P. I. Tchaikovsky and His Music

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840—1893) is one of the most important figures in the history of music. He wrote some of the best-loved melodies of all times. His ballet music is some of the happiest and most tuneful music ever written.

By the end of his life, in the late 19th century Tchaikovsky was known as the greatest living compos­er. However, at the beginning of his career, his compo­sitions were not always well received. Tchaikovsky's music, which is so popular today, was at the time con­sidered to be very modern and different. Some people thought it was too sentimental and emotional. But audiences everywhere came to love Tchaikovsky's mu­sical style which was full of feeling and could excite them.

Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk, Russia, in 1840. Young Peter showed an early interest in music. He was given piano lessons at the age of five and very soon he learned to play better than his teacher. His mother died when he was fourteen, he felt unhappy and began to compose music which helped him. At the age of twenty-three he became a full-time student at St. Petersburg Conservatory. He graduated from it and was offered a post at the Moscow Conservatory, where he taught for the next twelve years. Then he de­voted himself to composing.

His music was often inspired by Russian folk tunes and includes some of the world's best-loved melodies such as the "Romeo and Juliet Fantasy Overture" and his "First Piano Concerto". His ballets — "Swan Lake", "Sleeping Beauty", and the "Nutcracker" — are still among the most popular ballets.

Between 1888 and 1893 Tchaikovsky visited Europe and the USA conducting his own works. In 1893 he conducted the first performance of his Sixth Sympho­ny. He called it the "Pathetique" (full of feeling), say­ing, "It is based on so much emotion and feeling that when I composed this work I found myself crying."

Tchaikovsky considered this to be his greatest compo­sition; it was also his last. Less than two weeks later he was dead.

(Karen and Alice May wood)

Come with me to Pasadena,

Today at ten we will arrive.

I have been in Pasadena

For a great deal of my life.

Refrain:

Come with me to Pasadena

If you want to have some fun.

Watch the dancing seniorinas

In the heat of the sun.

When I woke up today

I heard someone say,

"Girl, it's raining

And they're expecting snow."

And it's morning I knew

What I had to do

Take the next plane

And finally go.

Refrain.
