Added by magataganm, 19 Aug 2014 "Song of the Indian Guest" or, less accurately, "Song of India" from the Opera Sadko by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. It's sweet, peaceful and majestic. Sadko (Russian: Садко, the name of the main character) is an opera in seven scenes by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The libretto was written by the composer, with assistance from Vladimir Belsky, Vladimir Stasov, and others. Rimsky-Korsakov was first inspired by the bīlina of Sadko in 1867, when he completed a tone poem on the subject, his Op. 5. After finishing his second revision of this work in 1892, he decided to turn it into a dramatic work. The opera was completed in 1896. The music is highly evocative, and Rimsky-Korsakov's famed powers of orchestration are abundantly in evidence throughout the score. Although originally transcribed by Rimsky-Korsakov for Piano and Voice, I created this arrangement for Viola and Acoustic Piano. Sheet central : | Sadko (9 sheet music) | |
