Stravinsky, The Rite of Spring, Rehearsal Numbers 46 & 47

Rehearsal number 46

As close to a fanfare as I suspect Stravinsky will get in this piece
- Trumpet and C, all flutes, are playing in Bb major
- Interesting to note that this fanfare has a three octave spread between the piccolo, flute, alto flute, and trumpet.
- Really solid pairing of alto flute and trumpet here. Like the color combo
Clarinet also playing in B-flat major. It makes this part of the piece of bright spot.
- The clarinet give girth to a three active monophonic line
- They fill out other notes in the harmony, weirdly.

Violin I in C mixolydian, I think, though the third is missing. Violin I comes in a little bit later to make it more intense and loud
Cellos have a dope harmony line supporting violin II. Lots of really interesting things going on there
What the fuck is the polycord on the hits?!? What the fuck…
