Stravinsky, The Pagan Composer

Igor Stravinsky -- as his works' titles, The Rite of Spring, The Firebird suggest -- was a pagan composer. His work returns always to the four elements of earth, air, fire and water. The compositions are a meditation on how we connect with and honor the elements and how their presence in our lives influences the drama of human emotion. Stravinsky's compositions affirm the fact that human life is rooted in the four elements and that, therefore, they are sacred to us.
