PROGRAM NOTES Igor Stravinsky’s l’Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) was composed in 1918 and is a theatrical work “to be read, played, and danced.” It was originally orchestrated for a septet of violin, clarinet, bassoon, percussion, double bass, trombone, and trumpet.

Unfortunately, due to outbreak of the Spanish flu, the 1918 tour was canceled. The composer arranged a condensed suite version in 1919 for violin, clarinet, and piano trio that consists of five movements. Surprisingly, this latter version of the work was received with more acclaim and popularity than the original premier and remains one of the most influential pieces in chamber music repertory.

The narrative is a Faustian tale which follows the story of a soldier who experiences a series of misfortunes and triumphs after he meets, and is subsequently tricked by, the devil while on leave from war. Each movement paints scenes over the course of the unfolding drama, with the violin part often representing the soldier’s virtuosic violin playing. l’Histoire du soldat is full of masterful wit and humor which marked Stravinsky’s compositional style, displayed through use of asymmetrical, shifting meters, complex syncopations between voices, and intricate cross-rhythms that bring the work to life.

At the conclusion of the story, the narrator offers the following moral for the audience to ponder: Why do we yearn to add what we once had to what we’ve got?

Why do we turn from what we are to what we were when we cannot?

Why not account our joys twice blessed with each new day begun?

Why, having some, seek to have it all, then find that we have none?
