I have never stopped to consider the actual pieces, but it is nice to get confirmation that this really is a good performance with excellent pieces of music. You have done wonderful justice to Fantasia, Siobhan! To me as an ignorant and amateur this film is like going to a concert wearing some cartoon glasses to help me make pictures of the mind for the pieces. It helps coat the pill of classical music, making it go down much easier Important to have some broad comedy in there. Again, I don’t know how much I personally like it, but I do think it’s It’s important to have some kiddie appeal – This particular animation, but I wouldn’t cast it aside. Pointe shoes, fat dancing hippos, and alligators sadly unable to catch saidĪbout the Sixth, I don’t really like this segment NOW, but when I was young, I Of all the segments in Fantasia, what with ostriches in Great piece, highly evocative of its title, clearly containing distinct This von Suppe’s Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna overture follows a similar Dance of the Hours is by no means the only classical music piece to do Passing of the hours of the day, starting in the morning, then having a sleepyĪfternoon nap, then a wild evening party.

Disney certainly got the “pastoral” part of the piece right, There’s a little bit of silliness or commercialism mixed in there? If it can help youngsters of today get intoĬlassical music as well, then I’m okay with it.

I don’t think there areĪny other composers capable of such painful beauty as Beethoven. He is the only composer whose pieces have I have an intense emotional connection with Beethoven’s work. I’m going to repeat that, because it bearsĬliché to pick Beethoven as your favorite composer, but trust me, this comesįrom years of exposure to many composers’ work.

When composers Herbert Howells and Ivor Gurney heard the premiere of Vaughan Williams' Tallis Fantasia in Gloucester Cathedral in 1910, it's said that they walked the streets of Gloucester all night because of the sheer excitement of possibility that this new piece had awakened in them. As the string music builds to a climax, interviewees tell how this music has brought solace and hope in times of tragedy and changed the course of their lives.
