El vuelo del moscardón ? Il volo del calabrone ? Hummelflug -
"Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude
written by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov for his opera ?The
Tale of Tsar Saltan?, composed in 1899?1900. The piece
closes Act III, Tableau 1, during which the magic
Swan-Bird changes Prince Gvidon Saltanovich (the Tsar's
son) into an insect so that he can fly away to visit
his father (who does not know that he is alive).
What a great arrangement! I can't wait to show this arrangement to my string group. Our local orchestra has just started to find its' groove in this small community. This song, I'm sure, will be a favorite of the musicians and the listeners alike. As a new orchestra conductor, I appreciate all the help I can get finding good music. This is a resource I shall visit frequently. Thank you for making this available.
