Eventually she is granted the gift of love, and the world blooms around her, but when the sun’s rays strike her, she melts and her despairing lover throws himself in a lake. The play, written in verse, seemed to cry out for music, and Tchaikovsky composed 19 pieces of incidental music for its first production in Moscow on May 23, 1873. A few years later, Rimsky-Korsakov fell in love with Ostrovsky’s play, saying that upon reading it, “My mild interest in the ancient Russian customs and heathen pantheism flamed up.” He asked (and received) Ostrovsky’s permission to turn the play into an opera and composed The Snow Maiden in 1880-81.

  • Program Notes
    Program Notes Program Notes by April L. Racana Sun. October 22, The 897th Orchard Hall Subscription Concert Mon. October 23, The 898th Suntory Hall Subscription Concert Mikhail Glinka (1804-1857) Kamarinskaya Waltz-fantasia Krakoviak from "A Life for the Czar (Ivan Susanin)" Glinka is considered by many to be the father of Russian music given that his operas and orchestral works were based on Russian themes and ultimately became models for other compatriots to incorporate Russian folk music and folk tales into their works. Tchaikovsky even commented that "all of the Russian school of symphonic works is contained in Glinka's Kamarinskaya, just as the whole oak tree is in an acorn." Oct 22 Kamarinskaya incorporates two folks songs which Glinka had encountered separately -- one a wedding song and the other a traditional dance tune. The composer himself described Oct how he came to combine the two for this work: "By chance I discovered a relationship with 23 the wedding song 'From behind the mountains', which I had heard in the country, and the folk dance tune 'Kamarinskaya', which everyone knows. And suddenly my fantasy ran high; instead of a piano piece I wrote an orchestral piece called 'Wedding Tune and Dance Tune'." The wedding song called Izza-gor opens the work as a kind of introduction which is then repeated and varied before leading into the dance tune. These two tunes alternate throughout the short work, with the dance tune repeated many dozens of times, each time a new variation, highlighting Glinka's creative abilities with orchestral timbres in various combinations and with shifting harmonies throughout.

  • Alexander Ostrovsky (1823-1886)
    Alexander Ostrovsky (1823-1886) 1 1 ”Alexander Ostrovsky”, Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wassilij_Grigorjewitsch_Perow_003.jpg 110629 Bibliotheca Alexandrina Compiled by: Ahmed Ghazi, Basma El-Massry & Ghada Nassar 1 Biography Alexander Ostrovsky was born on March 31 [April 12, New Style], 1823, in Moscow, Russia. Being the son of a government clerk, Ostrovsky attended the University of Moscow law school. From 1843 to 1848 he was employed as a clerk at the Moscow juvenile court. Ostrovsky wrote his first play, Kartiny semeynogo schastya (“Scenes of Family Happiness”), in 1847. His next play, Bankrot (“The Bankrupt”), later renamed Svoi lyudi sochtemsya (It’s a Family Affair, we’ll Settle it among ourselves), written in 1850, provoked an outcry because it exposed bogus bankruptcy cases among Moscow merchants and brought about Ostrovsky’s dismissal from the civil service. The play was banned for 13 years. In the 1860s, Ostrovsky wrote several historical plays. His main dramatic work, however, was concerned with the Russian merchant class and included two tragedies and numerous comedies, including the masterpiece Bednost ne porok (“Poverty Is No Disgrace”; 1853). His Snegurochka (“The Snow Maiden”; 1873) was adapted as an opera by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov in 1880–81. Ostrovsky is generally considered the greatest representative of the Russian realistic period. Ostrovsky was closely associated with the Maly (“Little”) Theatre, Moscow’s only dramatic state theatre, where all his plays were first performed under his supervision. He served as the first president of the Society of Russia Playwrights, which was founded on his initiative in 1874, and in 1885 he became artistic director of the Moscow imperial theatres.
