NapaValleySymphony.org - Program Notes Rimsky’s melodies and rhythms are cast in molds taken from Russian folk music, and authentic folk tunes are often quoted in his works. In folk tales and songs, ballads and legends, Rimsky saw not only high standards of artistic beauty, but a truthful representation of the way of life of the nation, its finest hopes and ambitions, its understanding of good and evil, of truth and falsehood, of beauty and ugliness. The subjects that attracted Rimsky were not psychological or historical dramas or those dealing with grand passion, but fairy tales and folk legends lent themselves to interpretation in a truly Russian idiom. www.napavalleysymphony.org /singleprogramnote_programnotes.html%26id%3D1   (2466 words)

Lesson Tutor: Classical Composer Biography: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. However Rimsky Korsakov, a master of glittering orchestration, was the leading light. Rimsky finally resigned his naval commission in May 1873 when a government position of Inspector of Naval Bands was created and offered to him, which he accepted and held from 1873 to 1884. At times Rimsky suffered from something of a creative block as regards his own music, perhaps because he was so busy helping with the unfinished work of the friends who had died. www.lessontutor.com /bf11.html   (1161 words)

The Mighty Five - Rimsky Korsakov Rimsky- Korsakov grew up listening to the folk music of his family and the music of the monastery which was near his house. “Rimsky was the ‘colorist” who went straight to the folk song for inspiration, drawing his themes and rich melodies directly from them; those he remembered and those he heard around him.” (Suzanne Massie, 351) “Rimsky became a professor of music while still retaining his commission in the navy. it.stlawu.edu /~rkreuzer/pbearse/rimsky-korsakov.htm   (333 words)

BBC - Classical Review - Rimsky-Korsakov: Sheherazade, Kirov Orchestra The repetition is no accident - it's ingenious both as a vehicle for Rimsky's fabulous inventiveness in harmony and orchestration, and as a depiction of the simultaneous sameness and unpredictability of the sea, in a movement subtitled The Sea and Sinbads Ship. All credit, however, to orchestra and conductor for the quality of playing in general, and to the producers for the balance, both in the tuttis, and in bringing out Rimsky's crystalline solo textures, such as the passages for solo cello, horn and woodwinds in the first movement. This piece of music is an example of rimsky's complete perfection. www.bbc.co.uk /music/classical/reviews/rimsky_kirov.shtml   (851 words)

Annotations to Ada, Part One, Chapter 1 The tale of Kitezh combined with the tale of St. Fevronia is the basis for an opera by [Nikolay] Rimsky-Korsakov [1844-1908] with libretto by Vladimir Belsky, The Tale of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia (composed 1904, first performed 1907). An interesting feature of Rimsky's opera is the singing of the sirin, a mythical bird that lives in paradise, to herald the final transfiguration and apotheosis of Kitezh. Another sirin associated in the Russian tradition with fairy tales and magical transformation is, of course, Vladimir Sirin, né Nabokov, who puts his personal and artistic signature on the passage in this allusion to Kitezh" (Rivers and Walker 263). www.libraries.psu.edu /nabokov/ada/ada11ann.htm   (12517 words)
