The Rite of Spring

We normally think of orchestral music as a respectable and civilised affair, but A) 5) it hasn't always been the case! In 1913, the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky had a new piece of music for a ballet: The Rite of Spring. It was based on ancient Russian traditions and myths.

Весна священная

Обычно мы считаем оркестровую музыку респектабельным и цивилизованным занятием, но так было не всегда! В 1913 году русский композитор Игорь Стравинский создал новое произведение для балета: «Весна священная». Оно было основано на древних русских традициях и мифах. Музыка была странной, сопровождалась нелепыми танцами и необычными костюмами.

Премьера состоялась 29 мая в Париже. Билеты стоили дорого, и на премьеру пришли сливки французского общества. Однако, как только началось представление, зрители начали кричать. Одни считали произведение захватывающим и оригинальным, другие монотонным и неприятным. Как говорят, зрители били друг друга кулаками, бросали в музыкантов всякие предметы! Была вызвана полиция, которая выдворила из театра до 40 человек. В последующие вечера никаких проблем не возникало, но вскоре новость о беспорядках облетела все мировые газеты.

Оглядываясь назад, некоторые историки музыки считают, что эта история была преувеличена, возможно, намеренно. Возможно, Стравинский выиграл от скандала, поскольку его имя стало известным. В любом случае, люди захотели слушать его музыку и поняли, что он пишет новые захватывающие ритмы.

В 1940 году американский мультипликатор Уолт Дисней использовал «Весна священная» в своем мультипликационном фильме «Фантазия». Благодаря этому музыка Стравинского стала достоянием еще более широкой аудитории. Практически все современные композиторы и музыкальные критики признают.

Почти каждый современный композитор и музыкальный критик признает «Весну священную» самым значительным произведением ХХ века. Оно часто исполняется и сегодня и всегда пользуется большой популярностью — без всяких бунтов!
