Igor Stravinsky: Stravinsky Firebird Suite

Igor Stravinsky was still three years away from the incendiary premiere of his ballet The Firebird in Paris when he wrote the Pastorale from which this Alleluia has been adapted. The Pastorale was originally scored as a songwithout words for Soprano and Piano and dedicated to his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov’s daughter Nadia. Stravinsky himself transcribed it several times over several decades for a variety of ensembles.In this version the simple text‘Alleluia’ has been added parts for three Voices devised and an optional Piano accompaniment added.

The music of Igor Stravinsky's Funeral Song op.5 composed by the young composer as an orchestral memorial to his teacher Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov disappeared after just one performance in 1909. Following its rediscovery in 2015 and world premiere in St Petersburg last December orchestras around the world have swiftly added Funeral Song into their current seasons.   The Funeral Song score has been reconstructed from the complete set of parts by Dr. Natalia Braginskaya and the St Petersburg Conservatory in collaboration with Stravinsky?s publisher Boosey

Nothing builds intensity and drama like Stravinsky's ?Firebird Suite.? Perfectly constructed and paced for an impressive closing production.

These thrilling selections from one of the most beloved 20th century musical compositions for symphony orchestra provide a great introduction for younger players to Stravinsky! This transcription provides access at the perfect level. (2:45) / Orchestre
