I love the use of Nijinsky's choreography. I loved the whole concept and the only thing I would change would be around 4:08 to make the movements match the accents in the music... but that's only because I'm anal about accents in music, particularly in Stravinsky's music :) lol the truth is it's pretty awesome and I loved it :D Great work.
It was discovered during the Silent Picture era, that the wrong kind of music will kill the presentation of the Movie. During the golden era of Hollywood, they paid top dollar to composers with operatta exerience to make sure the music sync-ed with the Movie, emotionally, and pulse wise. In your presentation- the accents of rites of springs is all over the place. It was a valiant effort on your part, but this piece of composition really sucks badly. The fault is not yours but the music.
@MrPanetela : Not everything is Hollywood. Breaking syncronization also means something, and the focus of this little film is on the music, it is not "background" in any way, like in Hollywood movies, it should not follow anything.
The video is quite good, nice effort! I just didnt like those repetitions at the bridge at the very end, and that zoom when she was running on the square, the rest was quite good. cheers!
However, if you were inclined too, you might try re-animating this piece of music with claymation and using Mickey Mouse in the Sourcerer's Apprentice, as a guide, try again to make a new presentation with this music meshed together. But this song is really bad, and I'm not sure if others would wish to view it again even under better circumstances.
Je trouve le côté visuel tres adéquat. Je vous assure ce n'est pas fait n'importe comment loin de là. Du point de vue Musical et rythmique ces gens là savent ce qu'il font c'est certain..C'est extraordinaire.
I'm not sure what I like about this video more, your paying tribute to one of Stravinsky's most important musical contributions , or the fact that you uploaded this on my 21st Birthday :)
hey man f--- the people in this blog who don't appreciate it. Really nice going. there some striking images, moments, and lead ups in here. It's the fu..ing spirit we need. not enough interesting stuff made nowadays.
not bad, the camera work is good and aisthetically it reminds me of french cinema of the 60s. It needs some work on its tempo, and her performance could be better, also it's really hard to fill up a "one man" feature in a story that involves a crowd. Do it again and it could turn into a masterpiece ;) p.s take at look at my work too ;)
This is brilliant. never seen anything like it. But felt it. It's a depiction of one's inmost writhing and tortured self. You cannot communicate it to anyone but it's still there, all the same.
Woah not bad!!! Hope she didn't actually die... Very clever interpretation of Ninjinsky's choreography, great black and white filming and good choice of locations. I wouldn't have thought of doing something like that in the middle of London! Luckily I understand the context of this video, but people watching it who haven't seen the Nininsky choreography may be a little confused... Overall, a big thumbs up!!
@mightyzebra if you'd seen the ninjinksy choreography... you would be fucking dead. it was danced 6 times, in 1913. there is no record of it. i hate you so much right now.
@sharkmuffins Wooah holey moley mr!! It's on Youtube!! Just look up The Rite of Spring Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 and there you have it! OK it's not completely the same as the original, but it's as close to Nijinksy' choreography as possible. Don't start hating me.
The idea is great, the pictures are great but in my opinion the acting is not. The movements (and also the cuts) fit only very badly to the rhythm. And in many scenes the acting is not convincing e.g. the freeing from the rope!
I didnt mean that her movements dont fit to the music in general, but in my opinion it would make more impression if they were in time, I mean on the beat of strawinskys rhythmically very complex music. Understand?
Good! Very good. Take a look at my channel and the blog I link there. This is a compliment. You kept Nijinsky intact with the jumping and lung steps, you stayed connected to Stravinsky and the theme of the original concept....I'm impressed with just that. It's good.
The point of putting the Rite of Spring in a modern setting is to show that humanity's love/hate relationship with nature really hasn't changed much since ancient times. We're still torn between trying to live in harmony with nature and trying to subjugate and/or destroy it.
I like this composition very much. The use of black and white, no grays. The repetion reminds me of the late Pina Baush, the end without real clousure... Amazing. I think it would have been more frightening if we could never see the face of the girl but just like you did it is great.
Bravo. Yes, i think the slight hint of Nijinsky / Diaoghilev is not only timely and relevant but natural to you. About every 100 years the potentials of expression takes itself seriously? Thank you, we need you.
I really love this video, I found it while I was searching for stravinsky for school, and I was totally into it while I listened, then I started being scared, so you got the feeling, congratulations!
Well I liked it. I thought it was rightfully strange and it was definitely unprecedented. Some things became tedious since you tried to match the music, which is unnecessary throughout, just at key moments should it of been done.
@tingmar Always be at your best no matter what, otherwise you're just a mediocre human. Interesting video. It came off as like a bad dream to me. Especially the part where she couldn't get the ropes off her. I haven't seen a good colored movie come out in a while anyways.
hehe, Bach is good, love his counterpoint and polyphony. Barroque is a must love, the first step into classical, and always appealing, but barroque composers are dinosaurs. If you don't like Stravinsky, you might like Mahler, ever heard his Titan Symphony?
I'm not sure I really understand the modern interpretation through means of film. Then again, it is a very abstract nature, not always intended for correct understanding. I know, I am a composer.
Very good! Not only did I love the black and white, but I also really enjoyed how you incorporated your own (extremely cool and appropriate) choreography into this video while still leaving subtle hints of Nijinsky. Way awesome. Keep posting!
That was really good. I loved the black and white and I loved how you incorporated your own ideas into the choreography, although the subtle touches of Nijinsky were really cool too :) Keep posting cool videos!!
When you search for the movie "Riot at the Rite "(about the premiere of the ballet) on youtube, you can see a lot of the choreography; it is the only existence of it on film, as far as I know. I have seen the real ballet in Groningen (Netherlands) during a Diaghilev Festival some years ago. A 'once in a lifetime"t hing!
I watched this in 10th grade with my Music Appreciation class. I feel like it really impacted me! Here I am watching it again, anyway. Really well done mate, good job.
ScreamingUrName...Before you comment THINK. Maybe You will someday understand the importance of this piece to musicians and especially composers such as me.
Actually, it is classical music... kind of. You have a point that "classical" music can only be from the "classical" era, yet the word is also used to encompass all music from gregorian chant to works such as this. (Film music can also be described as "classical" e.g John Williams.)
@yanpan16 Classical depends on all sorts of factors. It is a useless definition, much as to say that 'World Music' or 'Latin Music' are also useless definitions. I avoid using them and prefer to define with more clarity. Many would consider the 'Rite of Spring' a Classical work - it utilises common orchestration techniques as well as a twelve-tone harmony structure. You could equally argue that Schoenberg's 'Drei Klaverstucke' is a Classical piece based on the linear historical relationship
I'm not sure which comment you replied to... so I 'm not completely sure how to reply to you because I'm unsure of the context.
But, you bring up some good points. But if you're talking simply about an era in which the piece was written, then The Rite of Spring is not a classical piece. Usually, when referring to pieces as classical, baroque, 20th century, etc, people just mean the period in which they were written. And this is what I meant in all of the comments I wrote.
@yanpan16 Therein lies my point. I have no idea where you're from, but here (the UK) we are guilty of using the term 'Classical' as an umbrella term for many things. The Rite would be deemed Classical by most people using one of more factors, eg. the instrumentation. Of course we should use era terms to some extent, but even 'Baroque' is a fairly ambiguous term, is it not?
@yanpan16 ...that applies and is directly traceable to a series of precedent composers, as well as the use of 'Classical' instrumentation.
Personally, any attempt at defining Western Classical Music is compromised by the wooliness (and pointlessness) of such an endeavour. Simply? Don't bother. Use specific knowledge based on location, composer and era. German early 19th Century is a far better definition (for instance) and far more accurate.
@mediocrefunkybeat The Rite doesn't actually use serialism (12-tone harmony), which didn't widely appear until the 1920's. It uses dissonance & poly harmonies, yes, but not serialism. These are different things. German early Romantic & German early 19th century means the same thing to most musicians/musicologists. We know the rough meaning of the words "classical music" in the broad sense, but Classical Music (from the era itself) is music from around 1750 - around 1830, which mainly included:
@yanpan16 What I actually meant was a 12-tone set of notes. I did not mean 12 tone serialism. Most of the music I deal with does not use 12 pitch classes, or indeed any pitch classes at all - so forgive the implied definition of what I said there.
Quite simply though, why not just use some knowledge of the composer? Defining 'any' music is actually largely a waste of time. The same thing happens with 'Rock' music - it's basically an irrelevant definition, yet it is used so widely.
@mediocrefunkybeat I had a really good comment posted and it deleted itself and now I can't remember what I said. :(
It think it was something like...
I struggle with all this definition of music as well, esp. the minute definitions, but sometimes I think for the sake of understanding, we have to let music fall into the vague era categories so we can understand context and style. Unfortunately, this can distort our image of the music through people misusing & misunderstanding the terms.
@mediocrefunkybeat homophonic texture (melody above chordal accompaniment), more variety in melody, keys, dynamics, timbre, rhythms & moods than the baroque period but still simpler than the romantic period, clear cut phrases and clear cadences (heavily structured), & the development of instrumental music - most importantly the Sonata form.
@mediocrefunkybeat So neoclassicism in the 20th century obviously drew from this and we can see this is the huge revival of sonatas and instrumental works. sorry for my super long and possibly useless reply. I think people consider the Rite to be "classical" because it uses an orchestra and common orchestral intruments. but from a classical musician's/musicologist's perspective, it most certainly is not.
@yanpan16 Now we're getting somewhere. But using the term 'Classical' has connotations outside of the definition you're using and whilst I think you are actually fundamentally right, the term is being used to describe something else. That makes the very concept of genre identification very tricky unless you're defining to musicoligists.
Describing the Rite to a layperson or to a naive listener is very difficult and many would cop out and say it was Classical. I'm playing Devi'ls Advocate.
haha, well I agree with you about the way the word is being used. for me, I'm more in that state of "we need to change people's perceptions of what "classical" music is and what the word means to them" and you appear, to me, to be more in a way of accepting the way things are and trying to work around that. two legit ways of thinking, I believe.
I live in Sydney btw, although I was born in England.
I think I'm just all up in arms about this because it seems blindingly obvious to me, as a full time flute student. I wish everyone could see what I see! I forget "normal" peoples' perceptions of music.
But I think the concept of definition and "labelling" is a huge topic that encompasses not just music but, well, everything.
(My replies are all completely mixed up, I'm sorry.)
stravinsky is god. He was so ahead of his time when he first wrote this. It actually led to a riot because people were outraged by it. It really is a testament to modern creation.
I love the use of Nijinsky's choreography. I loved the whole concept and the only thing I would change would be around 4:08 to make the movements match the accents in the music... but that's only because I'm anal about accents in music, particularly in Stravinsky's music :) lol the truth is it's pretty awesome and I loved it :D Great work.

this piece itself is considered one of the greatest pieces of the 20th century.

Actually, it is classical music... kind of. You have a point that "classical" music can only be from the "classical" era, yet the word is also used to encompass all music from gregorian chant to works such as this. (Film music can also be described as "classical" e.g John Williams.)

I don't know hwy I did that, seems kind of arrogant now, but I meant well.

@yanpan16 though Stravinsky's style is mixing classical music with his own style...

@iloveubutterfly
that is true if you're talking about his neoclassical phase, which was about using a classical influence in the 20th century.

@yanpan16 it´s like D. Elfman´s Seerenada Schizophrana - I highly recomended it!

@yanpan16 Classical depends on all sorts of factors. It is a useless definition, much as to say that 'World Music' or 'Latin Music' are also useless definitions. I avoid using them and prefer to define with more clarity. Many would consider the 'Rite of Spring' a Classical work - it utilises common orchestration techniques as well as a twelve-tone harmony structure. You could equally argue that Schoenberg's 'Drei Klaverstucke' is a Classical piece based on the linear historical relationship

I'm not sure which comment you replied to... so I 'm not completely sure how to reply to you because I'm unsure of the context.
But, you bring up some good points. But if you're talking simply about an era in which the piece was written, then The Rite of Spring is not a classical piece. Usually, when referring to pieces as classical, baroque, 20th century, etc, people just mean the period in which they were written. And this is what I meant in all of the comments I wrote.
yanpan16 1 year ago
@yanpan16 Therein lies my point. I have no idea where you're from, but here (the UK) we are guilty of using the term 'Classical' as an umbrella term for many things. The Rite would be deemed Classical by most people using one of more factors, eg. the instrumentation. Of course we should use era terms to some extent, but even 'Baroque' is a fairly ambiguous term, is it not?
mediocrefunkybeat 1 year ago
@yanpan16 ...that applies and is directly traceable to a series of precedent composers, as well as the use of 'Classical' instrumentation.
Personally, any attempt at defining Western Classical Music is compromised by the wooliness (and pointlessness) of such an endeavour. Simply? Don't bother. Use specific knowledge based on location, composer and era. German early 19th Century is a far better definition (for instance) and far more accurate.

@mediocrefunkybeat The Rite doesn't actually use serialism (12-tone harmony), which didn't widely appear until the 1920's. It uses dissonance & poly harmonies, yes, but not serialism. These are different things. German early Romantic & German early 19th century means the same thing to most musicians/musicologists. We know the rough meaning of the words "classical music" in the broad sense, but Classical Music (from the era itself) is music from around 1750 - around 1830, which mainly included:

@yanpan16 What I actually meant was a 12-tone set of notes. I did not mean 12 tone serialism. Most of the music I deal with does not use 12 pitch classes, or indeed any pitch classes at all - so forgive the implied definition of what I said there.
Quite simply though, why not just use some knowledge of the composer? Defining 'any' music is actually largely a waste of time. The same thing happens with 'Rock' music - it's basically an irrelevant definition, yet it is used so widely.

@mediocrefunkybeat I had a really good comment posted and it deleted itself and now I can't remember what I said. :(
It think it was something like...
I struggle with all this definition of music as well, esp. the minute definitions, but sometimes I think for the sake of understanding, we have to let music fall into the vague era categories so we can understand context and style. Unfortunately, this can distort our image of the music through people misusing & misunderstanding the terms.

@mediocrefunkybeat homophonic texture (melody above chordal accompaniment), more variety in melody, keys, dynamics, timbre, rhythms & moods than the baroque period but still simpler than the romantic period, clear cut phrases and clear cadences (heavily structured), & the development of instrumental music - most importantly the Sonata form.
yanpan16 1 year ago
@mediocrefunkybeat So neoclassicism in the 20th century obviously drew from this and we can see this is the huge revival of sonatas and instrumental works. sorry for my super long and possibly useless reply. I think people consider the Rite to be "classical" because it uses an orchestra and common orchestral intruments. but from a classical musician's/musicologist's perspective, it most certainly is not.
yanpan16 1 year ago
@yanpan16 Now we're getting somewhere. But using the term 'Classical' has connotations outside of the definition you're using and whilst I think you are actually fundamentally right, the term is being used to describe something else. That makes the very concept of genre identification very tricky unless you're defining to musicoligists.
Describing the Rite to a layperson or to a naive listener is very difficult and many would cop out and say it was Classical. I'm playing Devi'ls Advocate.
mediocrefunkybeat 1 year ago
@mediocrefunkybeat But you are right, music is indefinable :D
haha, well I agree with you about the way the word is being used. for me, I'm more in that state of "we need to change people's perceptions of what "classical" music is and what the word means to them" and you appear, to me, to be more in a way of accepting the way things are and trying to work around that. two legit ways of thinking, I believe.
I live in Sydney btw, although I was born in England.

I think I'm just all up in arms about this because it seems blindingly obvious to me, as a full time flute student. I wish everyone could see what I see! I forget "normal" peoples' perceptions of music.
But I think the concept of definition and "labelling" is a huge topic that encompasses not just music but, well, everything.
(My replies are all completely mixed up, I'm sorry.)

stravinsky is god. He was so ahead of his time when he first wrote this. It actually led to a riot because people were outraged by it. It really is a testament to modern creation.
