"Walt Disney: What Do I Think When I Listen to Classics". It was a bit too much to try to express these masterpieces through pictures, but Disney has done a good enough job. A note-by-note imaginary MTV. Sure enough, "Little Wizard" is the most classic. The fly in the ointment has poor sound...

Short commentary notes: about the feelings of each track
"Fuge" is the pure sensibility in the brain, "Nutcracker" is the fairy law of reincarnation in the four seasons, and "Rite of Spring" is the primitive life walking and dying in the ancient wilderness.
Although I don’t like to use the life of the imaginary gods to replace the rural stories in the...

Can music be narrative?
Re-watch "Fantasia" and "Fantasia 2000" for the interview. I was amazed by the imagination of the artists back then.
Can music be narrative? After reading the "Little Wizard", the answer seems to be there. To a certain extent, music can assume the function of narration, and Dukas wrote and...

[longer introduction to "Dance of the Hours"]
Deems Taylor: Now we're going to do one of the most famous and popular ballets ever written: the "Dance of the Hours" from Ponchielli's opera "La Gioconda". It's a pageant of the hours of the day. We see first a group of dancers in costumes to suggest the delicate light of dawn. Then a second group enters dressed to represent the brilliant light of noon day. As these withdraw, a third group enters in costumes that suggest the delicate tones of early evening. Then a last group, all in black, the somber hours of the night. Suddenly, the orchestra bursts into a brilliant finale in which the hours of darkness are overcome by the hours of light. All this takes place in the great hall, with its garden beyond, of the palace of Duke Alvise, a Venetian nobleman.

[longer introduction to "Night On Bald Mountain" and "Ave Maria"; last spoken lines]
Deems Taylor: The last number on our Fantasia program is a combination of two pieces of music so utterly different in construction and mood that they set each other off perfectly. The first is "A Night On Bald Mountain" by one of Russia's greatest composers, Modest Mussorgsky. The second is Franz Schubert's world-famous "Ave Maria". Musically and dramatically, we have here a picture of the struggle between the profane and the sacred. "Bald Mountain", according to tradition, is the gathering place of Satan and his followers. Here, on Walpurgnisnacht, which is the equivalent of our own Halloween, the creatures of evil gather to worship their master. Under his spell, they dance furiously until the coming of dawn and the sounds of church bells send the infernal army slinking back into their abodes of darkness. And then we hear the "Ave Maria", with its message of the triumph of hope and life over the powers of despair and death.
