Composer Alexander Litvinovsky worked on the suite ‘Pelléas and Mélisande’ in the summer of 2021. His score became the embodiment of the figurative content of the play of the same name by the classic of Belgian literature Maris Maeterlinck. At one time, Alexander Litvinovsky wrote music for the theatrical performance 'Pelléas and Melisande'. The successful artistic result inspired a new idea: on the basis of this musical material the composer decided to create a suite for a string orchestra. However, the deepening into the symbolism of Maeterlinck's play led Alexander Litvinovsky to the need to carefully rework the finished numbers, expand the dramatic context and, in fact, write a new, independent orchestral work.
In the history of ‘Pelléas da Mélisande’ there is a lot of mystical, encrypted, unsaid. The fictional kingdom of Alemond exists outside of a certain era, outside of reality and time. The strange and infantile characters in the play live in their own temporal dimension. The events are driven not by the actions of the heroes, but by their reflections, spontaneous impressions, reasoning, exchange of emotions, clarification of relationships.
The orchestral embodiment of the imaginative world of such a drama demanded professional ingenuity and virtuoso skill from the composer, who strove to avoid monotony and static in the new suite. He embodied in music an active internal plot, gave dynamism, alternating tempos and rhythms, timbre nuances, sound colors of modes, tonalities, creating an amazing theatricality of effective episodes and a genre variety of ancient dances.
The author of the suite 'Pelléas and Mélisande' does not seek to experiment with the latest musical techniques, he is interested in maximizing the singing nature of string instruments, the beauty of sound recording, which helps to reveal the emotional purity of the images of the embodied plot. And connoisseurs of Alexander Litvinovsky's work will recognize his bright, attractive author's style, which combines elements of baroque, romantic and postmodern music.

I never even heard of Litvinovsky until I was introduced to his compositions through HalidonMusic. I'm so glad I was -- it was like making a new friend.
Thank you very much for sharing his music with us all.
I totally agree with you and I join myself to your gratitude
🙂
This is an EXCELLENT collection! The title of each individual selection is very evocative of their mood and content. Alexander Litvinovsky is a modern genius, without a doubt.
Thank you ever so much Halidon Music for sharing this with the world!
Спасибо Вам за прекрасную музыку.С уважением и благодарностью из Беларуси.Всех благ каналу добра!!!
Большое спасибо, мы надеемся, что эти произведения Александра Литвиновского понравятся вам так же, как и нам 🙏
Navire Dans la Tempête is my absolute favorite piece out of this album. It's just so fun and upbeat, so perilous and mysterious, I love it! I discovered the piece through your Classical Music For Villains playlist, and it just- SCREAMED one of my characters. This song also gives me a really nice nautical feel that pairs extremely well with the rest of the suite and absolutely stands out in a nice way. The piece also pairs fantastically with many aspects of my Fantasy Worldbuilding project, and whenever I need a bit of extra fuel to imagine stuff for it, I turn the piece on and just listen!
One of the many scenarios I can imagine with the song is just- a Royal Ball with many in attendance. The recently married heirs to the Kingdom's Throne take interest in the song as it gets played, leading to a fast-paced, fun journey to the Orchestral Stage involving leaps on tables, runs across lines of guards, trips up and down beautiful spiral staircases, and the two propelling eachother across the way, all just to get the name of the song and where to get the sheet music. That's kind of what I'm about to do IRL, that's how much that part of the suite means to me. Litvinovsky hit the nail on the board with this one, and I hope he makes more stunning suites and pieces like this in the future!
Clearly the *ahem* 'inspiration' for the main Pirates of the Caribbean theme...
@@enigmagenesis7341 Responding late but what is up with the tone here? Plus, are people not allowed to be inspired by more famous works anymore?
THIS IS SO PRETTY! It transports me to a fantasy world of fairytales. Without a doubt my favorite movement is Procession du crepuscule.
'Procession du Crepuscule' is a haunting piece. Having only glanced at the opera synopsis for context, I'd love to understand this part's meaning more deeply.
Enjoying Alexander Litvinovsky's music again ! Wonderful ! Thank you , Halidonmusic ! 👍
That's wonderful ViktorS, thank you so much! We were very excited when Litvinovsky's new suite came out (and we still are to be honest), so it's great to hear that you enjoy it!
Thank you halidon for introducing me to this Alexander litvinovsky this is the first time I herad his music and to tell the truth iam very impressed he will be part of my Chopin and Erik Erik satie list thank you so much halidon for expanding my knowledge in the world of music , I have also a request for you and i hope to consider it i want you to put Philippe class clock work idont know its name cause i hear it once and i really like it i hope to hear it again in one of your play list 🥰
You mean Philip Glass? He's done amazing work, loads and loads. I think Litvinovsky is influenced by by him too, as I hear elements of Philip Glass in his 'Tales of the Magic Tree', which is also gorgeous, don't miss that one!
@@agemoth thank you soo much I will definitely check it 🥰
Vielen herzlichen Dank für die wunderschöne Musik🙏❤🙏. Ich bin in Liebe und Dankbarkeit.🙏❤🙏. Liebe Grüße und Gottes reichen Segen.🙏🙏🙏🙋♀
Ja Wunderbar und dazu die Bildreihen in der Natur vollenden die Kunst !
@@loki7641 Ja Loki, die Bildreihe ist wunderschön. Danke dafür♥🌟♥🙋
I would like to congratulate Litvinovsky on that transition from the Shadows in the Garden to the Duel of Jealousy. The abrupt ending right before the dramatic opening of the sword-fight sounds like a sincere scene in the garden was shattered by a spontaneous duelist charging out from the shadows. I quite like a good sword-fight so for the story to end in one is simply magnificent. Very whimsical and lovely overall. Each piece just becomes more charming with every listen.
This is just… beautiful. Thank you.
So glad you think so GoldenMagnolia, thank you very much for listening! If you'd like to hear more music by Alexander Litvinovsky we recommend his suites "Tales of the Magic Tree" and "Le Grand Cahier" 😊 We'll link them for you below:

Mulțumesc Halidon pentru imaginile superbe ce ilustrează această muzică minunața! ❤🥰

Right? We really can't get enough of it 😍 Thank you very much for listening! More music by Litvinovsky can be found on CZcams or on Spotify :)
Chapeau! Alexander LITVINOVSKY's works for string orchestra continue to amaze me. By far my favourite modern classical composer. Thank you HALIDONMUSIC! Greetings from Romania
This was really nice. I had heard a few selections here on Halidon, but this was nice to have a complete suite. Music like this shows me how many film score composers take inspiration from classical music like this. It also inspired me to read about the opera itself.
I heard "Steps in the castle" in some mix a few days ago and I was like "wow, this is really really good". But then I couldn't find it again. I am glad to find this whole collection, I have heard some of his other stuff in your other mixes and he always to be almost unknown, a hidden gem. I am glad to see all these channels skiing the good work of spreading word of this excellent music.
it's great to be immersed in this relaxing music.. all my fatigue seems to disappear and now it's just relaxing💖💖💖
Que obra linda! Sensível e tocante. Muito obrigada, Halidon! Vocês são muito especiais e queridos, para mim 🌷💛💖
É sempre uma alegria saber que você aprecia nossa música Mari, isso realmente significa muito para nós e não podemos agradecer o suficiente pelo seu apoio. Esperamos que você tenha um dia maravilhoso! 🌼💌

Teşekkürler, Litvinovsky'nin yeni yaylılar paketini beğendiğinizi bilmek bir zevk 🤩
I have heard 'Navir dans la tempete' in another playlist on your channel, and I absolutely loved it, and now I am listening to this suite and I love it more and more! I shall certainly look up the story told through this music, but as it happens, I am currently reading 'The Count of Monte Cristo', and this music is a perfect match to an epic revenge tale! Thank you!
That's wonderful to hear, we're so happy that you took the time to listen to the entire suite and that it fit the atmosphere of the classic you're reading! Litvinovsky deserves all the recognition for his amazing work 🙌 We also recommend checking out his other two suites as well!

Estamos muito felizes que você tenha gostado da nova suíte de Litvinovsky, obrigado! Desejamos um ótimo final de semana 🌺💜
Ainda bem que eles existem - Litvinovscky é um dos maiores talentos contemporâneos. Eu também passei a conhecer através da publicação que eles estão fazendo dos trabalhos dele. Tudo que ele faz é absolutamente encantador, mescla a precisão do classicismo com uma atmosfera tonal emocional muito forte, espero que eles compartilhem a obra completa do mestre, ele precisa ser reconhecido - fiquei imaginando uma trilha sonora de um filme épico fantástico com a composição dele, seria algo impressionante.
언제나 감사합니다.
우리는 항상 당신의 지원에 감사드립니다. 들어주셔서 감사합니다!
Litvinovsky es de lo más maravillosos que he oído en mi vida. No sabéis lo agradecida que estoy a HalidonMusic por introducirme al arte de tan maravilloso compositor.

Quelle musique sublime qui M ' apaise et me détend
Grand merci HALIDONMUSIC
Nous sommes très contents que tu apprecies la nouvelle suite pour orchestre de Litvinovsky, Marthe! Merci pour l'écoute 💌
Thank you all so much for what you do. I’m usually getting in my car to go to work when I get the notification for your videos. You all are my favorite part of my drive to work.
I must confess…I was very worried this upload was an April Fools prank. Very happy it wasn’t !
Oh dear, can you imagine? We don't really do anything for April Fools, but now that we think of it maybe we could have uploaded something like "The Worst Classical Music Pieces" just to see how people would react 😂 Jokes aside, thank you very much for your lovely words, we appreciate them so much. It's a pleasure to know our playlists keep you company while you drive to work!
Thanks for the wonderful music, music is eternal!

@@HALIDONMUSIC Thank you very much, I'll take a look
It's the perfect intro theme for my new tale. Great
Buonasera, devo ringraziarvi non solo per la possibilità di ascoltare questa meravigliosa musica. Oggi ho fatto una scoperta: ho saputo chi è il compositore Litvinovsky, di cui musica mi incanta da un po di tempo. È il mio connazionale, stiamo dalla stessa città di Minsk ed è mio quasi coetaneo. È un genio! Capace di consolare anche lui i cuori frantumati. Grazie, HALIDONMUSIC!❤
Ciao Gianna, grazie mille per il tuo messaggio, ci ha fatto molto piacere leggerlo! Litvinovsky è un compositore fantastico e qui in Halidon Music ammiriamo tutti molto la sua musica, che è tra le nostre preferite. E' sicuramente un grande orgoglio sapere che provenite dalla stessa città! 🥰
❤❤❤
soo nice 😍
Happy you enjoy it, thank you very much! More music by Alexander Litvinovsky can be found here on CZcams or on Spotify if you'd like to give it a listen 😊
I love this post. Thank you for sharing. It is really enjoyable. God bless you and Litvinovsky

Thanks, Halidon Music!

Never have I been more jealous a composer wrote such beautiful and exciting pieces when, as a French Horn player, I cannot play them with my orchestra. Nonetheless, I will still ask our conductor if our strings could play at least parts of this. I'd love to hear that in a good concert hall and just sink into the sounds.
The Procession du Crepuscule (13:33) is just amazing. :)
Amazing, i love this so much!!
We couldn't be happier to hear it! Have you got a favourite piece? (Tough question, we know). What did you think of Litvinovsky's other two suites for string orchestra? If you haven't listened to them yet we definitely recommend checking them out ✨
Le Grand Cahier: czcams.com/video/PHmqZ5wo5pE/video.html
Tales of the Magic Tree: czcams.com/video/IvO__uNG3ew/video.html
Nice :>
Thank you so much Filip! 😊
I used the 2nd song on here for the soundtrack to the book I'm writing. It's my heroine tiptoeing around and conniving to get her own way.
Breathtaking!
Isn't it just? We swear Litvinovsky has magic, because his compositions are always spellbinding 😍✨ What did you think of his two other suites "Le Grand Cahier" and "Tales of the Magic Tree"?
great album!
Very happy to hear you appreciate it, thanks! If you haven't checked them out yet, we also recommend listening to:
'Le Grand Cahier' 👉 czcams.com/video/PHmqZ5wo5pE/video.html and
'Tales of the Magic Tree' 👉 czcams.com/video/IvO__uNG3ew/video.html
Is there a more beautiful 1st movement anywhere? Rhetorical question, but this is tear-evoking beauty.
Makes ones heart yearn...
Captivating. ❣️🇨🇦
So happy you enjoy Litvinovsky's new suite Roberta, thank you! (Also, it's good to see you again, hope you're doing fine 🌺)
@Halidon, or anyone else, what is the name of the classical "period" we are in now, and when did it start?
It is completely unrelated to this video but I wondered why in the music theme collections Wagner is always absent and was heartbroken to see that the "best of Wagner" by Halidonmusic disappeared. Anyone knows why?
It is a faire question , because I love Wagner !
22:29 VIII. Menuet. Sous la fenêtre de la tour (Minuet. Under the tower window) is especially remarkable.
good
I was listening to your “Music for Writing” yesterday, and “X: Les ombres dan le jardin” was so beautiful and touching that I had to look it up and find out more about it.
I love that this is what you put up today!
lindo. obrigada por me apresentar

Incredible. I would like to get this on Compact Disc.
It's a great pleasure to hear that you enjoy the suite, Clarence! It's currently only available in MP3 format on our official store if you'd like to purchase it: bit.ly/3uwPvZi
Would this music piece be adapted into piano adaptation?
Really like this
YAY! 06:52 III. Galliard. Navire dans la tempête. Pirates of the Caribbean! Drink Up Me Hearties Yo Ho! so similar!
That's one of my personal favourites, it's such an exciting piece! Thank you for listening, Robert. -Flavia
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad story😢
why does "Ship in a storm" reminds me of the soundtrack of pirates of the caribbean?? sounds nearly the same to me...
@HALIDONMUSIC is this available on vinyl somewhere? Would love to hear this off vinyl.
AMAZING WORK! I would love to program this with my extremely talented youth orchestra. Is this available for purchase/rental??
Thank you so much for your interest, Kristofer! Our sales team has been in touch so please refer to them for any further inquiry 😊
It is so beautiful, a shame it ended so quickly
Will it be available on vinyl?
I think "la chasse commence" would translate better as "the hunt begins", or even just "the chase begins". "Hunt" better gives the context though. "Hunting", especially in the US implies what in the UK is called "deer stalking", where a single person goes out and tries to get close enough to shoot the game. "The hunt" implies horses and hounds, pursuing the game. "La chasse" is "the chase" with the same meaning as "the hunt".
Who is Golaud and who is Pelleas ? Golaud married Melisande and loved Pelleas.
Get a part of the picture : Melisande (me) but the other two ?????
So are you actually an official distributor of music then? Like you pay the correct fees to the owners of the music and keep part for your work finding an audience? Because I see you selling albums, but I also see you talking about your videos being copyright struck. I imagine that a channel on your scale would have a hard time just stealing music and selling it as your own. Not to mention that at that scale it would just seem somewhat wrong to deprive the owners of their rightful returns.
