    CALL FOR PAPERS MLADA-MSHA International Network CLARE-ARTES Research Center (Bordeaux) Organize an international symposium оn 21-22-23 October, 2015 At Bordeaux Grand Theatre FROM BORDEAUX TO SAINT PETERSBURG, MARIUS PETIPA (1818-1910) AND THE « RUSSIAN » BALLET The great academic ballet, known as « Russian ballet », is the product of a historical process initiated in 18th century in Russia and completed in the second part of 19th century by Victor-Marius-Alphonse Petipa (1818-1910), principal ballet master of the Saint Petersburg Imperial Theatres from 1869 to his death. Born in Marseilles in a family of dancers and actors, Marius Petipa, after short- term contracts in several theatres, including Bordeaux Grand Theatre, pursued a more than 50 years long carreer in Russia, when he became « Marius Ivanovitch ». He layed down the rules of the great academic ballet and left for posterity over 60 creations, among which the most famous are still presented on stages all around the world. Petipa’s name has become a synonym of classical ballet. His work has been denigrated, parodied, or reinterpreted ; however, its meaning remains central in the reflection of contemporary choreographers, as we can see from young South African choreographer Dada Masilo’s recent new version of Swan Lake. Moreover, Petipa’s work still fosters controversies as evidenced by the reconstructions of his ballets by S.G. Vikharev at the Mariinsky theatre or Teatro alla Scala, and by Iu. P. Burlaka at the Bolchoï. Given the world-famous name of Petitpa one might expect his œuvre, as a common set of fundamental values for international choreographic culture, to be widely known.

  • The Impact of Russian Music in England 1893-1929
    THE IMPACT OF RUSSIAN MUSIC IN ENGLAND 1893-1929 by GARETH JAMES THOMAS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Music School of Humanities The University of Birmingham March 2005 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis is an investigation into the reception of Russian music in England for the period 1893-1929 and the influence it had on English composers. Part I deals with the critical reception of Russian music in England in the cultural and political context of the period from the year of Tchaikovsky’s last successful visit to London in 1893 to the last season of Diaghilev’s Ballet russes in 1929. The broad theme examines how Russian music presented a challenge to the accepted aesthetic norms of the day and how this, combined with the contextual perceptions of Russia and Russian people, problematized the reception of Russian music, the result of which still informs some of our attitudes towards Russian composers today. Part II examines the influence that Russian music had on British composers of the period, specifically Stanford, Bantock, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Frank Bridge, Bax, Bliss and Walton.

  • Sergei Rachmaninoff
    Peoria Symphony Orchestra January 24, 2016 Program Notes by Michael Allsen This family matinee, titled “Fairy Tales and Scary Tails” features five works: three of which have appeared in the Disney animated films Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. The first two works are on the “scary” side: Mussorgsky’s threatening Night on Bald Mountain and the skeletal Danse macabre by Saint-Saëns. Next is gorgeous music from Tchaikovsky’s fairy-tale ballet The Sleeping Beauty. Two French pieces round off the show, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Dukas, and the sometimes satirical and hilarious Carnival of the Animals, featuring narrator Dr. Kim Pereria. Modest Mussorgsky (1839 -1881) Night on Bald Mountain (edited by Nicolay Rimsky-Korsakov) Mussorgsky composed the “orchestral fantasy” Night on Bald Mountain in 1867. The version heard at this concert was revised and orchestrated by Rimsky- Korsakov, who also conducted the premiere in St. Petersburg on October 27, 1886. The young Mussorgsky first came across Nicolay Gogol’s short story St. John’s Eve as a teenager. This rather bloody and disturbing tale involves jealousy, deals with the Devil, and human sacrifice. Several years later, he returned to Gogol’s story as the basis for an orchestral piece - in particular its witches’ sabbath scene, and the satanic Tchernobog on Mount Trigalaff. Though his mentor Mily Balikirev had helped him with the original conception, the finished work was just too wild and barbaric for Balikirev, and he criticized it harshly. Mussorgsky reworked the piece twice, including a version intended to be used in a collaborative version of the opera Mlada in 1872.
