These timeless melodies from Alexander Borodin have been lifted from the original score, arranged for strings and transposed into the friendlier key of G Major. This piece poses a challenge suitable for advanced middle school orchestras, or a good exercise in melodic shaping and tone production for an intermediate high school group. Major teaching features include triplets, syncopation, ornaments, 16th note rhythms and slurs. Polovtsian Dances provides a beautiful concert selection for any time of the year.

The Responsories - in English in the original - owe their origin to a plan by Luther D. Reed, a professor of liturgy, to accompany liturgical reforms in the American Lutheran Church with suitable contemporary church music. The English edition (Carus 52.501/10) is based largely on the manuscript. When necessary, for the present German version rhythmic subdivisions were made or slurs for melismas were included.
