music
Music of Russia denotes music produced from Russia and/or by Russians. Russia is a large and
culturally diverse country, with many ethnic groups, each with their own locally developed music.
Russian music also includes significant contributions from ethnic minorities, who populated the
Russian Empire, the Soviet Union and modern-day Russia.
Russian music went through a long history, beginning from ritual folk songs and the sacred music of
the Russian Orthodox Church. The 19th century saw the rise of highly acclaimed Russian classical
music, and in the 20th century major contributions by various composers such as Igor Stravinsky as
well as Soviet composers, while the modern styles of Russian popular music developed, including
Russian rock, Russian hip hop and Russian pop
2.dance
Russian folk dance (Russian: Русский народный танец) is an important part of Russian culture.
Some of the unique characteristics suggest that many elements were developed by the early
Russian population.
Many Russian dances became known from the 10th century. Russia witnessed various invasions
from other countries. Due to its location and size the country also came into contact with many
different cultures through migration and trading. In turn, a Eurasian cultural mix of music and dance
[1]
helped develop Russian folk dances.
Many of these early dances were performed and practiced by the lower classes. Typically the upper
classes would watch performers rather than participate in the dances themselves.
The original Russian folk dance traditions continue to play an important part in the culture of the
[2]
country and have been in constant interaction with Russia’s many ethnic groups. Russian folk
[3]
dances are also in interrelations with other types of artistic expressions. One example can be seen
in the Ballets Russes, which invokes Russian folk dances and music in its pieces.
