| | The Rite of Spring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Le Sacre du printemps (English: The Rite of Spring; Russian: Весна священная) is a ballet with music by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. | | | Though he was sidetracked for a year he worked on Petrushka (which he intended to be a light burlesque as a relief from the orchestrally-intense work already in progress), The Rite of Spring was composed between 1912 and 1913 for Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. | | | The complex music and violent dance steps depicting fertility rites first drew catcalls and whistles from the crowd, and there were loud arguments in the audience between supporters and opponents of the work, and were soon followed by shouts and fistfights in the aisles. |

| | The Rite of Spring: Sacrificing Continuity |
| | The strength of The Rite of Spring lay in its brilliant new conception of musical time, which can be compared to a Cubist painting, providing a mosaic of different facets of a subject. | | | People hearing The Rite of Spring for the first time notice that several sections break off suddenly instead of coming to a traditional close: a musical convention that allows us to sense the conclusion of a segment or work. | | | The Rite of Spring left its tumultuous 1913 début far behind to become a cornerstone of composition. |

| | Classical Classics - Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann |
| | Like its predecessors, The Rite was commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for his Ballets Russes and was to be staged by Michel Fokine and choreographed by the legendary Vaslav Nijinski, the third triumphant crown of the most potent combination of music, art and dance that Europe had ever seen. | | | Surely one of the most important works in the annals of art, its impact still reverberates across all types of music. | | | the mere thought of Spring has inspired poets and composers through the ages to celebrate the resurgence of life with sweet, bouyant thoughts. |

| | The Rite of Spring (1947 revision) |
| | While The Rite of Spring is seldom introduced without reference to the âscandalâ of its 1913 premiere, the âscandalâ was perhaps as much a manifestation of pre-World War I tensions as a reaction to the music or the staging. | | | The Rite of Spring, the third and most revolutionary of the ballet scores Stravinsky composed for the legendary impresario Serge Diaghilev, was written between 1911 and 1913. | | | The premiere of The Rite of Spring as a concert work, given at the Casino de Paris on April 5, 1914, under Monteux, who had conducted the ballet the previous May, did not generate a riot or anything other than enthusiasm. |
