Welcome, my name is Garri Voodoo. My journal will feature articles by my good friend, the violinist and music scholar, Runa Fanany. She will mostly cover classical music, with perhaps a slightly alternative point of view. Enjoy!

Stravinsky's Soldier's Tale

Regrettably I just don't have the time to write a proper update this weekend, and I apologise. However, in my recent travels I came across a very interesting program note for Igor Stravinsky's 'L'histoire du Soldat'(The Soldier's Tale). In my previous article on 20th century orchestral development, I mentioned how some composers were scaling works down to be more easily staged after world wars. This work is a brilliant example of this trend. While I havn't seen it myself yet, I look forward to getting the opportunity eventually. It appears to be a fascinating piece of contemporary musical theatre. If you havn't heard of the work, now is as good a time as any to learn a bit about it.


The write up is online at Chester Novello here, and there is some more interesting information on Good Music Guide here.

See you next week.
