Festival at Baghdad - The Sea. Allegro molto (E minor – E major) Scheherazade, also commonly Sheherazade (Russian: Шехеразада), Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888 and based on One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights). This orchestral work combines two features typical of Russian music in general and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general. The name “Scheherazade“ refers to the main character Scheherazade of the One Thousand and One Nights. It is one of Rimsky-Korsakov’s most popular works.
