Lieutenant Kijé (Prokofiev)
''Lieutenant Kijé''〔Liner notes to 3-LP set Vox 3-VCL 9004X: Prokofiev: Music from the Films Ivan the Terrible, Alexander Nevsky, Lieutenant Kizheh: "For one reason or another, the French spelling of the title character's name – ''Kijé'' – has persisted in almost universal usage, causing a good deal of confusion as to the proper pronunciation. This is most regrettable, for the pronunciation of this name, rendered phonetically for Anglophones as ''Kizheh'' (with the emphasis on the second syllable) is essential to the story. It is in fact the very basis of the plot ... () career, such as it was, came about in a misinterpretation of a report presented to Tsar Nicholas I, about 1830, in which the Tsar took the words "''parootchiki, zheh''" ("the lieutenants, however" – the Russian word ''zheh'', roughly equivalent to the German ''doch'', having no real equivalent in English) for "''Parootchik Kizheh''" (Lieutenant Kizheh"). The Tsar remarks on the unusual name and asks to see that officer's dossier; since no one dares tell the Tsar he has made a mistake, the lieutenant thus created must be provided with a ''curriculum vitae'' and his file must be closed as quickly and as neatly as possible."〕 (, ''Poruchik Kizhe'') is the score composed by Sergei Prokofiev for the 1934 Soviet film ''Lieutenant Kijé'' directed by Aleksandr Faintsimmer based on the novel of the same title by Yury Tynyanov.
==Suite from ''Lieutenant Kijé''==
Sergei Prokofiev composed music to the film ''Lieutenant Kijé'' in 1933 and compiled a suite from it as his Op. 60. It premiered in Paris in 1937. It exists in two versions, one using a baritone voice and the other using a saxophone. With the help of Prokofiev's friend Boris Gusman, the music was developed as the score for a ballet by the Bolshoi Ballet company.
The Troika movement is frequently used in films and documentaries for Christmas scenes and scenes involving snow. This motif from the suite was also used in the song "I Believe In Father Christmas" by the English rock musician Greg Lake (which was subsequently covered by U2), as well as Helen Love's Christmas single "Happiest Time of the Year". The pop group The Free Design used the motif as the basis for the song "Kije's Ouija", which appears on their 1970 album ''Stars/Time/Bubbles/Love''. In 1953, "Troika" was the basis of "Midnight Sleighride", a chart record for the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra. In 1962, it was again used for the instrumental "Happy Sleigh Ride" from Ferrante And Teicher's "Snowbound" LP. The troika motif was used as the primary musical theme in Woody Allen's 1975 film ''Love and Death'', which takes place in 19th century Russia. In addition, the theme for the Romance movement appears in the synthesizer solo in the song by the pop artist Sting called "Russians" released in 1985.
