String Orchestra - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1191148 Composed by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Arranged by Ryuichi Horikoshi. 19th Century. Score and Parts. 12 pages. R1音楽ä¼ç”»å®¤ #790662. Published by R1音楽ä¼ç”»å®¤ (A0.1191148). July (Song of the Reapers) is an intact depiction of a summer farming scene in the piano collection The Four Seasons, Op 37a. The piano collection The Four Seasons (originally titled Les Saisons) is known as a collection of 12 piano pieces, one for each month, depicting the customs of the Russian year. To me, as the arranger, it seems to strongly reflect scenes from the composer's own homeland, Ukraine.Tchaikovsky's Ukrainian roots are not surprising. Tchaikovsky's surname was changed from Chaika (Чайка: a traditional Ukrainian surname meaning seagull) by his grandfather, and his family originated from the Chaika family of Ukrainian Cossacks who had a territory in what is now Poltava Oblast.
