Stravinsky’s ‘The Rite of Spring’ as you have never seen it before

In the anniversary year of the first performance of Stravinsky’s ‘The Rite of Spring’, there have been a number of interesting celebrations, none more entertaining than a new animation by Stephen Malinowski of Music Animation Machine www.stephenmalinowski.com.

This wonderful animation of Stravinsky’s Rite is based on the musical stave and gives a colourful and pictorial image of the music.

It can be seen on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02tkp6eeh40.

Have a look at it, you will find it great fun – and if you don’t read a score, you’ll easily be able to follow the different lines of the orchestration.
