Peter and the Wolf (Russian:Петя и волк,romanized:Pétya i volk,IPA:[ˈpʲetʲəivolk]) Op. 67, a "symphonic tale for children", is a programmaticmusical composition written bySergei Prokofiev in 1936. The narrator tells a Russian folk tale, which theorchestra illustrates by using different instruments to play a "theme" that represents each character in the story.

Background

[edit]

In 1936, Prokofiev was commissioned byNatalya Sats, the director of theCentral Children's Theatre in Moscow, to write a musicalsymphony for children. Sats and Prokofiev had become acquainted after he visited her theatre with his sons several times.[1] The intent was to introduce children to the individual instruments of the orchestra to enjoy music and learn to recognize musical keys.

The first draft of thelibretto was about aYoung Pioneer called Peter who rights a wrong by challenging an adult. However, Prokofiev was dissatisfied with the rhyming text produced byNina Sakonskaya [ru] (real name Antonia Pavlovna Sokolovskaya, 1896–1951), a then-popular children's author. Prokofiev wrote a libretto in which Peter and his animal friends capture a wolf. As well as promoting desired Pioneer virtues such as vigilance, bravery, and resourcefulness, the plot illustrates Soviet themes such as the stubbornness of the un-Bolshevik older generation (the grandfather) and the triumph of Man (Peter) taming Nature (the wolf).[2]

Prokofiev produced a version for thepiano in under a week, finishing it on April 15. The orchestration was finished on April 24. The work premiered at a children's concert in the main hall of theMoscow Conservatory with theOrchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society [ru] on 2 May 1936. However, Sats was ill, the substitute narrator was inexperienced, and the performance attracted little attention.[1][3][4][5] Later that month, a more successful performance with Sats narrating was given at the MoscowPioneers Palace. The American premiere took place in March 1938, with Prokofiev conducting theBoston Symphony Orchestra atSymphony Hall, Boston, and withRichard Hale narrating. By that time, Sats was serving a sentence in thegulag, where she was sent after her lover, MarshalMikhail Tukhachevsky, was shot in June 1937.[6]

Synopsis

[edit]

Peter, a youngSovietpioneer,[7][2] lives at his grandfather's home in aforest clearing. One day, Peter goes out into the clearing, leaving the garden gate open, and aduck that lives in the yard takes the opportunity to swim in a pond nearby. The duck and abird argue over whether a bird should be able to swim or fly. A localcat stalks them quietly, and the bird—warned by Peter—flies to safety in a tall tree while the duck swims to safety in the middle of the pond.

Peter's grandfather scolds him for staying outside and playing in the meadow alone, because awolf might attack him. When Peter shows defiance, believing he has nothing to fear from wolves, his grandfather takes him back into the house and locks the gate. Soon afterwards, a ferocious wolf comes out of the forest. The cat quickly climbs into the tree with the bird, but the duck, who has jumped out of the pond, is chased, overtaken, and swallowed by the beast.

Seeing all of this from inside, Peter fetches a rope and climbs over the garden wall into the tree. He asks the bird to fly around the beast's head to distract him, while he lowers a noose and catches the wolf by his tail. The beast struggles to get free, but Peter ties the rope to the tree and the noose only gets tighter.

Hunters who have been tracking the wolf come out of the forest with theirguns readied, but Peter gets them to instead help him take it to azoo in a victory parade (the piece was first performed for an audience of Young Pioneers duringMay Day celebrations) that includes himself, the bird, the hunters leading the wolf, the cat, and lastly his grumbling Grandfather, still disappointed that Peter ignored his warnings, but proud that his grandson caught the beast.

At the end, the narrator states that careful listeners could hear the duck still quacking inside the wolf's belly, because he was swallowed whole.

Performance directions

[edit]

Prokofiev produced detailed performance notes in English and Russian. According to the English version:

Each character of this tale is represented by a corresponding instrument in the orchestra: the bird by a flute, the duck by an oboe, the cat by a clarinet playing staccato in a low register, the grandfather by a bassoon, the wolf by three horns, Peter by the string quartet, the shooting of the hunters by the kettle drums and bass drum. Before an orchestral performance it is desirable to show these instruments to the children and to play on them the corresponding leitmotivs. Thereby, the children learn to distinguish the sounds of the instruments during the performance of this tale.[8]

Peter and the Wolf is scored for an orchestra:[9]

Each character in the story has a particular instrument andmusical theme:[10]

Bird

Recordings

[edit]

Jeremy Nicholas wrote for classical music magazineGramophone in 2015, claiming that the best overall recording ofPeter and the Wolf was by theNew Philharmonia Orchestra, narrated byRichard Baker and conducted byRaymond Leppard in 1971.Gramophone's best DVD version is the2006 film bySuzie Templeton; its music is performed, without narrator, by the Philharmonia Orchestra conducted byMark Stephenson.[12]

Adaptations

[edit]

Walt Disney, 1946

[edit]
Main article:Peter and the Wolf (1946 film)
Disney's 1946 animated short

Prokofiev, while touring the West in 1938, visitedLos Angeles and metWalt Disney. Prokofiev performed the piano version for "le papa deMickey Mouse" (French for "Mickey Mouse's dad"), as Prokofiev described him in a letter to his sons. Disney was impressed, and considered adding an animated version ofPeter and the Wolf toFantasia, which was to be released in 1940. Due toWorld War II, these plans fell through, and it was not until 1946 that Disney released his adaptation, narrated bySterling Holloway. It is not known whether Prokofiev, who was by that point behind theIron Curtain, was aware of this.[22] It was released theatrically as a segment ofMake Mine Music, then reissued the next year, accompanying a reissue ofFantasia (as ashort subject), then separately onhome video in the 1990s.[23] This version made several changes to the original, including:

  • During the character introduction, the pets are given names: Sasha the songbird, Sonia the duck, and Ivan the cat.
  • As the production begins, Peter and his friends already know that a wolf is nearby and are preparing to catch him.
  • The hunters get names later in the story: Misha, Yasha, and Vladimir.
  • Peter daydreams of hunting and catching the wolf, and for that purpose exits the garden carrying a woodenpop gun.
  • At the end, in a reversal of the original (and to make the story more child-friendly), the narrator reveals that Sonia hadnot been eaten by the wolf. Earlier in the film, the wolf is shown chasing Sonia, who hides in a tree's hollow trunk. The wolf attacks out of view and returns in view with feathers in his mouth, licking his jaws. Peter, Ivan, and Sasha assume Sonia has been eaten. After the wolf is caught, Sasha is shown mourning Sonia. She comes out of the tree trunk at that point, and they are happily reunited.

In 1957, for one of his television programs, Disney recalled how Prokofiev had visited, inspiring Disney's animated version. Disney used pianistIngolf Dahl, who resembled Prokofiev, to re-create how the composer had played the themes from the score.[24][25]

British–Polish co-production, 2006

[edit]

In 2006,Suzie Templeton andHugh Welchman directed and produced, respectively, a stop-motionanimated adaptation. It is unusual in its lack of dialogue or narration. The story was told only via images and music and interrupted by sustained periods of silence. The soundtrack was performed by thePhilharmonia Orchestra, The film premiered with a live accompaniment in theRoyal Albert Hall.[26] The film won the Annecy Cristal and the Audience Award at the 2007Annecy International Animated Film Festival,[27] and the 2007Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film. This version makes some changes to the original Prokofiev story, including:

  • Peter bumps into one of the "hunters" (teenage bullies in this telling), who throws him in a rubbish bin and aims at him with his rifle to scare him; the second hunter watches without interfering (thus, a dislike towards the hunter/bullies is immediately created).
  • Because of a broken wing, the bird has trouble flying and takes Peter's balloon to help it get aloft.
  • Peter captures the wolf in a net and then the hunter gets him in his rifle's sight coincidentally, but just before shooting, the second hunter stumbles, falls on him and makes him miss the shot.
  • The caged wolf is brought into the village on a cart, where Peter's grandfather tries to sell it. The hunter comes to the container and sticks his rifle in to intimidate the animal (as he did with Peter earlier on). At that time Peter throws the net on the hunter, entangling the hunter.
  • Before the grandfather has made a deal, Peter unlocks the cart after looking into the eyes of the wolf. They walk side by side through the awestruck crowd and then the freed wolf runs away in the direction of the silver moon shining over the forest.

Up to 1959

[edit]
  • In 1958, a videotaped television special entitledArt Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf, starringCarney, along with theBil Baird Marionettes, was presented by theAmerican Broadcasting Company, and was successful enough to be twice rebroadcast. The show had an original storyline in which Carney interacted with talking marionette animals, notably the troublemaking wolf. This first half was presented as a musical, with adapted music fromLieutenant Kijé and other Prokofiev works that had English lyrics fitted to them. The program then segued into a complete performance ofPeter and the Wolf, performed as written by the composer, and "mimed" by both "human" and "animal" marionettes. The conclusion featured Carney interacting with the animal marionettes. The show was nominated for threeEmmy Awards.[28]

1960s

[edit]

1980s

[edit]
  • Ray Bolger served as the narrator for a 1981 live-action version with live animals, directed by Dan Bessie and produced by Pyramid Media. The music was performed by the Santa Cruz Chamber Orchestra conducted by Dr. Lewis Keizer.[34][35]
  • The 1983 filmA Christmas Story features music fromPeter and the Wolf during scenes of the character Scut Farkus bullying other characters. The surname Farkus is a variation offarkas, which is Hungarian for "wolf".
  • In 1985,Arnie Zane choreographed apunk music ballet version.[36]
  • In 1988,"Weird Al" Yankovic andWendy Carlos produced acomedic version, using a synthesized orchestra and many additions to the story and music (e.g., Peter captures the wolf using his grandfather's dental floss, leading to the moral of the story: "Oral hygiene is very important").[37]
  • In 1989, in an episode of theMuppet Babies entitled "Skeeter and the Wolf", Skeeter fills in for Peter, Gonzo is the bird, Scooter is the cat, Fozzie is the duck, Nanny is the grandparent, and Kermit and Piggy are the hunters.[citation needed]

1990s

[edit]

2000s

[edit]

2010s

[edit]
  • In 2010, Denver musiciansMunly and the Lupercalians releasedPetr & the Wulf, an alternative take told from the perspectives of each character: Grandfater, Petr, Scarewulf, Cat, Bird, The Three Hunters, Duk, and Wulf. Released on theAlternative Tentacles label.[49]
  • In 2012,ITV used a version of the main theme as the title music for their coverage of theEuropean Football Championships, because Prokofiev was born in present-day Ukraine, one of the host countries.[50]
  • In 2019, composerLior Navok releasedBrave Little Timmy for narrator and orchestra (same instrumentation asPeter and the Wolf). The libretto, written by the composer, tells the story of Timmy, whose distant friendship with a wolf saved the latter from the hunters.[51]

2020s

[edit]
  • In 2023,Gavin Friday, with directors Elliot Dear andStephen McNally (musician) released an animated version based onBono's drawings onMax. This adaptation, narrated by Friday, alters the story slightly: Peter had lost his mother to an unspecified illness, implied to be cancer. The Wolf has puppies, one of whom reminds Peter of himself, and thus the Wolf reminds him of his late mother. Peter and his grandfather deceive the hunters and release the Wolf. The black and whiteshort film and its theme song by Friday, "There's Nothing To Be Afraid Of", support theIrish Hospice Foundation.[52]

In copyright law

[edit]

In the United States, theUS Supreme Court's decision in 2012 inGolan v. Holder restoredcopyright protection in the United States to numerous foreign works that had entered thepublic domain.Peter and the Wolf was frequently cited by the parties and amici, as well as by the Court's opinion and by the press, as an example of a well-known work that would be removed from the public domain by the decision.[53] The restored copyright per current law is 95 years after publication. Therefore the piece is expected to enter the public domain on December 31, 2031.

In many other countries, the piece is already in the public domain.
