V. Vakula and the Slippers
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Christmas Eve Suite is a collection of music from his opera of the same name. The opera was composed between 1894 and 1895. The orchestral suite of the opera was composed in 1904 and consists of the introduction to the opera ('Holy Night'), Flight of Vakula, moon and stars, Polonaise, and return flight of Vakula and Christmas morning bells. Rimsky-Korsakov based his opera on a short story, "Christmas Eve", from Nikolai Gogol's 1832 collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka. The story takes place in the Ukrainian village of Dikanka where the blacksmith, Wakula, is in love with the daughter of a landowner, Oksana. Oksana will only marry him on the condition that he gets her the Tsarina’s golden shoes. In desperation, Wakula turns to the devil to fly him to the capital and help him procure the shoes. This movement takes place during Act III, Tableau 8, Scene 1: Vperod, vperod, moy kon'! of the original opera and includes the chorus during the 6/8 sections and the ending chorale. The recording with the chorus can be found by searching for the specific scene from the opera.About the Arrangement
