Program Notes
Around the year 1896, Russian composer Alexander Alexandrovich Ilyinsky wrote an orchestral suite called Noure et Anitra. It was from this work that he borrowed his lullaby Berceuse. Originally scored for harp and strings by Ilyinsky, it is here scored for concert band. Ilyinsky's lush melodies unfold over a relentless stream of arpeggiated eighth notes.
- Program Note from Wakeland High School Wind Symphony concert program, 17 December 2021
This lullaby from Alexander Alexandrovich Ilyinsky's orchestral suite has a truly unique pentatonic sound that gives it a wide appeal. There is a push and pull between lighter verdant scenes and thicker, darker-sounding textures.
