THE RITE OF SPRING : Repetition Legitimizes
 Lossless
187,789 Views • Mar 19, 2021 • Click to toggle off description
How come the Rite of Spring is both incredibly popular but also incredibly dissonant? Are those two supposed to be mutually exclusive? In this video I present my own theory - that it's the unique mixture of dissonance and repetition that makes this such an innovative and influential work.

You made me laugh several times but that Wong/Stravinsky mash up was both hilarious and amazing all at once! Great job, my friend.

That funky Rite of Spring beginning at 4:39 deserves a Grammy on its own! And also a full scale version!

I feel like we hear the chord so many times that we stop expecting it to resolve. It just exists in its own right.

Repetition legitimizes. Much like that famous rule of voice-leading, "Never use parallel fifths, but if you do, use them constantly."

12:03 Important fact about the original Star Wars: George Lucas originally intended to score the entire film using classical music like 2001 A Space Odyssey.  It took his friend Steven Spielberg to convince him to use John Williams who had recently scored Jaws for him, and even then, Lucas wouldn't budge much from his original intentions. After George was blown away by the first Star Wars score, he let Williams off the reigns for the second film, Empire Strikes Back, and the score is completely different to a degree that it's intentionally separating itself from the first film. There's a lot of good atonal writing in that score. I often hear Williams being called a thief, but 95% of the examples of him "copying" previous works are from Star Wars. The movie industry is filled with directors who won't budge from their temp tracks so most of the time it's out of the composer's control.

In high school our music teacher made us listen to Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms. I was always told that Stravinsky was dissonant and not supposed to be pleasant to listen to, but this was so beautiful it gave me chills. I guess only one other kid appreciated it (and he's now director of the Leipzig Opera)

The expression "repetition legitimizes" reminds me of a part in the children's book "Le Petit Prince", where the little prince meets the fox and asks to play with him, but the fox says he must be tamed first, although the French word used is "apprivoiser", which can also mean to socialize, to familiarize, to connect with. The passage I thought of was "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world." I find the idea similar to how in music like Schoenberg's there are many dissonances one after the other, but in the Rite of Spring Stravinsky allows us to connect with and get to know these dissonances in more detail, and see them as not just another dissonance but a familiar harmony. It's also similar to the idea that people are more likely to sympathize with individuals rather than crowds.

06:51 ...if that impression was not so damn funny, I would be offended on Stravinsky's behalf, lol

The idea that repetition legitimize is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in birdsong, where melodies and harmonies we consider dissonant transform into beauty before our ears and become meditative. Perhaps Stravinsky being influenced by nonhuman musicking is apparent in his approach to Rite.

Wow, I've never seen video clips of Stravinsky himself before, he really looks as crazy as you would expect from someone who writes stuff as shocking as the rite of spring! Also, I love videos like this that explain little pieces of music I like, it makes me go back to the piece and listen for details I had not noticed before. It really helps to appreciate these masterpieces even more.
