Tune of the Day: Song of India

by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, arranged for flute and piano

This famous aria is sung by the Indian guest in Scene 4 of Rimsky-Korsakov's 1896 opera Sadko.

In 1937, trombonist Tommy Dorsey recorded an instrumental jazz arrangement of this piece, which became a jazz standard.
