About: Aleksandr Borodin was a Russian composer in the Romanti c Era, most known for his symphonies, string quartets and his opera Prince Igor. His father was Prince Luka Gedevanishvili, but his mother Evdokia Konstantinovna Antonova was a peasant. Because his birth was illegitimate, he was given the surname Borodin, after one of his father’s other serfs. However, Borodin was provided an education comparable to legitimate noble children, with tutors for foreign languages and music lessons. Borodin went on to become a doctor of medicine and a professor of chemistry, as well as one of The Mighty Five, a group of the five Russian composers who worked together to create a distinctly Russian style for formal music. Borodin composed Hélène-Polka in 1843, when he was only ten years old. The polka is a Czech dance that was originally limi ted to the peasant population, but quickly became popular with the upper class as well. Hélène-Polka is in 2/4 time, which i s typical of the dance style. The piece is in ternary form, with the main theme beginning and ending the piece. here are pronounced off-beats in the harmony parts accompanyi ng the main theme, giving the dance a light and bouncy feel. The middle section contrasts this with more connected accompaniment and less pronunciation of the off-beats, giving the main emphasis to the notes that fall on the beat. The last statement of the mai n theme is embellished, adding new harmonies and extending the theme to give the piece a strong ending. DURATION: 2'33" Scan to let the composer
