대기중
He captures her, he was hunting not for firebirds but he captures her and she begs for her release.발음듣기
대기중
They returned to the castle and then the next day Ivan goes to this monster, this Kastchei sorcerer and says, "I'd like to marry one of these princesses.발음듣기
대기중
Will you give me permission? They get into a quarrel and the monster gets all of his monstrous friends to run after Ivan.발음듣기
대기중
At this moment the firebird comes back to repay the freedom that she received and to help him.발음듣기

She gets all of those monsters to do an infernal dance and they do this infernal dance and at the end of the infernal dance they all fall asleep because they're all so tired.발음듣기

Kastchei wakes up, she gets him once again to engage in a dance, tells Ivan how to go about breaking the spell and how to kill this monster.발음듣기
대기중
He does. Marries the princess. All the petrified people become normal and everybody is happy and life goes on wonderfully after that.발음듣기
대기중
It's in six basic sections. The introduction to the firebird sets the mood, tone of Ivan arriving in front of this castle.발음듣기
대기중
Half of them are playing what we call arco with the bow and half of them are played pizzicato, plucking the string.발음듣기
대기중
You can also notice that the bass drum is the only other instrument playing a roll underneath, again, to create the suspension.발음듣기
대기중
In short order, the woodwinds come in and this is Ivan's entrance into that meadow in front of the castle.발음듣기
대기중
Besides the low woodwinds and the horn, you have trombone, two trombones also just creating the image of what Ivan is feeling in the forest.발음듣기
대기중
They play a quick note loud and then they do a tremolo to create a kind of activity without any specific musical gesture, the sound of melody.발음듣기
대기중
Then, the upper strings and the woodwinds come in in a very skittery way and you know that this is obviously the firebird.발음듣기
대기중
As you look at it you'll see that it's all woodwinds, it's piccolo, flutes, clarinets and then eventually the strings come in and add a little something.발음듣기
대기중
Again, it's repeated, it's very clear, it's short and it's the first solo for the firebird, these variations.발음듣기
대기중
Gerard: As Stravinsky develops this, that material that he had just used now in the strings he does in the woodwinds.발음듣기
대기중
This is a very common of all composers, but especially in the 20th century you take material first played by the strings and you take the exact same material and just change the orchestration.발음듣기
대기중
In this case he puts it in the woodwinds led by the flutes and it has a new sound and we call that a different color.발음듣기
대기중
Gerard: Eventually, this movement comes to an end and abruptly there's this loud chord sounded by the whole orchestra and the percussion.발음듣기
대기중
This is the dance where the monsters are being, in a sense, led by the firebird to this wild dance and she's hoping that they'll tire and to fall asleep at the end, which of course they do.발음듣기
대기중
If you're not expecting it you'll jump out of your sit and then the bases have this very fast figure going on that doesn't really do much except create an agitated feeling.발음듣기
대기중
When it comes to an end, Stravinsky has just a few chord sound by the muted trumpets, by the harp, by the piano and uses that material as a transition.발음듣기
대기중
From this loud, aggressive material, very colorful, percussion and bass drum and everybody beating and blaring away and it just stops and, again, it's suspended, suspended with just a little harmonic movement done by the oboes, eventually the violos as a transition into the [bersus], this beautiful lullaby.발음듣기
대기중
Gerard: The lullabies played by the bassoon and in a way to think that if you were doing a lullaby you'd have a theme played by the flute or by the clarinet or violins, but Stravinsky rises absolutely exquisite solo for the solo bassoon, one of the most famous solos in all the literature for the bassoon.발음듣기
대기중
Gerard: If anyone ever takes an audition for an orchestra this solo is inevitably on it because it shows sound and the depth of understanding.발음듣기
대기중
He just writes the notes. If you think of singing a lullaby you certainly wouldn't sing it in a mono tone or in a single level.발음듣기
대기중
What Stravinsky does is he has the strings play this tremolo just back and forth on single notes which create a harmony.발음듣기
대기중
Gerard: With a little glissando in the harp we have the violin section play the same melody quite softly.발음듣기
대기중
The brass are added and we have a glorious moment for the ... Now, in fact you could end it here.발음듣기
대기중
No, Stravinsky, what a brilliant composer he was and he wanted to have a more exciting ending.발음듣기

Not an ending of deliverance, but an ending of success that we have killed the monster, we have made all these stone people into human beings again and the prince is going to marry the princesses.발음듣기
대기중
He takes the same melody that the horn played and he makes it significantly faster played by the brass.발음듣기

At one point after repeating the theme a number of times and, again, increasing the orchestration, doublings of the strings and the winds, he once again brings it back to a slower tempo.발음듣기
대기중
Each suite that he created from this, he created three of them, are about 20, 25 minutes each.발음듣기
대기중
Now, I would say it'd be more difficult to have the whole ballet stand up musically because you have great music but then those moments where things happen for stage changes, for dramatic purposes that really have no musical reason or no musical value at that moment.발음듣기
대기중
When someone like Stravinsky takes the essence of a great ballet and makes it into a suite, musically it just stands on its own.발음듣기
대기중
If you knew nothing of the story, there's no question you would enjoy this music because it is magnificent.발음듣기
