• Demo Recording [audio]

Based on the 1911 play by Edward Knoblock

The following Borodin music was used:

• In the Steppes of Central Asia ("Sands of Time")
• Symphony No. 2, Movement 1 ("Fate")
• "Polovtsian Dances" from Prince Igor ("Bazaar of Caravans," "Stranger in Paradise," "He's in Love," "Samaris' Dance")
• String Quartet No. 2, Movement 2 ("Baubles, Bangles and Beads"), Movement 3 ("And This Is My Beloved")
• String Quartet No. 1, Movement 4 ("Was I Wazir?")
• Symphony No. 1, Movement 4 ("Gesticulate")
• "Serenade" from the Petite Suite ("Night of My Nights")
• Act III trio from Prince Igor ("The Olive Tree")
• Aria of Vladimir Galitsky from Prince Igor ("Zubbediya")

The music for "Rhahadlakum" was not taken from Borodin. It was borrowed from a song title "I'm Going Moroccan for Johnny," which Wright and Forrest had written for a nightclub act. Several of the Borodin-derived numbers use only a melodic cell from the source music, upon which Wright and Forrest greatly expanded, while others stick more closely to the source music.
