The Rite of Spring Part 1

 ("The Rite of Spring Part 1")
Writing the music for this was one of the most amazing things I did in my life.  One thing about composing is that you can put what was no able to be put into words before into...song, dance, and feeling.  That is how I felt about this...

Firebird


("Stravinsky Conducts Firebird ")

Yes yes...one of my most well known pieces this was.  It brings back the memories like no other.   It was not only pricey to preform, but insane, some may call it.  I still chuckle remembering the first performance of it today.

L'Histoire du soldat
