The music of Rimsky-Korsakov's suite ' Mlada ' is drawn from the score of the ballet-opera of the same name. The incidents of the plot are supposed to occur in the tenth century;, and the place is a town on the Baltic coast where m'any nationalists mix. The suite consists of five pieces-an Introduction, a Redova (in former days a popular ballroom dance which came from Bohemia), a Lithuanian Dance, an Indian Dance, and a Procession, with trumpets, drums, and all the gay colours Rimsky-Korsakov loved to use.
One hundred years from now there may be a programme about the present day, and it might be something like this !
