Polovtsian Dances from the Opera "Prince Igor", for Flute Choir and optional Piano/Harp, Percussion and SATB Choir by Alexander Borodin, arranged by José Carlos H. Alarcón. The Polovtsian Dances are a celebrated piece of classical music that forms part of Alexander Borodin's opera Prince Igor. Composed in the late 19th century, these dances are among Borodin's most famous works and are often performed as a standalone concert piece. They occur in Act II of the opera, during a scene where the Polovtsian leader, Khan Konchak, entertains Prince Igor, who has been taken captive. The dances are part of a grand spectacle designed to showcase the splendor of the Polovtsian culture.
