Description: Although titled "Hommage à Igor Stravinsky", only 16 of the 62 minutes of music here are by other composers. The Stravinsky pieces however, all but two of which date from 1914-21, provide the impetus for the five in memoriam works composed after his death in 1971: short, deceptively simple and aphoristic. The modern composers use the flute, clarinet and harp combination which Stravinsky employed in his 1959 Epitaph. Ensemble Avantgarde.
