Paul Dukas wrote a symphony and quite a bit of chamber music, but he is remembered today for only one piece, which achieved immortality when Walt Disney animated it in his 1940 film, “Fantasia”. Leopold Stokowski cut a bit from the original score to match Disney’s images of Mickey Mouse, the wizard and his runaway brooms.

REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides," remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!!!

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!"

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Ol’ Lenny was a pistol.

ANOTHER one of my faves!

[left that other site]

He was indeed.

I had the privilege of attending the Saturday Morning Children’s Concerts at Boston Symphony Hall, and he was often the Lecturer/Conductor.

Symphony Hall had dozens of life-sized Greek statues around the Perimeter, so I learned anatomy as well as music!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thanks for the tributes for the troops. *HUGS*

Did your day go well? Expecting any issues for Halloween?

Over the weekend we had hoodlums set fire to the playground equipment in the school we back up to....string them up!!

[Publius]

I covered some of Camille Saint-Saens’ music several months ago. This is one of his best bon-bons, a Halloween classic. Catch that fugue in the middle and how at 5:43 he plays the two themes on top of each other.

Saint-Saens: La danse macabre (Zygel conducting the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France)

Can’t see most graphics from work. And the IT guys say until the DSL (I think) gets fixed, I can’t connect on my iPad which I bring so I can see.

I’m off for home.

This is the music of my childhood!

(I know...weird!)

[Publius]

I’m still thinking about those naked statues.

[MeekMom]

Evenin’ Ma!

Boston Symphony Hall

I took my six year old nephew to a concert there once, and afterward, he proudly announced: "I counted 15 Boobies!"

.I pondered the odd number, and remembered that the statue of Artemis the huntress had an off-the-shoulder tunic which covered one of them. TRUE STORY!!!!!!

[MeekMom]

ROFLOL!!!

[The Mayor]

Thanks! Cute pumpkin you have there...

[Publius]

This piece for organ by Johann Sebastian Bach would not be considered a Halloween piece except for its treatment by Disney and Stokowski in “Fantasia”. But it’s a great haunted house theme. This is the original arrangement for organ.

Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor (Anton Winter on organ)
