29 May 1913.
Happy birthday Sacre du printemps.
Stravinsky is always actual.

In case you’re wondering if Stravinsky left his mark on Jazz outside of orchestras. Here’s a really great article about Jazz musicians and their love for “Rite of Spring” (https://www.npr.org/sections/deceptivecadence/2013/05/26/186486269/why-jazz-musicians-love-the-rite-of-spring) and this account of Charlie Parker and his Quintet played for him in the early 1950s (https://www.openculture.com/2016/10/the-night-when-charlie-parker-played-for-igor-stravinsky-1951.html)

At #SadlersWells for #RiteOfSpring, which apparently requires a ton of sand spread on the stage #theatre #dance #PinaBausch

The large stage crew, many people dressed in black, have wheeled several large metal bins full of dark brown sand onto the stage and tipped them over, and are carefully raking and sweeping to get a nice even covering.

This was a particularly excellent performance. The story I put together on the new contexts for an established multi generational European masterpice is pretty good. For a while, the full length film Dancing at Dusk was available on YouTube. Gone now, no doubt monetized for other platforms . It is a remarkable documentary. #riteofspring #Bausch #senegal #ecoledessables

A short thread

#OTD 111 yeas ago, arguably the greatest musical scandal and riot took place.

Unlike shock rocker Alice Cooper’s 1980 cancellation in Toronto, this performance played till the end
(despite the orchestra drowned out by rioters).

Currently watching a guy’s reaction vid as he listens to - of all things - The Rite of Spring.

“It’s like the piece is telling me, I’m soft, but I can be aggressive, too. I respect that.”

It’s a really great piece for non-western-classical listeners to react to because it’s just so raw and wild. The audience literally rioted after the first time it was performed because of how much it worked them up.
