hostrauser Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) The Forward Dynamics music organization from Oregon, Wisconsin, is pleased to announce the DCP-I Season XXII program for their Open Class corps... The Marauders!Unfortunately, due to a series of real-life traumas I have been unable to complete a poster for this show. I do, however, have sample/source music meticulously laid out (below). PROGRAM: "Rusalka"-- The Dance of Mystery and Intrigue from "Quest for Glory V" by Chance Thomas-- Mystic Circle of Young Girls from "The Rite of Spring" by Igor Stravinsky-- Allegro: The Chase from "The Miraculous Mandarin" by Béla Bartók-- Dancing out the Earth from "The Rite of Spring" by Igor Stravinsky-- Evening at the Village from "Hungarian Sketches" by Béla Bartók-- Buciumeana from "Romanian Folk Dances" by Béla Bartók-- Symphony No. 3, Movement III by Bohuslav Martinu-- Kossuth by Béla Bartók * Mvt. III: The Fatherland is in danger! * Mvt. VII: Come! Come! You splendid lads! You valiant Hungarian warriors! * Mvt. VIII: (no title) The rusalka is a mystic figure of Slavic mythology. She is a water-nymph or haunted spirit of a girl or woman who died too young, often violently or malevolently. While not inherently evil, a restless rusalka is known for seducing passing men and then dragging them into her lake or river to drown. The Marauders’ show is based off the play “The Rusalka” by Alexander Pushkin, left unfinished at his death. In Pushkin’s storyline a wandering prince gets a village girl pregnant and callously abandons her, and she commits suicide by throwing herself into a river. Years later the prince passes by the region again and a water-sprite appears to him. The water-sprite is the daughter of his former beloved, who is now queen of the water-sprites. The queen Rusalka has sent her daughter to meet the prince in order to take her revenge by enticing him to the bottom of the river. Source Music: -- The Dance of Mystery and Intrigue by Chance Thomas -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3eUJ27MQYsThe first ~20 seconds of this will be the front ensemble opening to our show, as the abandoned village girl throws herself into the river to drown. -- Mystic Circle of Young Girls from "The Rite of Spring" by Igor Stravinsky -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=men3LxSdfPc?t=77s (start at 1:17)Life after death at the bottom of the river. -- Allegro: The Chase from "The Miraculous Mandarin" by Béla Bartók -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OidFaXxTP6U-- Dancing out the Earth from "The Rite of Spring" by Igor Stravinsky -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0by31_MkbQI envision the start and end of the Bartok being wrapped around the Stravinsky section. Panic and angst as the other water-sprites try to convince the girl of her fate. -- Evening at the Village from "Hungarian Sketches" by Béla Bartók -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvdJSVmi404-- Buciumeana from "Romanian Folk Dances" by Béla Bartók -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BILd9Pd3QZYThe Rusalka accepts her fate and gradually rises up to become Queen of the water-sprites. I wanted a lot of Bartok to convey the eastern European/Slavic basis of the story/myth. Ironically, Anton Dvorak wrote an opera called “Rusalka”, but I didn’t find any of the music noteworthy enough to be included in the show. -- Symphony No. 3, Movement III by Bohuslav Martinu -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEWwxqfsDxk-- Kossuth by Béla Bartók -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEoBfp08Iw8The intro to the Martinu movement would be followed by movements III, VII, and VIII of Kossuth. Inspired by “Also Sprach Zarathustra”, Kossuth is an early Bartok piece that shows heavy influence of Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner. The cad Prince wanders by again only to be enticed/chased/mocked by (unbeknownst to him) his daughter. The Rusalka appears and drags him into the river for vengeance. The dark, ominous conclusion of the Martinu symphony will be the dark, ominous conclusion of the show, as the Prince disappears under the water.
