Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov)
''Scheherazade'', also commonly ''Sheherazade'' ( rus, Шехеразада, Shekherazada, ʂɨxʲɪrɐˈzadə), Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888 and based on ''One Thousand and One Nights'' (also known as ''The Arabian Nights)''. This orchestral work combines two features typical of Russian music in general and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as Orientalism in general. The name "Scheherazade" refers to the main character Scheherazade of ''One Thousand and One Nights''. It is one of Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular works. Background During the winter of 1887, as he worked to complete Alexander Borodin's unfinished opera '' Prince Igor,'' Rimsky-Korsakov decided to compose an orchestral piece based on pictures from ''One Thousand and One Nights'' as well as separate and unconnected episodes.Rimsky-Korsakov, Niko ...

Rimsky-Korsakov believed in developing a nationalistic style of classical music, as did his fellow composer Mily Balakirev and the critic Vladimir Stasov. This style employed Russian folk song and lore along with exotic harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements in a ...
