One song cycle by this composer personifies Death as a field marshal trampling the bones of dead soldiers, and earlier as a babysitter killing a sick infant. A drunken peasant dreams of summer as he dies in a blizzard in that same work by this man, who wrote another song cycle about a child and his cat, At the Dacha. In the original version of this man's only completed opera, the Palace of Facets hosts the Duma as they and Feodor watch the title character die, and a tone poem by him features a Witches' Sabbath led by Chernobog. For 10 points, name this Russian Romantic composer of dramatic works like Boris Godunov and Night on Bald Mountain.
