Description:
Russsian composer Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov is mainly known from the orchestral suite 'Caucasian Sketches', which includes the much-excerpted 'Procession of the Sardar'. But even as interesting is his 'Turkish Fragments', an orchestral suite in four movements for large orchestra.
All of the movements use material drawn from Azerbaijani, Turkish, Uzbek and Kazakh folk music. 'Caravan' (1) has a steady ambitious beat and a characteristic Turkish melody that goes on for the entire piece. 'At Rest' (2) is rhythmic but tranquil, with a central section of a livelier nature. 'Night' (3) is a peaceful, more quiet part and respects its name. 'Festival' (4) closes this suite. It consists of a dance, sounds upbeat and at times peaceful.
