Scheherazade, also commonly Sheherazade (Russian: ????????´??, tr.
Shekherazáda, IPA: [??x??r?’zad?]), Op. 35, is a symphonic suite composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888 and based on One Thousand and One Nights (also known as The Arabian Nights).[1]
This orchestral work combines two features typical of Russian music and of Rimsky-Korsakov in particular: dazzling, colorful orchestration and an interest in the East, which figured greatly in the history of Imperial Russia, as well as orientalism in general.
The name ˝Scheherazade˝ refers to the main character Shahrazad of the One Thousand and One Nights.
It is considered Rimsky-Korsakov’s most popular work
