Chorus and Dance of the Polovetsian Maidens from Act II Alexander Borodin wrote the Opera, Prince Igor. It is possibly his greatest and boldest work with many beautiful melodies coming forth, especially the Chorus and Dance of the Polovetsian Maidens from Act II. The music has an mysterious Eastern sound which is very captivating. There is nothing like this written for the Euphonium and Mr. Sauer’s arrangement is wonderful. This work is about 7 minutes in length for advanced performers.
