   Extractions: Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky Russian composer Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky, b. Mar. 21 (N.S.), 1839, d. Mar. 28 (N.S.), 1881, is best known for the opera BORIS GODUNOV. Folk songs he heard as a child inspired him to improvise at the piano even before his mother started teaching him. Throughout his schooling in Saint Petersburg he studied piano with Anton Herke, developing considerable skill as a performer and improviser. He entered the Imperial Guard Cadets School in 1852 and the Preobrazhensky Regiment of Guards in 1856. During the winter of 1856-57 he attended Aleksandr Dargomyzhky's musicales, where he met Cesar Cui and Mily Balakirev. At the age of 19, an ardent idealist, Mussorgsky resigned his commission for a life of "meaningful endeavor"music. (later, he worked for some years in the civil service.) By the early 1860s, the group of composers known as The FIVEBalakirev, Cui, Mussorgsky, Aleksandr Borodin, and Nikolai RimskyKorsakovhad committed themselves to a nationalist Russian music. Mussorgsky's music is distinctly Russian, yet it rarely relies directly on folk-song quotation. Instead, characteristic elements from folk music are abstracted to synthesize an original style of melody based on formulaic figures, harmony derived from folk heterophony, and rhythm founded on the irregular patterns of certain folk genres. His concern for precise communication of personality and emotion led to a new type of vocal parlando that succeeds in reproducing the essence of Russian speech in the mouths of his operatic characters.

In 1858, Mussorgsky quit the military and devoted the rest of his life to music. He was able to financially support himself through a job as the government clerk. Most of Mussorgsky’s work was based upon Russian folk music. His songs represent the rhythms and contours of Russian Speech. Mussorgsky crowning work was Boris Godunov in 1868. Pictures at an Exhibition is another one of Mussorgsky’s best work. Saint John’s night on the Bare Mountain in 1867. The Song Cycles The Nursery in 1872, and Songs and Dances of Death in 1877.

   Extractions: Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky Date/Place of Birth:  21 March 1839 in Karevo, Pskov district Personality:  A member of 'The Mighty Handful'. Mussorgsky never received any formal musical education during his childhood. After he graduated from the Cadet School of the Imperial Guards in 1856, he joined the Preobrazhensky Imperial Life Guards. Later, he resigned and was then appointed as a clerk in the civil service. However, during his army career, he indefatigably worked out his attempt in producing masterpieces despite his lack of musical knowledge. Mussorgsky's life was generally unorganized and miserable. Being an incurable alcoholic, he found his job loathsome and tedious - therefore often sank into deep depression and degradation. His health was erratic and occasionally, he sufferred from mental disorders that were sadly inimical to his concentration in composing. However, it is undubitably not a hindrance to him. Some considered that his miserable life and drinking habit might have culminated in producing a handful of masterpieces. In conclusion, Mussorgsky is now considered as one of the most single-minded Russian composers in 19th Century.

Linked by Promenades for the visitor to the exhibition, Mussorgsky represents in music a varied collection, from the Market of Limoges and the Catacombs to the final Great Gate of Kiev, a monumental translation into music of an architectural design for a triumphal gateway.

    Extractions: Or search the encyclopaedia: Mussorgsky, Modest Petrovich Russian composer. He was a member of the group of five composers ( The Five ). His opera masterpiece Boris Godunov Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) for piano, were revised and orchestrated by others, including Rimsky-Korsakov, Ravel, and Shostakovich, and some have only recently been restored to their original harsh beauty. Mussorgsky, born in Karevo (Pskov, Russia), resigned his commission in the army in 1858 to concentrate on music while working as a government clerk. He was influenced by both folk music and literature. Among his other works are the incomplete operas Khovanshchina and Sorochintsy Fair , the orchestral Night on the Bare Mountain (1867), and many songs. He died in poverty, from alcoholism.

    http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/M/Mussorgsky/01.
    
    Extractions: Mussorgsky was largely self-taught in composition. His bold, unorthodox harmonies, based on the scales of Russian folk music, influenced later non-Russian composers. His songs, among the finest of the 19th century, reflect his desire to reproduce the rhythms and contours of Russian speech. So also does his masterpiece, the opera Boris Godunov , based on a drama by Russian author Aleksandr Pushkin (completed in 1868). Mussorgsky's other works include the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition (1874, orchestrated in 1922 by French composer Maurice Ravel
