Description

The Rite of Spring by Gillian Moore explores the cultural climate that created this influential work of music. In 1913, Stravinsky's score caused a near-riot at its premiere in Paris, sparking a scandalous novelty that would become a 21st-century concert staple. Moore delves into the creation of The Rite, examining its innovations in form and rhythm, as well as its impact on film music and jazz musicians. She also considers how this work influenced other composers, artists, and musicians across various genres. This book provides a guide to The Rite's music, shedding light on its enduring influence and significance in the history of classical music.
