He lived in France from 1920-39, where he changed from his earlier Russian style to a Neoclassical idiom. He moved to the U.S. in 1939 and was naturalized in 1945. He produced fully serial compositions, including choral works, and orchestral works, and also composed chamber music, songs, and piano pieces. Stravinsky was one of the greatest composers of the 20th century.
