The Rite of Spring premiered that evening in the midst of a riotinspired by the overwhelming primitivism both onstage and in the score. Subtitled “Picturesof Pagan Russia,†the ancient scenes were evoked using contemporary musical innovations,shattering expectations of a more traditional Ballet Russe production.How was an ancient ritual of sacrifice to the earth to be scored? The unevolved pesantecharacter of a village gathering was portrayed by odd time signatures and accents. Melodieswere geometrically woven as dissonant pastorales with grace-notes mimicking gutturalbreaks in primal voices. Instruments were orchestrated against the grain, straining soundsinto unrecognizable timbres. And just like the dancers on stage, musicians were organizedinto alternating groups often clashing with one another.One-hundred plus years later, the music still incites the senses. The ballet was first publishedin 1914 in a reduction for two pianos, and serves as a basis for this arrangement. This editionis presented in honor of the centennial of the ballet’s premiere, and is intended to give soloistsand accompanists a chance to perform this monumental work. Both movements may beplayed alone, and the first movement may also serve as a solo piece.
