, son of Shaldad, "whose name was later to serve the popular story-tellers of the romance of 'Antar as the incarnate type of the virtues ascribed to the wandering paladins of the heathen tribes," was a mulatto and his lower lip was split.

NIKOLAY Rimsky~Korsakov
NIKOLAY RImsKY~KORsakov Nikolay RImsKY-KORsakov PIANO DUOS Although Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov composed in most of the usual forms, it is for his operas and orchestral works that he is chiefly remembered. It is also in these Artur Pizarro & Vita Panomariovaite compositions that his best music is to be found. He did compose choral works, chamber and instrumental music and songs but this part of his output is neither widely known Scheherazade Op.35 about by the general music lover nor thought very highly of by the musicologist. (arr. Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov) Indeed, gerald Abraham, a prolific biographer of the composer, when writing for the 1 I: Largo e maestoso 11.18 New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (macmillan, 1980) claimed that Rimsky- 2 II: Lento 11.24 Korsakov’s solo piano compositions, although including some well-made fugues, are, 3 III: Andantino quasi allegretto 10.32 ‘like the handful of chamber works, negligible in value.’ In his book – Six Great Russian 4 IV: Allegro molto 13.14 Composers (Rockliff, 1946) – Donald Brook also suggested that several of the minor works Rimsky-Korsakov produced, in particular the piano pieces, were ‘absolutely 5 Sadko Op.5 11.52 (arr. Nadezhda Nikolayevna Rimskaya-Korsakova) devoid of the vivid spontaneity that characterizes so much of his music’. Apart from the aforementioned fugues, the piano works include two or three sets of variations Capriccio Espagnol Op.34 (one on a theme by the composer’s eldest son, misha), various preludes, scherzos (arr. Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov) and the like, and, written in collaboration with Borodin, Cui, Liadov and others, a set 6 I: Alborada 1.17 of Paraphrases on that irritating little tune known in english as ‘chopsticks’ and in 7 II: Variazioni 4.19 Russian as Táti-táti.

RIMSKY-KORSAKOV's ANTAR SYMPHONY: a BIOGRAPHICAL and ANALYTICAL STUDY by Nicolas Krusek a THESIS SUBMITTED in PARTIAL FULFILLM
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV’S ANTAR SYMPHONY: A BIOGRAPHICAL AND ANALYTICAL STUDY by Nicolas Krusek A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2014 © Nicolas Krusek, 2014 Abstract Rimsky-Korsakov composed his Symphony No. 2, Antar, in 1868, during his apprenticeship to Balakirev and involvement with The Five. Based on an oriental tale by Osip Senkovsky, it was the first multi-movement, programmatic orchestral work in Russian music. Rimsky-Korsakov revised Antar twice, in 1875 – by which time he was a professor at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory – and 1897. This thesis will examine the original 1868 version of Antar by placing it in the context of his career and the influences that shaped his style. The first chapter presents a biographical sketch of Rimsky-Korsakov, with emphasis on his education and training, including his studies with Balakirev in the 1860s and his rigorous course of self- education in harmony, counterpoint, form, and orchestration in the 1870s. The second chapter begins with a summary of the tale by Senkovsky upon which the music is based, followed by an analysis of the themes, harmony, and orchestration of each movement of Antar. I will show how the form and character of the work are indebted to ideas espoused by Balakirev and The Five, including their fondness for program music, orientalism, unconventional scales and modes, and harmonic progressions based on common tones. I will also draw attention to aspects of the tonal organization and scoring that are elaborated in the composer’s textbook, the Practical Manual of Harmony.
