query: when was night on bald mountain first performed

pos: Night on Bald Mountain Night on Bald Mountain Night on Bald Mountain (), also known as Night on the Bare Mountain, is a series of compositions by Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881). Inspired by Russian literary works and legend, Mussorgsky composed a "musical picture", "St. John's Eve on Bald Mountain" () on the theme of a witches' sabbath occurring on St. John's Eve, which he completed on that very night, 23 June 1867. Together with Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sadko" (1867), it is one of the first tone poems by a Russian composer. Although Mussorgsky was proud of his youthful effort, his mentor, Miliy Balakirev, refused to perform

To salvage what he considered worthy material, Mussorgsky attempted to insert his "Bald Mountain" music, recast for vocal soloists, chorus, and orchestra, into two subsequent projects—the collaborative opera-ballet "Mlada" (1872), and the opera "The Fair at Sorochyntsi" (1880). However, "Night on Bald Mountain" was never performed in any form during Mussorgsky's lifetime. In 1886, five years after Mussorgsky's death, Rimsky-Korsakov published an arrangement of the work, described as a "fantasy for orchestra." Some musical scholars consider this version to be an original composition of Rimsky-Korsakov, albeit one based on Mussorgsky's last version of the music, for "The Fair at

Premiering in Saint Petersburg in 1886, the work became a concert favourite. Half a century later, the work obtained perhaps its greatest exposure through the Walt Disney animated film "Fantasia" (1940), featuring an arrangement by Leopold Stokowski, based on Rimsky-Korsakov's version. Mussorgsky's tone poem was not published in its original form until 1968. Although still rarely performed, it has started to gain exposure and become familiar to modern audiences. The original Russian title of the tone poem, "Иванова ночь на лысой горе", translates literally as "Saint

However, due to several ambiguities, the composition is also known by a number of alternate titles in English. The Russian word "ночь" ("noch′") is literally "night" in English, but idiomatically this would refer to the night following St. John's Day, variously observed between 21 June (the summer solstice) and 25 June. The night before St. John's Day is usually referred to as "St. John's Eve" in English; Russian does not make this distinction.

The use of "bald" to describe barren landscapes is common in European languages. In French, the piece is known as ' and in Italian ' ("A Night on Bald Mountain").

In 1930, Pavel Lamm, in his edition of Mussorgsky's complete works, referred to the piece as "Worship of the Black Goat" (, "Sluzheniye chornomy kozlu"). "Mlada" was a project doomed to failure, however, and this "second version" languished along with the first. The score of "Glorification of Chernobog" has not survived, and was never published or performed. The following scenario is taken from Rimsky-Korsakov's later "magic opera-ballet" "Mlada" (1890), based on the same libretto by Viktor Krïlov. "Mlada" is set in the 9th or 10th century city of Retra, in the (formerly)

No trace of a work for piano and orchestra has survived outside Rimsky-Korsakov's recollections, so it is assumed that the score has been lost, or, more likely, that it never existed. In 1866 Mussorgsky wrote to Balakirev expressing a desire to discuss his plans for "The Witches", his informal name for his "Bald Mountain" music. In early June 1867, he began composing the orchestral version of the piece. The score is inscribed with the following details: Conceived in 1866.

Mussorgsky originally chose the end of act 1 of the opera as the location for his choral intermezzo. It is now generally performed in the Shebalin version (1930) of the opera, where it is relocated to act 3, just after the peasant lad's dumka.

Gogol's tale contains the elements of witchcraft common to other stories in the "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka" collection, but does not feature a witches' sabbath.
