The Rite of Spring is a ballet with music by Igor Stravinsky, choreographed by Vaslav Nijinsky, sets by artist Nicholas Roerich and staged by impresario Serge Diaghilev.
Stravinsky wrote, “... a sacred pagan ritual: the wise elders are seated in a circle and are observing the dance before death of the girl whom they are offering as a sacrifice to the god of Spring in order to gain his benevolence. This became the subject of The Rite of Spring.”
Walt Disney edited parts of The Rite of Spring in his 1940 animated film Fantasia of original stories set to works of classical music. In the fourth “act” The Rite of Spring edited to illustrate “a pageant, as the story of the growth of life on Earth”, from the beginning of simple life forms up to the dinosaurs and their eventual destruction. Listen for the opening bassoon solo which was repeated at the end.
