Pastorale (Russian:Пастораль) is avocalise written byIgor Stravinsky in 1907. Stravinsky composed it at his family's estate inUstilug, Ukraine; under the supervision ofNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and dedicated it to his daughter Nadia.[1]
The piece was originally scored for soprano and piano, but Stravinsky transcribed it several times over the years for various ensembles:
The two versions from 1933 are not strict transcriptions but lengthened versions lasting about two minutes longer than the original.[2]
The 1933 version for violin and piano was written for violinistSamuel Dushkin, who had premiered Stravinsky'sViolin Concerto two years earlier. Dushkin and Stravinsky premiered the new version in 1933.[2] A version for viola and piano was transcribed byVadim Borisovsky.Leopold Stokowski arranged the piece for five soloists (violin, oboe, English horn, clarinet and bassoon) and strings, conducting its first recording with thePhiladelphia Orchestra in 1934.
