When Igor Stravinsky's ballet Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of
Spring) premiered during the 1913 Paris season of Sergei
Diaghilev's Ballets Russes, its avant-garde music and jarring
choreography scandalized audiences. Today it is considered one of
the most influential musical works of the twentieth century. In
this volume, the ballet finally receives the full critical
attention it deserves, as distinguished music and dance scholars
discuss the meaning of the work and its far-reaching influence on
world music, performance, and culture. Essays explore four key
facets of the ballet: its choreography and movement; the cultural
and historical contexts of its performance and reception in France;
its structure and use of innovative rhythmic and tonal features;
and the reception of the work in Russian music history and theory.
