In 776 B.C, the first Olympic Games were held at the foot of Mount Olympus to honor the Greek's chief

caused the Greeks to create competitive sports. Only the elite and military could participate at first, but
later the games were opened to all free Greek males who had no criminal record. The Greek emphasized
physical fitness and strength in their education youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, javelin,
throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual cities, and the winners competed
every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on
their heads and having poems sung about their deeds. Originally these contests were held as games of
friendship and any wars in progress were halted to allow the games to take place. They also helped to
strengthen bonds among competitors and the different cities presented.
The Greek attached so much importance to the games that they calculated time in four-year cycles
called “Olympiads”, dating from 776 B.C. The contest coincided with religious festivities and

May 7, 1840, was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century:
Peter Illich Tchaikovsky. The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later
studied composition at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. His greatest period of productivity occurred
between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame von Meck, a woman
he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $1,000 a year. Madame von Meck later
terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance, when she herself was facing
financial difficulties. It was during the time of Madame von Meck's patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky
created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of Swam Lake and
The Sleeping Beauty. Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy
passages, was one of the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention
had been given to the music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died on November 6, 1893, ostensibly of
cholera, although there are now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.
