If Rimsky-Korsakov has written a piece of music that I do not like, I have yet to hear it. Today is Christmas Eve, so I shall once again listen to this, as well as share it online with friends.

I will never understand why Russian composers are so under-rated in the west, all the while I have to listen to the same old Beethoven and Mozart pieces over and over in concert houses. Maybe this is related to how the west never fully understood the Russian soul and hence could also not be captivated by its music.

@@Saemi14 This country has never really embraced Russia or it's culture, for political reasons. Music overcomes this to some extent, but not much. When we are at odds politically, you will hear less Russian music in the concert halls. I have great respect for many Russian composers. They are up there among the best we have ever had in classical music, particularly romantic and late romantic composers. But sadly, as the political climate is these days, they will not be heard in the concert halls in the US very often. And likewise, they probably program few, if any, American composers in Russia.

@@Marinavalerevna That's a terrible thing to experience. No one should be criticized for simply listening to music. If one looks at classical music historically, the German and Austrian cultures produced many great composers (Bach, Brahms, Haydn, Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, etc.). Probably more than any other country, so it's pretty difficult to avoid listening to them.

I've never seen "Kinder im Schnee" (Children in the Snow), but it obviously depicts the conclusion of the story upon which Humperdinck based his 1910 opera "Konigskinder" ("The King's Children"), complete with the little flock of geese on the left side. The opera was commissioned and premiered by the NY Metropolitan, but failed to re-capture the magic of the composer's "Hansel and Gretel". Still, the music is incredibly gorgeous, especially in this transcendentally beautiful closing scene.

I'm struck by the influence this suite obviously had on James Horner and his compositions for the "Star Trek" movies.

Nikolai was the Mythopoeic Artist of that time. He seemed to only one of a few who drew upon what Russian Epic Myth was available to utilize to glorify Russian Art Tradition. If only he had lived past his sell-by date, what wonders we might have seen.

Crikey! Does that mean that people who have not gone "through crisis caused by catastrophes and losses" have no meaning in their lives? Or does it mean that their lives have no meaning? What is classified (officially, or authentically, or mythopoetically) as "ominous", and if I never meet it, does that mean I am living without meaning? How does Christmas Eve come into all this?

Well, I am very fond of him too, but can''t agree that he was one of the few to draw upon Russian myth. He was one of a group that concentrated on a more Russian music, and though most of them died or became unimportant, he became very successful, especially after, at Tchaikovsky's suggestion, he pursued a technical education. R-K probably tried to insinuate more Russian myth than most of them in his music, but Stravinsky's Firebird, Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker, some of Mussorgsky's work, Glinka before any of them, utilized Russian or Slavic myth or folk-lore. Others too.

So apparently no one, including Ingrid, took Ingrid's advice and looked up the word mythopoeic. It's not difficult to do. And it has nothing to do with Rimsky-Korsakov or Hinduism, either one. More along the lines of H.P. Lovecraft or J.R.R. Tolkien.

Aaron Copland inherited the skill to emulate the melodic music of Russia, especially the melodies of Rimsky-Korsakov...the first three minutes of this piece reminded me of parts of "Appalachian Spring," but what really caught my ear was from 26:56-27:30. So incredibly beautiful! I wonder if Copland was influenced by this?--If not, it is just DNA from Russian culture.

Actually this track was used in the soviet cartoon of "the night before christmas" the whole cartoon is based on and fitted in with this complete piece of music. I am not shure about the title in english, but in Russian the title of the cartoon is: "Ночь перед рождеством." A very good cartoon. I wached it when I was a child back in the soviet.
