The premier
performance of The
Rite of Spring in
1913 is the stuff of
legends. There are
disagreements amongst the
people who attended
whether it was the music
or the choreography that
caused the near-riot in
the audience. Since then
The Rite has been
performed regularly and
is considered to be one
of the most influential
works of the 20th
century, laying the basis
for modern jazz, film
music and even heavy
metal. It's all here: the
driving rhythms, the
haunting Russian folk
melodies, the brilliant
scoring, the crunching
harmonies and the epic
drama! The intention with
this arrangement for band
was to stay as true as
possible to the original
and choose the sections
that would work well in
this context. Sure to
become a valued and
important addition to the
wind band repertoire!
Duration: 6:30.
