Though the first published version of this piece appeared in 1886 it was not until Maurice Ravel created an Orchestral version of Pictures From An Exhibition in 1922 that the world awoke to the magnificence of the work. Originally created to honour a deceased artist friend of Mussorgsky’s by creating musical impressions of his art works at an exhibition the work also represents the composer’s version of Russian national music a cause to which Mussorgsky was dedicated.The music includes translations of the composer’s own comments on each movement in descriptions of the pictures. The Promenade is now frequently used as a processional at weddings.

Few operas have had such a remarkable history as Mussorgsky’s masterpiece Boris Godunov. It exists in no less than three complete versions by the composer himself as well as posthumous editions and orchestrations by Rimsky-Korsakov (from which this arrangement is taken) Shostakovich and others.The Coronation Scene is set in the Square of the Moscow Kremlin between the Cathedral of the Assumption and the Cathedral of Archangel Michael the year is 1598. After being crowned as Tsar Boris Godunov acknowledges the people’s acclamations and the bells of the two cathedrals as well as many churches within the vicinity can beheard ringing out across St Petersburg.Available here is the score for Mussorgsky’s Coronation Scene (Boris Godunov) as arranged for Brass Band by Phillip Littlemore.

Par MUSSORGSKY MODEST. The death in 1873 of Mussorgsky's friend Victor Hartmann was the stimulus for the initial creation of what was to become one of the most vividly colourful works in the orchestral repertoire. However, Mussorgsky's original piano version of Pictures At An Exhibition was not even published until 5 years after his death, and remained almost unknown until Ravel's masterful orchestration of it in 1922. From then on it has become favourite in the orchestral repertoire. This is the piano version of Mussorgsky’s famous work./ Répertoire / Piano

Arr. Tohru Takahashi. Par MUSSORGSKY MODEST. Compositeur essentiellement autodidacte, Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) descend d’une famille aisée de la noblesse russe. Son chef-d’oeuvre lyrique Boris Godounov est basé sur la tragédie d’Alexandre Pouchkine, dans laquelle Boris Godounov, tsar autoproclamé et soutenu par le peuple faillit à son rôle. En 1896, l’opéra connaît le succès dans une version retouchée par Rimski-Korsakov. La version originale de Moussorgski contient cependant des idées uniques, des détails harmoniques, mélodiques et instrumentaux innovateurs. Pour réaliser cette pièce captivante pour Orchestre d’Harmonie, Tohru Takahashi a rassemblé les superbes thèmes musicaux de l’opéra. / Niveau : 5 / Pièce de concert / Date parution : 1905-06-26/ Répertoire / Concert Band
