Igor Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'

Abstract: A 6 page research paper on this revolutionary work by this famous Russian composer. Its debut in 1913 was by far the most dramatic, and the most scandalous, in music history. The primitive nature of the music and ballet nearly caused a riot as people screamed and hooted at the stage. The writer discusses the nature of the music and the ballet which caused such a severe reaction from its first audience. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
