Roger Waters is an English musician, singer-songwriter and composer. He was born on 6 September 1943 in Great Bookham, Surrey, England, United Kingdom. With a career spanning decades, Waters has made significant contributions to the music industry as both a solo artist and as a member of the iconic band Pink Floyd.

Known for his distinctive voice and thought-provoking lyrics, Waters has created timeless songs that have resonated with audiences around the world. His work often explores themes of politics, war, and human nature, making him not only a talented musician but also a powerful storyteller.

In addition to his solo career, Waters is also known for being the father to two accomplished musicians. His influence can be seen in their own musical journeys as they continue to carry on his legacy.

Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. He is considered one of the greatest representatives of musical modernism in the 20th century. Stravinsky's creative journey was dynamic, as he freely adapted historical and personal models to his own creative needs. His works showcased a dynamic and varied rhythmic dimension, with interval elaboration playing a structural role. He used melodic cells that were reassembled and broken down with great variety and freedom, resulting in episodes of rhythmic-metric asymmetry and polyrhythm.

Stravinsky's compositions also featured discordant sections, the use of octotonic scale and modal scales. He wrote music for various instrumental and vocal combinations, ranging from large orchestras to small ensembles or solo instruments. In the 1950s, he began recording his works himself to leave a precise sound testimony of his creative intentions.

A citizen of France since 1934 and the USA since 1945, Igor Stravinsky left an indelible mark on world musical culture through his innovative approach to composition.

The 2018 album Igor Stravinsky's The Soldier's Tale is the adaptation by Roger Waters (co-founder of Pink Floyd) on the 1918 same-titled theatrical work. Waters recorded this version with members of the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival at Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church.

The original theatre work is one ''to be read, played, and danced'' by three actors (the soldier, the devil, and a narrator) and dancers, accompanied by a septet of instruments. The libretto relates the parable of a soldier who trades his fiddle to the devil in return for unlimited economic gain. The music is scored for a septet of violin, double bass, clarinet, bassoon, cornet or trumpet), trombone, and percussion. The libretto is adapted by Roger Waters from the translation by Michael Flanders and Kitty Black, based on the original text by Charles-Ferdinand Ramus.
