It was introduced by that orchestra in a memorable concert at Carnegie Hall, New York, on March 25, 1946, to the acclaim of public and critics alike. Igor Stravinsky is one of the greatest and most representative fig- ures in modern-day music. His music has shocked, delighted, amazed, and irritated, but never bored people. Stravinsky's revolutionary musical precepts, his constant search for the new, for the true mirror of our changing world, find expression in music that is based “on sound musicianship and a great genius. That is why his ‘Firebird Suite," ‘Rite of Spring," and ‘‘Petrouchka," to name only a few is major works, are modern classics. That is why Stravinsky was so impressed by the Woody Herman Orchestra’ and by their recordings of “'Bijou," ‘“Goosey Gander,” “Caldonia."" His creativeness, invention, and deep sense of the lern, matched ihe some characteristics of the Herman Orchestra.Dedicated to Woody Herman EBONY CONCERTO Miniature Score Recorded by The WOODY HERMAN Orchestra Conducted by IGOR STRAVINSKY Price 12/6 2p net EDWIN H.
