  • Ballet? Y First the Ballerina Glides Across the Stage, Her Arms M Making Lovely Lines in the Air
    My First alle B Album t What is Ballet? Firs The ballerina glides across the stage, her arms My t making lovely lines in the air. A beautiful tune comes from the strings of the large orchestra. She is the Sleeping Beauty: she was put into a allet deep magic sleep by the wicked witch. But she B lbum has now been woken by her handsome prince, A and he dances joyfully with her, athletic and strong. Another time, she is Princess Odette from Swan Lake, and around her the other dancers – swans in white chiffon – weave patterns in time to the music. And yet another time, she is the Sugar Plum Fairy celebrating the joy of Christmas in The Nutcracker. This is ballet, the classical dance that, once seen, is never forgotten. Even though today we have film and video games, ballet is still a powerful vision of beauty and excitement. The dancers use the strength of an athlete, the balance of a gymnast and the sensitivity of a violinist to tell stories through their dancing. Here is some of the best music which has propelled dancers for hundreds of years. 2 Tchaikovsky Swan Lake Stravinsky The Firebird 1 Scene 2:37 3 Scene I. The Firebird’s Dance 1:19 Keyword: Oboe Keyword: Fire Swan Lake is a ballet from Russia about a prince called Siegfried. In the forest he finds A firebird is a brightly coloured magical bird that comes a mysterious lake where swans are swimming, led by a beautiful but sad swan wearing out of the fire.

The synchronic loss of infernality, coherence of poetical view, appearance approach is characterized by special literary folklorism, with its of trend towards strengthening foundations associated focus on the folklorism and folkloristic tradition, but not on with form and creativeness. Henceforth, the prose was folklore itself; although, another type of association between searching for experiments directly with the form of the literary text and folklore is possible; it is determined not by piece: from the speech level to the reconstruction of author's conscious intention, but rather by the text and genre model, originating in folklore tradition.

  • Scaramouche and the Commedia Dell'arte
    Scaramouche Sibelius’s horror story Eija Kurki © Finnish National Opera and Ballet archives / Tenhovaara Scaramouche. Ballet in 3 scenes; libr. Paul [!] Knudsen; mus. Sibelius; ch. Emilie Walbom. Prod. 12 May 1922, Royal Dan. B., CopenhaGen. The b. tells of a demonic fiddler who seduces an aristocratic lady; afterwards she sees no alternative to killinG him, but she is so haunted by his melody that she dances herself to death. Sibelius composed this, his only b. score, in 1913. Later versions by Lemanis in Riga (1936), R. HiGhtower for de Cuevas B. (1951), and Irja Koskkinen [!] in Helsinki (1955). This is the description of Sibelius’s Scaramouche, Op. 71, in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet. Initially, however, Sibelius’s Scaramouche was not a ballet but a pantomime. It was completed in 1913, to a Danish text of the same name by Poul Knudsen, with the subtitle ‘Tragic Pantomime’. The title of the work refers to Italian theatre, to the commedia dell’arte Scaramuccia character. Although the title of the work is Scaramouche, its main character is the female dancing role Blondelaine. After Scaramouche was completed, it was then more or less forgotten until it was published five years later, whereupon plans for a performance were constantly being made until it was eventually premièred in 1922. Performances of Scaramouche have 1 attracted little attention, and also Sibelius’s music has remained unknown. It did not become more widely known until the 1990s, when the first full-length recording of this remarkable composition – lasting more than an hour – appeared. Previous research There is very little previous research on Sibelius’s Scaramouche.

  • Twenty-Three Tales
    Twenty-Three Tales Author(s): Tolstoy, Leo Nikolayevich (1828-1910) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Famous for his longer novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy displays his mastery of the short story in Twenty-Three Tales. This volume is organized by topic into seven different segments. Part I is filled with stories for children, while Part 2 is filled with popular stories for adult. In Part 3, Tolstoy discreetly condemns capitalism in his fairy tale "Ivan the Fool." Part 4 contains several short stories, which were originally published with illustrations to encourage the inexpensive reproduction of pictorial works. Part 5 fea- tures a number of Russian folk tales, which address the themes of greed, societal conflict, prayer, and virtue. Part 6 contains two French short stories, which Tolstoy translated and modified. Finally, Part 7 contains a group of parabolic short stories that Tolstoy dedicated to the Jews of Russia, who were persecuted in the early 1900©s. Entertaining for all ages, Tolstoy©s creative short stories are overflowing with deeper, often spiritual, meaning. Emmalon Davis CCEL Staff Writer Subjects: Slavic Russian. White Russian.

  • Roman Vlad's Reception of Stravinsky
    Hermeneutics and Creative Process: Roman Vlad’s Reception of Stravinsky Susanna Pasticci Università degli Studi di Cassino e del Lazio meridionale Roman Vlad’s experience of music was a complex universe, which manifested itself in various forms.1 His research on musical composition went hand in hand with an extraordinary intellectual activity, which resulted in the publication of several studies on the theory and history of music, and a constant activity as a promoter and critic of music. Vlad was capable of switching with great nonchalance from the role of the composer interested in new experimental forms to that of a scholar working with great methodological rigour on the music of the past and of the present. It was inevitable that these two activities would have an impact on his interpretation of music. In an effort to illustrate the complexity of this dialectic, the present article focuses on Vlad’s reception of Stravinsky’s work, analysing in parallel Vlad’s essays on Stravinsky published in the 1950s and his musical compositions written in the same period. In his writings, Vlad repeatedly underlines the centrality of the sacred in Stravinsky’s work, a rather original interpretation, which is unique in the critical debate of the time. During those same years, the sacred acquired great importance also in his musical compositions, a fact that already evidences the close relation between Vlad’s interpretation of Stravinsky’s work and his own 41 ARCHIVAL NOTES Sources and Research from the Institute of Music, No. 2 (2017) © Fondazione Giorgio Cini, Venezia ISSN 2499–832X | ISBN 9788896445167 SUSANNA PASTICCI creative activity.
