Orchestral Example (M8) Rimsky Korsakov

Rimsky Korsakov, Tsar’s Bride

A fast and lively melody with each repetition expanding the orchestration. See what textures you can copy.

  • 8a) Violin 1 melody with string and light woodwind chords
  • 8b) Flute and clarinet melody with light pizzicato accompaniment in the strings
  • 8c) Violin 1 and flute have the tune with a tutti accompaniment (there is also some imitation in the lower woodwind – this texture would work without that)
  • 8d) Fortissimo texture with multiple doublings of melody and chords
