'' Pribaoutki '' is a cycle of four songs composed by Igor Stravinsky in 1914 to Russian texts by Alexander Afanasyev. Its Russian title has no direct English equivalent, although Richard Taruskin suggests "nonsense rhymes" or "jingles."〔Taruskin, Richard. ''Stravinsky and the Russian Traditions.'' (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1996), v. II, p. 1162.〕 (The French subtitle appearing in the score, ''Chansons plaisantes,'' is descriptive, not a translation.) ''Pribaoutki'' takes about four minutes to perform. The titles of the four songs are: # ''Kornílo'' (''Uncle Kornilo'') # ''Natashka'' (''Little Natalie'') # ''Polkovnik'' (''The Colonel'') # ''Starets i zayats'' (''The Old Man and the Hare'') ==Scoring== ''Pribaoutki'' is set for low voice and instrumental ensemble. Stravinsky is said to have preferred a male singer, although the work is commonly performed by mezzo-soprano or contralto. The eight-member ensemble consists of: flute, oboe (doubling English horn), clarinet, bassoon, violin, viola, violoncello, and double bass.〔Stravinsky, Igor. ''Pribaoutki''. Reprint of full score.
