Part 2
Symphonic Suite: Antar Rimsky-Korsakov
This suite is based on an Arabian tale. In the first movement the hero, Antar, roving disconsolate and embittered among the ruins of an old city, sees a gazelle attacked by an eagle and saves it. The gazelle is a fairy who grants him three wishes.
The second movement describes the joy of revenge; the third movement the joy of power; and the finale the joy of love.
