1-Minute music notes:

  • Alexander Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances has been used widely in popular culture, including being adapted into the 1953 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, Kismet and was featured in 2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Sochi.

  • Darius Milhaud’s Scaramouche features incidental music that he composed for two plays: Molière’s Le Médecin volant (The Flying Doctor)—where Scaramouche gets its name after the acting troupe named who performed the play, Theater Scaramouche—and Jules Supervielle’s opera, Bolivar.

  • John Williams’ 1960s jazz-inspired score for Catch Me If You Can was turned into the suite, Escapades, which he premiered as part of the 205th anniversary concert of the United States Marine Band in 2003 conducted by Williams himself.

  • Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances was his only piece written in its entirety while living in the United States and is remarkable for its use of the alto saxophone as a solo instrument
