my favourite part of the rite of spring

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.
