Stravinsky as scholar
early music and the american works
Keywords:
Stravinsky, Early music, Anthology, Mass, Orpheus, Canticum sacrum, AgonAbstract
Igor Stravinsky’s interest in early music intensified after his emigration to the United States, where the music that he studied included newly published pedagogical anthologies and other items. He refers to early music at several points in the “conversation” books and elsewhere, yet rarely broaches directly the influence of early music on his own. Nevertheless, features of Stravinsky’s music can be seen to engage with the contents of the various early-music sources available to him. This aspect of his style can be studied as an interesting component of his late-stage neo-classicism and early serialism.
