Stravinsky Firebird Suite (1919): Finale
Stravinsky's "The Firebird" started as ballet, which premiered to huge success in 1910. He then rewrote it as an orchestral suite three separate times (in 1911, 1919, and 1945). This is the finale from the second suite. Stravinsky scored it for 33 instruments, but we have whittled it down a bit to make it available for chamber groups.
This composition can be played by 114,669 different combinations of instruments (really!).
A few notes on the parts and instruments:
- The standard ("std") parts are the original parts and are designed to be played together.
- The alternate "a" parts, if present, are raised one octave (8va) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the higher instruments listed. They should work as long as they are above the other parts.
- The alternate "b" parts, if present, are lowered one octave (8vb) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the lower instruments listed. They should work as long as they are below the other parts.
- For example, using parts 1, 2, and 3 together is definitely ok. Using parts 1a, 2, and 3b together is probably ok. Using parts 1b, 2, and 3a together might not work well.
- Part ranges are listed in concert key, where C4 is middle C.
