Sheherazade is by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and a haunting piece of music it is. All arabesques and seduction and mystery. Very Rhino.
The musical piece is based on “The Arabian Nights”, which is a great Rhino favorite. Ms. Scheherazade keeps herself busy telling stories. Rhinos love stories and story telling. We love stories today, and We loved them when We helped crank these out originally, say, a thousand years ago.
Yes, that’s right. Rhinos get around. And got around then too. Family tradition.
(Today is Rimsky-Korsakov’s birthday, but in 1844, We are told.)
