Firebird Infernal Dance by Stravinsky

We have been learning about the Firebird ballet, based on a Russian folk tale, with music composed by Igor Stravinsky. Listen closely to for the theme of the evil lord Katschei, with this long fingernails, as well as the theme of the firebird dancing and flying in the sky. Also listen for the theme of the demons, and Prince Ivan, who refuses to look in the eyes of Katschei, as he does not want Katschei to turn him into stone.
