- Everyone knows Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'. It has been solidified as a pinnacle part of twentieth century orchestral music because of its daringness, and innovativeness to musical aspects such as instrumentation, orchestration, rhythm, harmony and meter. However, 'Spring Rounds' is an episode which I find often overlooked when compared to the others. 'Spring Rounds' is hypnotic in its layering, orchestration and scope. Hopefully this brief analysis should provide some insight into the aspects of this episode which make it so poignant. Thank you for watching, and if you enjoy this content please like and subscribe!
This recording was done by the London Symphony Orchestra and was conducted by Sir Simon Rattle.

I love this part. Rite or Spring is often celebrated/dismissed for its “vulgarity” or intense dissonance, but this passage highlights how brilliantly structured and dramatically poignant it is. It’s even serene and beautiful at times
That chord at 2:28 and the trombone gliss... so perfect
I always felt intimidated by this piece, and I think it’s time for me to give it a whole listen because DAMN
Go for it, you won’t regret it!
2:57 those distorted horn blast and the overall grotesqueness…..that minuscule section is my favorite moment in the entire work haha.
This is my favorite part as well, glad to see it analyzed! Dickran Atamian plays a fantastic piano version of this, I highly recommend checking it out.
The first time I ever heard this passage I was blown away. I love the bass so much
Yes
YES. I'VE BEEN BLASTING SPRING ROUNDS FOR YEARS. my favourite recording is the Leonard Bernstein New York Phil recording and the way the strings really dig into those off beats.
Happens to be my fave as well! Great job again picking the beautiful excerpt
this is my favorite movement as well !! something that always made me really excited was that the trill melody @1:24 is in the augurs of spring movement ! it is just hidden in divisi violin 1s around reh. 29. thank you for making this video !
also my favorite
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE PART TOO HOLY SHIT
Everyone is gangsta when they have 2 of every cool-ass bass winds
Another place, another time.
also my fave, this is so beautiful
with this channel i think i found my musical doppelgänger😂
Great choice. I love Le sacre since I discovered when I was 16th (I’m 51 now). If you can search for the Bohdan Wodiczko recording, truly a revelation
The duet at the beginning is so hard to play in tune, I've played both parts 😵💫
I can't wholheartedly say, that this is my favorite part (I think, I like the Ritual of Abduction for example more because of it's uniqueness), but it really is a beautiful part.
i played bass for this with my yo a few years ago. chugging those low Eb’s out with a C extension is the most satisfying thing.
@@user-zx5gg8od6l no we had C extensions so we could change the note easily
Im always looking for a recording of this movement and trying to find which one has the beefiest basses
Double Bass COOL
The part that inspired Puccini's Tu che di gel in Turandot.
brace yourself at 2:03...
The beginning clarinet melody isn’t a pagan melody, it’s a Lithuanian daino or folk melody
Oh no way, I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know!
It’s actually a combination of 2 (could be more, but I can’t quite remember) Lithuanian folk songs!
I always imagine the scene: a beautiful naked young girl lying on the grass in the middle of the forest. She covers her chest with her hands, and there is sadness and torment on her face. The corners of her eyebrows are raised and her eyes look up at the sky. This continues until the music becomes loud and dissonant - at which point the pagans tear her body apart and the green grass turns red with blood. When the music becomes calm again we see her body lying on her stomach in the middle of the forest. The camera moves away and the screen goes dark. (Sorry for my english, not a native speaker)
