The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night is part of a series of captivating picture books, each based on a beloved songtale from the great American folk music tradition and collected by John M. Feierabend. The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night is one of the most enduring of children’s folk songtales, with roots dating back to England some 500 years ago and recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Pete Seeger, Burl Ives, The Smothers Brothers, and many more. Beautiful illustrations by Taylor Herrington evoke a wily fox as he roams a sleepy New England town in search of a meal for his family, with tones and textures that are so vivid you can almost hear the rustle of leaves and see the shimmer of moonlight over the meadows. Like the other picture books in John M. Feierabend’s First Steps in Music series, The Fox Went Out on a Chilly Night includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to a free mp3 download of the song, sung by Jill Trinka.

Duration: full eveningText by Modest Tchaikovsky after Alexander Puschkins NovelTranslation: German (W. Ebermann/M. Koerth and collaboration by H. Seeger); (R. Lauckner) Place and time: Petersburg, End of the 18th CenturyCharacters: Hermann (tenor) - Count Tomskij (baritone) - Prince Jeletzkij (baritone) -Czekalinskij (tenor) - Ssurin (bass) - Tschaplitzkij (tenor) - Narumoff (bass) - The Counts Wife (mezzo-soprano) - Lisa (soprano) - Pauline (alto) - Governess (mezzo-soprano) - Mascha (soprano) - A Steward (tenor) Characters of the intermezzo: ChloE (soprano) - Daphnis (Pauline) (alto) - Plutus (Count Tomskij) (baritone) By the time Tchaikovsky began writing Pique Dame, he had already composed eight operas and had very well developed ideas about the drama and aesthetics of the genre. Gustav Mahler, who judged Pique Dame to be Tchaikovskys most mature and artistically solid musical work, is certainly not alone with his opinion. A confession made by Tchaikovsky a few months before his death show to want extent the composer, after an initial period of hesitation, was possessed by his work on this opera: I composed it with uncommon passion and enthusiasm, suffered from everything that happens in it and related to it with every fibre in my body (it went so far that I even feared the apparition of the ghost for a while). Now I hope that all my enthusiasm, excitement and devotion will find an echo in the hearts of receptive listeners.
