(Section C)
Led by Laurance Turner
Conducted by Julian Clifford
In the summer of 1879 Rimsky-Korsakov wrote a string quartet entirely based on Russian folk tunes, the movements being entitled respectively : ' In the Fields ', ' In the Maidens' Room ', ' Khorovod ' (a kind of choral round dance), and ' At the Monastery.' It was tried through in private, but the composer disliked the work and laid it aside till the following year. Then, having completed the opera Snow Maiden, he took the quartet out of his desk and began to orchestrate it, turning it into a ' sinfonietta '. The Sinfonietta was not completed till 1884, however. It consists of only the first three movements of the quartet, which were drastically revised as well as orchestrated. (The material of the fourth movement was afterwards used in Sadko.)
The Sinfonietta is one of the biggest orchestral works that have ever been based entirely on folk tunes. The chief melody of the slow movement has also been used by Stravinsky in The Firebird.
