Although the Suite,Antar, is an early work of Rimsky -Korsakov's, it is in many ways characteristic of his mature style. Except for the theme of Antar himself, most of the tunes were taken from a French collection of Arab melodies. The story is briefly this: Antar has taken refuge in the solitude of the desert, swearing unending hatred of his fellow-creatures, who have always returned him evil for good. We find him among the grandiose ruins of Palmyra. A graceful gazelle appears; Antar rescues it from the pursuit of a monstrous bird. Gazelle and bird both vanish. Antar falls asleep. and in a dream the Fairy Queen of Palmyra, Gul-Nazar, appears to him. The gazelle was none other than Gul-Nazar in disguise, and in gratitude she now promises Antar life's greatest joys. Antar awakens, still amid the ruins.
Each of the movements sets forth one of these promised joys, and this vivid and forceful march is his taste of the joy of power.
