Stravinsky trivia
Dec. 24th, 2014 12:20 pmOkay, so something you should probably know about me is that The Nutcracker never featured in my childhood outside of Fantasia, so listening to bits which make it into peoples' choice of holiday music makes me think of the good bits of Fantasia. As an adult with some experience doing animation I have a greater appreciation for all the beautiful, amazing work which I wanted to get through as a kid so I could get to The Good Bits. By "good bits" I mean "has dinosaurs."
Typically I get to hear The Rite of Spring as a coherent whole, but I was able to find a breakdown of the piece and can match parts sooo;
"Mystical Circles of the Young Girls" is the part with the struthiomimes, the Stegosaurus and the hadrosaurs eating and then being alerted.
"Glorification of the Chosen Victim" is the Albertosaurus versus Stegosaurus stenops.
"Ritual of the Ancestors" is the big dinosaur death march at the K-T boundary (does anyone still call it that or has our terminology changed?).
