The 24-year-old Pizzetti was commissioned to write Three Orchestral Preludes for use in a theatrical production. He wrote with an austere sense of orchestral colour, devoid of impressionism that favours the vaguely archaic, with modal inflections. Stravinskyis opera-oratorio was written in his neo-Classical style, with a central role for narrator. In a stark, stylised and formal setting, the use of Latin, and Stravinskyis instruction for the leading characters to wear masks, add timeless, impersonal elements to a work that culminates in catharsis.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54455309861249,"sku":"1862015","price":35.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/8007144579814.jpg?v=1751713983","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1862015","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
