The Dance Of The Jesters was composed as incidental music for the ballet The Snow Maidens. The ballet is not based on the Hans Christian Andersen story but on a contemporary Russian fantasy-play Snegourochka. The Snow Maiden daughter of Father Frost falls in love with a human Misgir and plans to marry him. However Misgir is already betrothed to Coupava. The Snow Maiden follows him southward to interrupt his wedding but she falls victim to the warmth of the sun and melts. The Dance is an incredibly lively affair that has stood out from the songs dances and choruses of the ballet. It captures the color and zest of Russian folk dance.
