Program Notes
The Russian Sailors’ Dance is the best-known excerpt from Reinhold Glière score for the 1927 ballet The Red Poppy. The ballet portrays an uprising on a Chinese ship where visiting Russian sailors, sympathetic to the cruel treatment of the labourers, successfilly intervene. Glière based the Russian Sailor’s Dance on the popular Russian folk tune titled Yablochka, which means little apple. This arrangement, by David Bobrowitz, has a series of variations on Glière's theme that pick up speed and intensity.
