Pastorale (Stravinsky)

Pastorale is a song without words written by Igor Stravinsky in 1907. Stravinsky composed the piece at his family's estate in Ustilug, Ukraine, while under the supervision of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and dedicated it to Rimsky-Korsakov's daughter Nadia.

* soprano, oboe, English horn, clarinet, and bassoon (1923);
* violin and piano (1933);
* violin, oboe, English horn, clarinet, and basoon (1933).
