Riccardo Drigo
Riccardo Eugenio Drigo (ru. Риккардо Эудженьо Дриго), (30 June 1846 – 1 October 1930) was an Italian composer of ballet music and Italian opera, a theatrical conductor, and a pianist.
Drigo is most noted for his long career as kapellmeister and Director of Music of the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg, Russia, for which he composed music for the original works and revivals of the choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov. Drigo also served as Chef d'orchestre for Italian opera performances of the orchestra of the Imperial Mariinsky Theatre. During his career in St. Petersburg, Drigo conducted the premieres and regular performances of nearly every ballet and Italian opera performed on the Tsarist stage.
Drigo is equally noted for his original full-length compositions for the ballet as well as his large catalog of supplemental music written ad hoc for insertion into already-existing works. Drigo is also noted for his adaptations of already-existing scores, such as his 1895 edition of Tchaikovsky's score for Swan Lake. Many pieces set to the music of Drigo are still performed today, and are considered cornerstones of the classical ballet repertory.

No Air
by: Rissi PalmerIf I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in
a world with no air
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
If there was a way that I can
make you understand
But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
be so hard for me to breathe
[ Chorus ]
Tell me how I'm supposed to
breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to
hold me down from you
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care
so how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe
[ Chorus ]
Tell me how I'm supposed to
breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
No more
no air, no air
[ Chorus ]
Tell me how I'm supposed to
breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
[ Chorus ]
Tell me how I'm supposed to
breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
It's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
