for SATB and organ or brass ensemble This arrangement of Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Glory' (Slava, Op.21) by Terry Price brings this popular Russian anthem to a wider audience. The original Russian text has been replaced with a hymn by the arranger that draws inspiration from words by Reginald Heber, verses from Revelation, and the liturgy, and is particularly suitable for Easter, as well as for general use. Price's arrangement of this rousing tune may be accompanied by organ or brass ensemble, allowing for performance in both church and concert settings.

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) was a prolific composer of orchestral works and many other forms of music, including chamber works and art songs. He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which are featured in this collection.
Contents include the famous orchestral interlude "The Flight of the Bumblebee" as well as the suite from "The Tale of Tsar Saltan." This fanciful opera was based on Aleksandr Pushkin's poem, "The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan." Additional selections include the suite from another work inspired by Pushkin's poetry, " The Golden Cockerel," a controversial satire of the disastrous effects of the tsarist regime. Nikolai Gogol's "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" served as the basis for" Christmas Eve," a tale of magical doings on Christmas Eve. The final suite is from "Dubinushka," Op. 62, a work rooted in a song the composer overheard protesters singing during the 1905 revolution. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive collection of popular works, all reproduced from authoritative sources.

Rimsky-Korsakov's second excursion into the symphonic form came early in his career (1869) but underwent two major revisions, in 1875 and 1897. The second version of 1875 was modified in 1903 due to his publisher Bessel's refusal to engrave the new plates required for the final version of 1897. This 1875/1903 revision became the most popular version for many decades, as the final version of 1897 did not appear in print until nearly a decade after the composer's death. This colorful, exotic symphony - later termed a "symphonic suite" by its composer, is easily the best known of the three composed by the great Russian master of orchestral writing . The study score offered here is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued around 1947 by the Soviet State publishing house, Muzgiz.
