Act III. The Wedding Raymonda's and Jean's wedding day. In honor of Andrei II of Hungary, the guests perform Hungarian dances. Is that all? Yes, as far as the plot is concerned. But then there is Petipa's ingenious choreography and that's exactly what makes classical ballet so very attractive to us, inhabitants of the third millennium, well over a century after the great choreographer took his last repose at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St. Petersburg, Russia. |

Заголовок сообщения: | Polyphony in Raymonda |
I always wondered what exactly sets music of JS Bach apart from that of any other composer? Somehow it’s richer, fuller, more complex if you will. Take any of his concerti or suites - you can listen to it hundreds of times and still hear something new. Later, in my Music Appreciation course 101 I discovered that there is a name for this "something" - polyphony. Just like music of Bach, Petipa’s choreography is polyphonic. And right away comes to mind his sublime Kingdom of the Shades where corps-de-ballet not merely serves as a background and not just dances in unison (that would be monophony), but has its own separate tune, similar yet different, sometimes couple of choreographic “notes” higher, sometimes lower, sometimes falling a step behind, and sometimes rushing it forward, and at times it moves to a new direction all together. In Raymonda's Hungarian Grand pas de deux, Petipa takes this form to a new level. I watch in awe... sheer mathematical brilliance of his choreographic thought, both serene and vibrating with genuine passion. Behold Grand Pas parade: |
