	A Night on Bald Mountain
		John's Night on Bald Mountain in the spring of 1866 and completed the orchestration in June 1867 (actually on St. John's Eve, June 23); it was apparently never performed in his lifetime, but he adapted the music for use in other forms, as detailed below.
		The screen interpretation was reasonably faithful to Mussorgsky's concept: a wild convocation of witches and demons on Bald Mountain (otherwise known as Mount Triglav in the Julian Alps, the highest peak in Slovenia) on St. John's Eve, in which Satan, in the form of Tchernobog (literally, the âfl godâ), is master of the revels.
		I didn't sleep at night and finished the job, as it happened, exactly on the eve of St. John's Day; something so boiled up in me that I simply didn't know what was going on with me--that is, I knew, but it isn't necessary to know this, for otherwise one may grow conceited.

		Because he was not schooled to be a professional musician and thus did not have the conservatory sophistication of say, a Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky found the primitive earthiness of Russian folk music the most natural form of expressiveness.
		Night on Bald Mountain is no exception, the piece having been recomposed by Rimsky in 1886, some five years after Mussorgsky died.

	FIREBALLET Night On Bald Mountain reviews and MP3
		The debut-album “Night On Bald Mountain” from 1975 (produced by Ian McDonald from KING CRIMSON glory) is a bit unknown beauty, other USA prog rock bands NETHERWORLD and LIFT got far more attention from the prog fans all over the world.
		"A Night On Bald Mountain" was their debut, and best known for being produced by Ian McDonald, who was previously a member of KING CRIMSON, and later a member of the multi-platinum selling AOR act FOREIGNER (a band that I don't need to explain to those who have even the slightest knowledge in FM rock).
		To me, I think "A Night on Bald Mountain" is a decent enough prog album, but I wouldn't call it essential.
