	Polovetsian Dances - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Polovetsian Dances are perhaps the best known selections from Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor.
		In the opera the dances are performed with chorus, but concert performances often omit the choral parts.
		The first dance, which uses no chorus and is sometimes omitted in concerts, is No. 8, entitled "Dance of the Polovetsian Maidens" ["Пляска половеских девушек"]: Presto, 6/8, F Major; it is placed directly after the "Chorus of the Polovetsian Maidens" which opens the act and is followed by Konchakovna's cavatina.

		The mood is decidedly agitated as the girls burst in and dance around the assembled courtiers, with the sense of excitement is heightened by the use of pizzicato strings and flute/piccolo trills.
		The Polovetsian Maidens sing and dance in an attempt to entertain Konchakovna, daughter of the Khan Konchak.
		The Polovetsian Chorus sing here of the joys of their homeland and of their Prince and this is certainly represented, as Leonard Bernstein once said, in "orchestral writing of great simplicity which truly packs a punch."

	RSO EMW IV Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		By 1875 Borodin had completed the famous Polovetsian Dances, which close Act II; the triumphant Khan Konchak, having defeated Igor, magnanimously entertains him with a series of songs and dances performed by the loveliest Polovetsian maidens.
		But the music wasn't orchestrated for years, and when Rimsky wanted to present the Dances in a St. Petersburg concert in early 1879, he had to work with Borodin (and another composer Liadov) in a frenzied all-night marathon to complete the scoring.
		The dances flow into each other in a dazzling succession that builds in intensity, speed, and excitement.
