The Requiem Canticles had its first performance (the last Stravinsky premiere) under Robert Craft in October 1966, at a concert that took place on the campus of Princeton University. It was a fitting venue, for over the preceding couple of decades Princeton had become, largely through the efforts of Milton Babbitt, the American stronghold for the theory and practice of serial music. The university administration had actually commissioned the Requiem Canticles in 1965, acting on behalf of the family of an alumnus to whose mother's memory the work was dedicated.
