Slovenská hudba, Vol. 49, No 4 p.416-446, 2023

Title: Ruská pieseň a hudba klasicizmu a romantizmu II
Author: Vladimír GODÁR
Abstract: The second part of the study (the first part was published in the Slovak Music revue, Vol. 49, No. 3, 2023) studies the circumstances of the origination of the astonishing cantata Polymelos, the 82nd opus by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. The cantata employs Russian national songs from the Lvov–Pratch collection. The selected songs were synthetised by Hummel with the idiom of the High Classicism and in the version of the work using German-language lyrics he created a wedding cantata out of them (thus creating the predecessor of Stravinsky’s The Wedding).
The section A Wide Slavic Coda examines the usage of quoted Russian song collections in the works by Slavic Romantic composers – Antonín Dvořák and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky’s approach was later modified by Igor Stravinsky while composing his ballet The Rite of Spring.
Keywords: Johann Nepomuk Hummel; Polymelos; Slavic music; Russian national songs
