4.On the Hills of Georgia (text by A.Pushkin)

Setting a poem by Pushkin, Na kholmakh Gruzii is the fourth song in Rimsky-Korsakov's second published set of songs from 1866. Like Vostochnïy romans from the same year, Na kholmakh Gruzii is deeply indebted to the Russian-imagined Oriental East, a land of langorously chromatic melodies, voplutously modal harmonies, and despairingly slow tempos. While not as sensually decadent as Vostochnïy romans, Na kholmakh Gruzii is as morbidly decadent as any song Mussorgsky ever wrote.
