who wrote the song flight of the bumblebee
Flight of the Bumblebee "Flight of the Bumblebee" is an orchestral interlude written by Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov for his opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan, composed in 1899â€“1900. Its composition is intended to musically evoke the seemingly chaotic and rapidly changing flying pattern of a bumblebee. Despite the piece's being a rather incidental part of the opera, it is today one of the more familiar classical works because of its frequent use in popular culture.
