Procession of the Nobles
Procession of the Nobles from “Mlada” (1892)
"Procession of the Nobles" (the introduction to Act II of Rimsky-Korsakov's four-act opera “Mlada”) arranged for an enlarged orchestra, depicts the formal entrance of the local nobility into a lavish reception with an opening brass fanfare providing the pomp and the woodwinds the regal flourishes that embellish this work. The opera itself is based on a text from Slavic mythology around the ninth or tenth century set in a region on the Baltic Sea which was known for the daring of its warriors and their elegant white Arab steeds. Rimsky-Korsakov described this opera as“experimental” when he composed it in 1889 (the solo heroine’s role is performed by a ballerina and not sung at all) and was the first work of his to show the influence of Richard Wagner, who affected so many composers of the time. Although the opera was unsuccessful, the "Procession of Nobles" from it has been enjoyed by audiences since its first introduction and still popular today. It was even used as the theme music for a long-running show on PBS’s public affairs program, Inside Washington.
