Spring Festival - Haru no Saiten

Japanese: 春の祭典 - はるのさいてん
Spring Festival - Haru no Saiten
A ballet music composed by Stravinsky. One of the works that determined the direction of 20th century music. It consists of 14 pieces in two parts, "Praise of the Earth" and "Sacrifice". The libretto was written by the composer himself and Nikolai Roerich (who also designed the art), and depicts an ancient Russian pagan ritual. It premiered in Paris in 1913 with choreography by Nijinsky and conducting Monteux by the Ballets Russes, and caused a historical sensation with its bold dissonance and rhythm. Various attempts have been made to re-choreograph it since then, and works have been left behind by Massine (1920), Béjart (1959), MacMillan (1962), Neumeier (1972), Bausch (1975), and Graham (1984). Nijinsky's choreography had long been forgotten, but in 1987 the Joffrey Ballet in the United States restored it, including recreating Roerich's stage design, based on the research findings of ballet historian M. Hodson and art historian K. Archer.

ストラビンスキー作曲のバレエ音楽。20世紀音楽の方向を決定づけた作品の一つ。《大地の賛美》と《犠牲》の2部14曲からなる。台本は作曲者自身とニコライ・レーリヒ(美術も担当)で,古代ロシアの異教徒の儀式を描いたもの。1913年ニジンスキー振付,モントゥー指揮,〈バレエ・リュッス〉によりパリで初演され,その大胆な不協和音とリズムで歴史的なセンセーションを巻き起こした。その後さまざまな再振付が試みられ,マシン(1920年),ベジャール(1959年),マクミラン(1962年),ノイマイヤー(1972年),バウシュ(1975年),グレアム(1984年)などが作品を残している。なお,ニジンスキーの振付は長い間忘れ去られていたが,バレエ史研究家M.ホドソンと美術史研究家K.アーチャーの研究成果を基に,レーリヒの美術の再現も含めて,1987年米国のジョフリー・バレエ団が復元上演した。
