Histoire du Soldat
by Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971)
ORCHESTRATION
clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, percussion, violin, bass
Seven of Texas State's performance faculty join together to play Igor Stravinsky's epic chamber work L'Histoire du Soldat, or The Soldiers Tale Suite. The story of L’histoire is a Faustian tale of a young soldier who makes a deal with the Devil. It is a work of timeless appeal, creative flexibility and of rich historical context, a work which at its core captures the mood of disarray and turmoil in Europe at the closing stages of The Great War.
