We have decided if possible to use a pre-1950 recording of 'The Rite of Spring'.
It has been difficult to get hold of this piece, we are however doing the best we can to get it.
The piece was composed by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. Stravinsky composed this piece of music for a ballet of the same name. The ballet was premiered on the 29 May 1913 and is set in Russia. Stravinsky's attitude has been described as patronizing, "...Stravinsky thinks he is the only one who knows anything about music." his personality is reflected through his music and could also be seen as reflected through our character 'Scott' who almost thinks he is the only ever to be effected by love, he thinks he is the only other person in Abigail's life.
We feel that this piece works very well with our thriller and its adventurous rhythms and harmony's go well with 'Scott's' dangerous personality. The Violins almost represent Abigail's screaming as she is getting murdered. The violins also help build the tension and suspense of the thriller.
Well done for evaluating title and possible soundtrack whilst doing some research on Stravinsky.
