Stravinsky, Igor Stravinsky, Igor The New Grove Stravinsky by Stephen Walsh Period: Early 20th Century Born: Saturday, June 17, 1882 in Oranienbaum (near St. Petersburg), Russia Died: Tuesday, April 6, 1971 in New York, New York (USA) Nation of Origin: Russia CLICK HERE for CDs of this composer. CLICK HERE for Books about this composer. CLICK HERE for Sheet Music by this composer. Major Works: Firebird Suite Petrushka Suite The Rite of Spring Pulcinella Other Information: Igor Fydorovich Stravinsky was born on 17 June 1882 at Oranienbaum on the Gulf of Finland opposite Kronstadt and near St Petersburg, Russia. He was a son of Fyodor Ignatyevich Stravinsky (1843 - 1902) a principal bass at the Imerial Opera in St. Petersburg who made over 1200 appearances in 64 roles during his career. Igor Stravinsky took his first piano lessons when he was 9 years old. Very soon he spent his time at piano improvising and not practicing his piano exercises. He also spent a lot of time reading and memorizing opera scores that he was able to find in his father's huge library. Perhaps his first contact with live music was when his father took him to the opera. Later in life, Stravinsky mentioned this first contact, but credited his sudden interest in music to a performance of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony ("Symphonie Patéthique") which was performed in memory of Tchaikovsky who had died recently in 1893. Since his parents did not want Igor to study music and wanted him to enter a profession, Stravinsky studied law at the University of St Petersburg. To satisfy his need for music, he still had piano lessons and went to concerts. Meeting Rimsky-Korsakov's son gave him an opportunity to be a frequent guest at the world-famous composer's house. Rimsky-Korsakov saw a great talent of his guest, and in 1903 he offered to give Stravinsky private lessons - an offer Stravinsky did not decline.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History STRAVINSKY, IGOR , composer. Stravinsky earned fame as a composer for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, a Russian company based from 1909 to 1929 in Paris. Three ballets— The Firebird Petrushka (1911), and The Rite of Spring (1913)—secured his reputation both as continuator of the traditions of the Russian national school and as fearless modernist. After World War I, his prestige in Paris was enhanced by his advocacy of a smart neoclassical aesthetic that accorded well with the ideals of the reigning intellectual and creative avant-garde. The vogue for American popular music in Europe is reflected in a number of his compositions of the period. By the 1930s he was widely regarded as being (with Arnold Schoenberg) one of the two greatest living composers. Stravinsky first toured the United States in 1925. He received commissions for two major compositions: the ballet Apollon musagète (1927-1928; revised 1947 as Apollo ) and the Symphony of Psalms While on his second American tour in 1935, he received a commission from Lincoln Kirstein for the ballet

Stravinsky began studying with the famous Russian composer in 1903, and after Rimsky's death in 1908, never had another teacher. His early works caught the imagination of ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev (1872-1929) , impressario of the famed Ballets Russes , who invited Stravinsky to compose a ballet. The result was the voluptuous and impressionistic (with Stravinskian overtones) The Firebird in 1910. This was followed by the even more successful Petrushka in 1911. With his ballet The Rite of Spring in 1913, with its representations of prehistoric pagan Russian rituals and sacrifice, Stravinsky's music ignited the most famous riot in the history of music. With its savage rhythms, absence of melody, and barbaric energy, The Rite of Spring marks the true beginnings of Twentieth Century music, and even today never fails to thrill or amaze listeners.

Igor Stravinsky Life Works Catalogue Photo Gallery ... Home Page Igor Stravinsky Life The son of a distinguished Russian singer, Stravinsky spent his earlier years in Russia, either in St. Petersburg or, in the summer, at the country estates of his relatives. He studied music briefly with Rimsky-Korsakov but made a name for himself first in Paris with commissions from the impresario Dyagilev, for whom he wrote a series of ballet scores. He spent the years after the Russian Revolution of 1917 in Western Europe and in 1939 moved to the United States of America. There in the post-war years he turned from a style of eclectic neo-classicism to composing in the twelve-note technique propounded by Schoenberg A versatile composer, inventive in changing styles, he may be seen as the musical counterpart of the painter Picasso. Igor Stravinsky Works Stravinsky made an immediate impression in Paris with his score for L'oiseau de feu (The Firebird), for the Ballets Russes of Dyagilev. MIDI FILE - Firebyrd: Dance There followed the very Russian Petrushka, set in a Russian fair-ground, and the succès de scandale of Le sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring). After works on a smaller scale in war-time, Stravinsky turned again to ballet for Dyagilev in Pulcinella, based on music wrongly attributed to Pergolesi.

The Orthodox Eastern religion had a different calendar than North America. Two birthdays a year is not such a bad idea! Although Stravinsky was born in Russia, his parents were Polish. His father was a bass-baritone singer in the Imperial Opera in St. Petersburg. Igor first saw his father perform in Glinka's opera Ruslan and Ludmilla. He was allowed to go backstage after the performance and see the great Tchaikovsky.

35. On The Rhythm Of Igor Stravinsky's Great 'The Rite Of Spring' Rhythm has been described by Eli Siegel and Aesthetic Realism it is a oneness of opposites. Hear stravinsky's great rhythma oneness of speed and slowness, motion and pause. A paper by Edward Green. http://www.edgreenmusic.org/Stravins-a.htm

E DWARD G REEN COMPOSER, MUSIC EDUCATOR / NEW YORK CITY On the Rhythm of "The Rite of Spring" BY EDWARD GREEN I believe that after centuries of thought on the subject, rhythm, in its full meaning, as been described for the first time by Eli Siegel. I learned from Aesthetic Realism that rhythm is a oneness of opposites, and that the opposites which are in rhythm, and which make it beautiful, are also in me and in every person, and that we need to make them one. I am grateful to Eli Siegel for showing me that I can learn from the very art I practice how to have a beautiful and kind life. The study of rhythm, Mr. Siegel shows, is an education both in beauty and in good sense. As much as any composer in the history of music, Igor Stravinsky stands for what rhythm can do. And of his compositions, the one seen as having the most powerful and most subtle of rhythms is his l9l3 ballet score, The Rite of Spring In a class of February 23, l966, Eli Siegel explained that "rhythm begins with sound as accented and unaccented." And he added, "Anything that seems to be given more insistence than something else in the field of sound is the beat aspect of that sound. Beat is what stands out." A simple example of this is 3/4 time, where there is a steady pulse which receives an accent regularly, every three counts:

36. Igor Stravinsky Dictionary of Music, igor Federovich stravinsky was a Russianborn composer; also pianist, conductor and author of autobiographical and other writings. http://www.grainger.de/music/composers/stravinsky.html

Composers S Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) According to The New Penguin Dictionary of Music , Igor [Federovich] Stravinsky was a Russian-born composer; also pianist, conductor and author of autobiographical and other writings. Pupil of Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov ; left Russia 1914; lived mainly in Paris, naturalised French 1934; settled in USA, 1939, naturalised there 1945. Prodigiously successful and influential composer, initially winning fame with pre-1914 ballets. Later developed neo-classical tendency (compact forms, small forces, aversion from "emotion"), though the austerity of this was modified from the 1930's. Showed interest in jazz (e.g. in "The Soldier's Tale"); based ballet "Pulcinella" on music supposedly by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi ; adopted a deliberate back-to- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart style in opera "The Rake's Progress" (1951). Other works include "Symphony of Palms" (with chorus), "Dumbarton Oaks" Concerto, "Ebony Concerto" (for dance band); opera-oratorios "Oedipus Rex" and "Persephone"; ballets "Apollo Musagates", "Orpheus, "Agon', Mass. Notable rhythmic and harmonic innovator, but long adhered to tonality; however, from the choral-and-orchestral "Canticum sacrum" (Holy Canticle in Latin, for St Mark's, Venice), 1955, he adopted a 12-note technique indebted to Webern's. Later works included "Movements" for piano and orchestra; "Threni"; "The Flood"; "Sacred Ballet" (in Hebrew, on the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac) for baritone and small orchestra; "Elegy for J.F. Kennedy".
