Nikolaï Rimski-Korsakov occupe une place de choix dans la musique symphonique russe de la fin du XIXe siècle. Parmi ses opéras d'une exceptionnelle richesse musicale on citera Sadko créé en 1898. Cet opéra-byline en sept tableaux est basé sur Sadko le riche négociant Conte du Roi des mers et de la sage Vassilissa et d'anciennes ballades russes. La ballade Song of India (Chant du marchand hindou) est extraite du quatrième tableau.

This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece the music evolves from the initial ?angels'song ? their journey to heaven and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work.
