Scheherazade, by Rimsky-Korsakoff


The music used in this presentation is from Scheherazade, by Russian
composer Rimsky-Korsakoff. He wrote the music after reading “Tales of
the Arabian Nights.”
In this story, the Sultan’s wife tries to take over his kingdom and have him
killed. The Sultan finds out about the plan and sends his wife away. Since
he never wants this to happen again he decides each of his new wives will
live for only one night.
Scheherazade


One of the women chosen by the Sultan to be his wife
is named Scheherazade. She is smart and beautiful.
She tells such wonderful stories that the Sultan can’t
wait to hear the ending and the next story--stories
about the adventures of Sinbad, Aladdin and the Magic
Oil Lamp, and the Flying Carpet.
Scheherazade

But Scheherazade is
careful to stop the
story each morning
just before the
ending, so the
Sultan has to wait
to hear what
happens the next
night. This goes on
for 1001 nights,
after which the
Sultan loves and
trusts Scheherazade
and allows her to
live.
Scheherazade, by Rimsky-Korsakoff

The stories have been around for thousands
of years and are so popular that they have
even been made into movies like this one.
The music used in this game is from the first
movement: The Sea and Sinbad’s Ship.
The first music heard is the powerful &
threatening theme of the Sultan, played by
the brass instruments.
The music you hear each time you answer
correctly is the beautiful theme describing
Scheherazade, played on a violin.
