Menoizikul; Midweek Musicalisms

When it comes to the transition from the truly Classical period in music to what was termed 'Modernist' music, Igor Stravinsky is generally considered the leading composer - even the progenitor/instigator for the shift into wild, raw, unruly (sometimes even called obscene) music. When the Firebird suite first played, audiences walked out! Scandalous 'noizikuls', apparently... every new musical style has had to face its critics! Gotta love the heavy strings, the solid timpani, the thrilling wind and the thrumming brass (you know, the metal stuff...)
