SKU: TM.40095XSC
Composed by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Arranged by Sandra Dackow. Score. Tempo Press #40095XSC. Published by Tempo Press (TM.40095XSC).In the Russian Orthodox Church, Easter is not only celebrated on a different date than in the West, but also in a different way, which the composer sought to represent in his Russian Easter Overture. This work reflects his fascination with the legends and rituals of pagan and early-Christian Russia. The work is based on actual liturgical themes, which Rimsky-Korsakov found in a collection of old Russian Orthodox canticles.
