According to his teachers, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893), was not particularly gifted. His special talents were acknowledged only in 1865 when he had been working for the Ministry of Finances for some years.
In 1866 he was appointed teacher at the Conservatory and applied himself to composing. His oeuvre is fairly extensive and many of his compositions receive a high ranking on the international list of classical music, including his six symphonies, solo concertos (violin concerto and piano concertos), ballets (The Nut Cracker, Swan Lake), and his overtures (1812 and Romeo and Juliette).
In 1893 Tchaikovsky died of Cholera after drinking a glass of infectedwater.

His Slavonic March is a popular concert piece for symphonic orchestra that is still frequently performed in concert halls.
David Well arranged the theme and created a contemporary march in rock style.

Tchaikovsky once said to an unsatisfied teacher: ‘I will be a great composer within 10 years time.’

Volgens zijn leraren was Pjotr Iljitsj Tsjaikovski (1840-1893) niet bijzonder begaafd. Zijn speciale talenten werden alleen erkend in 1865, toen hij enkele jaren had gewerkt voor het ministerie van Financiën.
In 1866 werd hijbenoemd tot docent aan het Conservatorium en legde zich toe op het componeren. Zijn oeuvre is vrij uitgebreid en veel van zijn composities krijgen een hoge ranking op de internationale lijst van klassieke muziek, met inbegrip vanzijn zes symfonieën, soloconcerten (viool en piano), balletten (De Notenkraker, Het Zwanenmeer), en zijn ouvertures (1812 en Romeo en Juliette).
In 1893 is Tsjaikovski gestorven aan cholera na het drinken van een glas van besmetwater.

Zijn Slavische Mars is een populair concertwerk voor symfonie orkest.
David Well maakte een mooi arrangement van het thema en creëerde een mars in een hedendaagse rock stijl.

Tchaikovsky zei ooittegen een ontevreden leraar: 'Ik zal een groot componist zijn binnen 10 jaar tijd'.

This major concert work cosists o five movements.1st movement: La Laguna del ShimbeSituated high up in the Andes mountains in Northern Peru are the Huaringas, a group of lagoons in isolated and mysterious surroundings. The water has healing powersand for centuries traditional healers have settled there in small villages. From far the sick come to the Huaringas to be treated in nightly rituals, in which the hallucinating juice of the San Pedro cactus gives the prophet a look inside hispatient. The biggest lagoon is the “Laguna del Shimbe”, one of the countless wells of the immense Amazon stream.2nd movement: Los AguarunasFurther downstream in Northern Peru we come across the rain tribe of Los Aguarunas. It’s a proud, beautiful andindependent race, which has never succumbed to domination, not even from the Incas. They live from everything the forest has to offer: fish, fruit, plants, ... . They also grow some crops and live as semi-nomads. They take their fate into their ownhands and after having made contact with modern civilisation, they have integrated new elements into their lives without betraying their own ways.3rd movement: MekaronMekaron is an Indian word meaning “picture”, “soul”, “essence”. The Indians are theorigina inhabitants of the Amazon region. They either live in one place as a group or move around a large region. They all have their own political system, their own language and an intense social life. At the same time they are master of music andmedicine. “Everywhere the white man goes, he leaves a wilderness behind him”, wrote the North American Indian leader Seatl in 1885. As a result of these contacts with the whites, the disruption of most Indian societies began. (In this century alone,80 tribes have vanished completely).4th movement: KêêtuajêThis is the name of the initiating ceremony of the Krahô tribe in the Brazilian state of Goias, in which young boys and girls enter adult life. They are cleansed with water, painted with redpaint and covered with feathers, after which the ritual dance holds the entire tribe spell-bound.5th movement: Paulino FaiakanIn 1988 the Indian chiefs Faiakan and Raoni Kaiapo came to Europe to protest against the building of the Altamira dam inBrazil. As a result of the dam the Indians would be driven from their traditional land and enormous artificial would be created. The project was supported financially by, amongst others, the European Community. In February 1989 the Indian tribesaround Altamira held a protest march for the first time in their history together. Amongst other things they paid tribute tot Chico Mendez, who, murdered in 1988, was the leader of the rubber syndicate and a fierce opponent of the destruction of theBrazilian rain forest. Brazilian and world opinion was awakened. The building of the dam was -albeit temporarily - stopped.

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) came from an aristocratic family which lived near Novgorod.
When he appeared to be musically gifted as a child, his parents did not hesitate one moment to map out a more honourable profession for him he wasto make a career in the navy as a marine officer.
Rimsky-Korsakov, however, succeeded in secretly studying the cello next to his studies at the Naval Academy at St Petersburg. Through his cello teacher he came into contact with the composerBalakirev.
In this way he suddenly became a member of The Mighty Five (a group of Russian composers consisting of Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov himself).
Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be so talented that he evenbecame a teacher at the St Petersburg Conservatory.

‘Procession of the Nobles’ comes from the opera-ballet ‘Mlada’.
The opera has a remarkable history, for between 1868 and 1870 five different composers worked on this project.
The finalresult was never executed, however.
Twenty years later Rimsky-Korsakov started work on the opera once more and composed his own version of Mlada.The theme of the opera is a tragic love story that is set in the early Middle Ages in a realm on theBaltic Sea. In ‘Processsion of the Nobles’ all the princesses of the country gather for a grand feast on the occasion of the summer holidays.

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) stamde uit een aristocratische familie in de buurt van Novgorod.
Toen al spoedig bleek dat hij muzikaal erg begaafd was, waren zijn ouders er als de kippen bij om voor hem een eerbaarder loopbaan uit testippelen: een carrière als marine-officier was voor hem weggelegd.
Rimsky-Korsakov zag echter kans naast zijn studies aan de Marineschool van Sint-Petersburg tevens in het geheim cello te studeren. Zijn clandestine leraar bracht hem in contactmet Balakirev.
Op die manier behoorde hij plots tot het ‘Machtige Hoopje’ (een groep Russische componisten bestaande uit: Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin en Rimsky-Korsakov).
Rimsky-Korsakov bleek zoveel talent te hebben dat hij zelfsleraar aan het conservatorium werd.

‘Procession of the Nobles’ is afkomstig uit de ballet-opera ‘Mlada’. Deze opera heeft een merkwaardige geschiedenis.
Tussen 1868 en 1870 hebben vijf verschillende componisten aan dit project gewerkt.Het eindresultaat werd echter nooit uitgevoerd.
Twintig jaar later heeft Rimsky-Korsakov de draad weer opgepakt en zijn eigen versie van Mlada gemaakt.
Het thema van de opera is een tragisch liefdesverhaal dat zich afspeelt in de vroegeMiddeleeuwen in een gebied aan de Baltische Zee. In Procession of the Nobles verzamelen alle prinsessen van het land zich voor een groot feest ter gelegenheid van de zomervakantie.
