Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov was a Russian composer in the Romantic era who was skilled in orchestration for his many suites and operas. Rimsky-Korsakov is most well known for three of his many great pieces: his symphonic suite Scheherazade, his Spanish suite Cappricio Espanol, and his concert overture - Russian Easter Festival Overture.
Although Rimsky-Korsakov was not a believer, he composed this beautiful concert overture for the most sacred Christian holiday- Easter.
The melodies of the overture are taken from the Russian Orthodox Christian Liturgy. One professor describes the piece as a narrative story of a Russian Easter day from dawn until dusk.
On this Easter weekend, observed by Christians throughout the world, Tales thought this overture by Rimsky-Korsakov is appropriate for this classical music weekend on the Tales.
Please turn up the volume and enjoy.
