Night on bald mountain by modest mussorgsky (arr. by nikolai rimsky-korsakov)
the first musical version of ‘night on bald mountain’ was in the form of a tone poem, an orchestral work which evokes a specific poem, painting or landscape. mussorgsky completed the tone poem in 1867, however due to pressure from his mentor miliy balakirev, mussorgsky never organised a performance.
the more famous version of ‘night on bald mountain’ was arranged by fellow composer and friend to mussorgsky, nikolai rimsky-korsakov in 1886.
