Even went to question/answer sites, wrote out the piece in musical notation, gave the key and notes that were played (I have an ok ear due to being a musician) and no one could could quite get there. We all came the consensus that it was indeed the song from wizard of oz: "the witch is dead" but I knew there was just no way that could've played and here I am today... wonderful.

[@alalbatross6549]

Very few people know that this piece originally had title Serbian-Russian Marsh. This composition was inspired by the events of the Serbian-Turkish War of 1876. It was created at the request of a close friend of Tchaikovsky's, Nikolai Rubinstein, director of Musical Society, to write a work that would be performed at a charity concert of the Red Cross for the Russians wounded in this war. Tchaikovsky agreed and wrote this work in five days. At first, the composer intended to write a symphonic fantasy, but nevertheless decided that the elements of three Serbian folk songs: "The bright sun, you do not shine equally kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKC6nZmZrcelfNU", "This is the doorstep of Serbia" and "Powder dust" (the second part of the song "Gladly goes Serb in soldiers" kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5qnemqHmah9oKs), merged into one composition. He found the melodies in the collection of Cornelius Stankovic's "Serbian Folk Melodies", printed in Vienna in 1862, for which the Serbian composer was awarded the Russian Order of St. Stanislaus by royal decree. At the end of the composition, he used the melody of the Russian anthem "God, Guard the Tzar". The first part of this composition describes the suffering of Serbs under Turkish occupation and war crimes in the Balkans, in which Tchaikovsky used two Serbian folk songs (with characteristic Serbian scale with augmented second). Then, followed by the second part describing the uprising of the Serbs and the gathering of Russian volunteers ready to come to the aid of their brothers. General Mikhail Chernyayev came to Serbia with several thousand volunteers, where he received Serbian citizenship and became the commander-in-chief of the Serbian army on the Moravian Front. In the battles around Aleksinac, great sacrifice was shown by Serbian soldiers. Colonel Rajevski (the prototype of Vronsky in Tolstoy's novel Anna Karenina) was killed in the battle near Adrovac. His body was buried in the gate of the monastery of St. Roman in Junis The third part causes the greatest emotions of the listener because it shows the death, withdrawal and anguish of the wounded Serbia. The last, most lively part is the march of Russian volunteers! The premiere of the Serbian-Russian Marsh was held on November 5th 1876 at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, under the conductor Nikolai Rubinstein and caused the real sensation, which grew into a patriotic event. The conductor had to repeat the work as a whole. Three days later, on November 8, 1876, Tchaikovsky wrote a letter to his sister A.I. Davidova (to which he was very attached): "Last Saturday, my Serbian-Russian March played here, which produced a storm of patriotic mood." "All the audience got up, many jumped out of the chairs, and cheered bravely mixed with the screams." Until then, Tchaikovsky was considered a good composer and not a very successful conductor (because of his shyness, he was visibly dull on the stage), but his Serbian-Russian march, as he always called him, definitely made him a celebrity. After a fantastic success in Moscow, this work will undergo a huge success under his conductor's stick in Europe and be included in his constant repertoire. He also performed it at the opening of the Carnegie Hall in New York. In the first, original print, there is a title "Serbian-Russian March" and under that name this work was performed from the very beginning, but on the next Jurgenson Edition (Peter Jurgenson) as the title of the composition it says "Slavonic Marsh" and under that name, Marsh became known all over the world. It is not known for what reason this change occurred ... Perhaps because of the fear of resistance from listeners in Europe? In any case, we can only guess. The battle for Serbia in Kosovo continues. Serbia is fighting Muslim terrorist head choppers, narco traffickers Albanian gangs returning from Syria today.

[@user-ks5ql7mz9w]

About False name of the march. True name is "Slavic march" In September 1876 Tchaikovsky received an order of the Directorate of the Russian Musical Society concert to write in favor of the march of the Red Cross Society. Charity concert was intended for the benefit of the wounded in the Russian-Turkish war. All Russian society itself Tchaikovsky with great sympathy and awe attitude to what is happening in the Balkans, the Slavic peoples struggle against Ottoman rule. During the works of Tchaikovsky march calls it "Serbo-Russian March". In March edition is named "Slavic". One of the hallmarks of Tchaikovsky this period, there was an appeal to the musical folklore of various nations. For example, it uses the Serbian tunes in the works dealing with the events of the war in the Balkans. The march Tchaikovsky uses three authentic Serbian folk themes and Russian National Anthem "God Save the Tsar!".

[@Rizoof1]

It does mean "Slavic March" in French. Russian nobility used to speak French as a sign of refinement. And the word slave and esclave come from latin Sclavus which comes from an old-Slavic ("Старословенски“) word "slovenin" which means Slav. slave (v.) Look up slave at Dictionary.com 1550s, "to enslave," from slave (n.). The meaning "work like a slave" is first recorded 1719. Related: Slaved; slaving. slave (n.) Look up slave at Dictionary.com late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples. This sense development arose in the consequence of the wars waged by Otto the Great and his successors against the Slavs, a great number of whom they took captive and sold into slavery. [Klein]
