@@nightshadedreams2989 Yeah, R-K basically took the CHORAL version of Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain (which was different from the fully orchestral version he originally wrote) and then re-orchestrated it for orchestra only, also changing a bunch of parts and making it sound overall more cohesive.

This masterpiece existed long before in America it has connection to Disney. So much about american education and general knowledge .You should tell that Donald Duck wrote this?You Americans are uneducated and stupid beyond belief.
Heavy metal music is actually inspired by this kind of orchestral music. Why else would there be so many symphonic metal bands like Nightwish and Epica?
ruclips.net/video/MCmLTjcfq6I/видео.html&ab_channel=TribecaNewMusic This is a cover of a pretty popular metal song. I think you will take your words back. Also metal music never meant to be scary(artists maybe, but not music itself). Metal is more about heaviness, power and technique
The beauty of classical music is that we're all subconsciously aware of all the great works before you even start getting into it because there will have been hundreds of times you'll have already heard them, then when you get into it you realise you just didn't know the titles and the composers. Rock, metal and punk are my favourite genres but recently I've become addicted to listening to Classic FM.
Well said, also people should apply this to John Barry a more modern composer who died a few years ago. This man is a genius and everyone recognizes the great scores and master pieces he composed but not the name. Too many brilliant people overlooked I think and some of the worst are in the media all the time.
@@jimmyriddles Totally agree, many people are overlooked because they're not considered cool and compatible with the mind numbing narrative that is forced on us. I've recently become aware of both John Barry and John Williams and have bought some of their work on CD. I love music and have a very diverse collection of CDs - my favourite genres are rock, punk and metal but recently I have been getting into classical music and wish I had years ago!

+Bender B. Rodriguez This one is nice, though some of us wicked math teachers who are children of the 1980's like murder by numbers by the Police. It really sets the mood.
We played it for our UIL and end of the year concert. Rehearsing it was tough, but after we heard a recording of ourselves playing it, it sounded awesome.
Played this in the 10th grade in high school. We had 20 violins, 8 violas, 3? string basses, full woodwinds, brass and percussion, and some really good senior strings. It was awesome.
Neil Power it is Neil I heard it once it brought shivers up my spine and I was 17 at the time and listening to this now at 64 so can feel the shivers again
Apparently, Mussorgsky was incredibly critical of himself, and was a perfectionist, which is part of why he doesn't have a whole lot of surviving music. He ended up discarding whatever music he was dissatisfied with Edit: Turns out that this is not entirely accurate. Mussorgsky wasn't necessarily a perfectionist, but he was often under intense pressure from his mentor, Mily Balakirev. Additionally, he didn't really discard work that dissatisfied him, but he would frequently rewrite and revisit old works, and it's common knowledge that he technically never completed Night on Bald Mountain
he wasn't self-critical. he just wasn't skilled enough to produce good quality finished pieces, despite his enormous talent. his works are only known and critically acclaimed because Rimsky-Korsakov literally had to complete them and even rearrange them so they would sound acceptable from a technical standpoint.
It feels like your running from a nightmare that could not be described in words, a feeling you must be there to feel, simply a masterpiece credit to such a great composer
Mussorgsky inanılmaz bir besteci. Her dinlediğimde beni uçsuz bucaksız yerlere götürüyor. İnanılmaz gerçekten. Böyle bir orkestrayı dağda ormanda veya distopik mekanlarda dinlemek aşırı keyif verir. Her dinlediğimde müziğin yüksek kısımları ve düşük kısımlarında çok ayrı duygular hissettiriyor. Şahane kocaman bir eser , bu eser için kendisine çok teşekkür ederim 🙏🌙

You think THIS is anxiety? Try this... 😅 Threnody: For the Victims of Hiroshima. Absolutely terrifying. My music teacher showed it to my class to analyse the 'melody' (if there is one) and it honestly hurts my ears to listen to, not just because it's what my anxiety attacks sound like... it's also just not aurally pleasing to listen to ._.
Its original title was the crimson tide but his wife insisted he change it. He was thrown out of the house and spent the night on bald mountain and that's when he wrote the sugar plumb fairy
The original title was "St. John's Night at the Bare Mountain", and the different passages are titled after different encounters with demons. So, you're totally right--must've been a helluva night
@@jenniferdonovan821 Apparently it's been used in a few different productions, so the exact details differ depending on which you're talking about. Usually, though, it seems to be about devils and witches.

While it sounds great and is an amazing ending to the piece, this part is incredibly boring to play as a violinist. Especially when the flute solo comes in, there’s 25 measures of rest that you have to count
The most Russian of 'the Five' imo, some took a rather dim view of his orchestration and technique but it is what makes him unique, what you hear is his unvarnished, raw genius.
Modest Mussorgsky wrote this music during his stay in south Italy, at Montecalvo Irpino, on the river Sabato, near Benevento, the place of the witches. They made their sabba under a big tree, a walnut, called noce di Benevento.
More so a year later after you posted this. Afghanistan taken over by the Taliban because a senile old man in charge in the White House let it happen, a crisis at the border with thousands of illegals entering and spreading the Covid-=19 virus while we are told by the same old man's Dr. Fraud to continue wearing masks to stop the spread, a world anxiously watching what will happen next if Afghanistan was run over that easily without America intervening in less than a month...He was right about only one thing when he said 'Darker days are ahead'...we didn't know he was going to make sure of it...
The afterburners to this music start at 0:16 and then begins to coast down at 7:20. We're talking 7 minutes of mind blowing, frenetic, electrified orchestral music that excites the senses. What a work of art!
I played this in my college orchestra and it was so much fun. I was first chair violist and just reminiscing over some of the old pieces we played, it was so much fun to lead this piece and it was super exciting to play live and was a total hit. This as well as "Pictures at an Exhibition" Baba Yaga and Great Gate of Kiev were some of my favorites. I really loved Baba Yaga in particular Edit: I blew so many bow strings on all three pieces, especially on Pictures at an Exhibition. I think I sawed through about a third of my bow by the time we finished all those pieces because I went absolutely ham on them, they were my favorites.
@ninjadaer6183 Very late reply, but yes, correct - I played viola, not violin. So I was therefore a violist. Not like the first commenter, who suggested that it was based around men or women determining whether it was violin or viola. Tell me you know nothing about string instruments without telling me you know nothing about string instruments.
Funny thing, next to my village in Portugal we have precisely a Bald Mountain ( _Monte_ _Calvo_ , in Portuguese). Never met the Devil there... yet. Brilliant composition, never get tired listening to it.
@@alessandrogentile7744 bloody hell, no! 🤣 But funny thing, there's a lot of legends here in Portugal, related to the Muslim rule during the Reconquista, that say the same: at St. John's night, you can hear on certain spots, like castles and rocks, a traped Moor princess working with a spindle.
''Okay, what kind of boss could be waiting for me in this dark pit?" *Bald mountain starts playing* ''Oh.'' *Chernabog appears* *Childhood trauma resurfacing* *"Shit."*
Spencer Prescher I consider myself an expert on Halloween music and although HOTMK is a good one I think Bald Mountain works even better since we had images of a giant devil commanding a legion of ghosts and demons permanently etched into our minds when we hear this song. Easily one of the greatest moments in Disney history as well.
+Susana Almeida Its true. You just get the feeling of some ungodly entity rising out of the ground. The music going faster and faster is your fear and uncertainty. It's awesome 😍
I think another piece that's on par has to go to Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre. Maybe more of the modern view and practices of Halloween, but I feel this child like playfulness every time I listen to Camille's work. He was wonderful at that. Camille and Disney would have made a great team! But these two pieces could be the perfect companion pieces to representing Halloween's past & present. As to it's future?... Who knows?
No its about every Halloween the spirits go up to the mountain and celebrate. If any mortal is seen near the mountain the spirits will take the mortals and kill them, unless they are wearing a mask. They celebrate until they hear the five bells of the Catholic Church ring, then they return into the ground until the next Halloween night. That's what this song is about dumbo!
Rue DragonFlame Mussorgsky was Russian. It is not about American Hallowen this. I think it is the Witches sabbath on the longest day of the year (Midsummer) or somethingh.
Rue DragonFlame Its about walpurguis night, or a witches sabbath like they said, in Faust from Goethe, Faust and Mephistopheles go to a kind of sabbath (walpurguis night) in top of the Bald mountain (Brocken); hence the name.
ill never forget this tune in one of the many hard stages of 'Earthworm Jim' for the Super Nintendo...haunting, and a haunting difficult level, with this long playing the entire time! Terror! haha . Awesome composition
@@warhouse634 Модест Мусоргский лежит в канаве с перепою, а мимо проходит Николай Римский-Корсаков, в смокинге и с бамбуковой тростью.

This is beautifully illustrated and animated by Disney (when they were a good company) and it is fantastic and matches the terror and horror of the piece. I love this piece to death😊
+Alucard the Aichomancer That is exactly what it is! A lot of those guys got that metal/black metal vibe from Liszt, except for Mussorgsky. His metal was his own. \m/
Many of his compositions were "tweaked", "corrected" and reorchestrated from their original forms. Luckily, we still have most of the originals that we enjoy today.
excellent choices, but i would swap the verdi requiem dies irae for the mozart, and remind them of all the cartoons of their youth that use classical music as inspiration..
This is the soundtrack that was set to an animated piece at the end of Disney's Fantasia. When I was a child, I used to have ear infections a lot, and Fantasia was THE movie I always watched to death. I could still tell when the tape was gonna go fuzzy. This piece imprinted itself into my memory, and influenced me from an early age. The imagery of demons and ghosts flying about the mountainside to this piece. It always stuck with me. Beautiful work!
my dance teacher , put together a routine for me, the first segment only .one time I performed it in a nursing home, I was told a women covered her face while saying oh no.my costume was black / red .black satin cape.
The moments the music accelerates are telling of what experiences he went through to create this terrifying masterpiece. Straight out of a thriller film.
I'm not Russian, European, or anything close to it but Russian classical music is so fuckin awesome, cheers Russian people, raise your vodka I'll raise my tequila and toast to Mussorgsky!

-Mussorgsky
Hah
I looked into it. Apparently, it's a gathering of witches.
As a kid, I loved this song. It was the ‘finale’ of the OG Fantasia. Although it made me anxious as hell and genuinely scared me, I loved it so much.

Well I suppose you don't get any hairy mountains

Chaos, destruction, panic, the intensity is exemplified all too well throughout this piece, truly magnificent!
in Slavic folk mythology related to witchcraft. According to legends, witches periodically gather on the bald mountain for their Sabbath
Modest Mussorgsky wrote this music during his stay in south Italy, at Montecalvo Irpino, on the river Sabato, near Benevento, the place of the witches. They made their sabba under a big tree, a walnut, called noce di Benevento.
How did you come to learn this?

All I can say is that this phenomenal masterpiece goes perfectly with what the world is enduring at the moment.
It always has, that is kind of the point.
Still going perfectly #HelpForColombia.

More so a year later after you posted this. Afghanistan taken over by the Taliban because a senile old man in charge in the White House let it happen, a crisis at the border with thousands of illegals entering and spreading the Covid-=19 virus while we are told by the same old man's Dr. Fraud to continue wearing masks to stop the spread, a world anxiously watching what will happen next if Afghanistan was run over that easily without America intervening in less than a month...He was right about only one thing when he said 'Darker days are ahead'...we didn't know he was going to make sure of it...

The influence metal took from this sort of thing is crazy and awesome. Metal and Classical who would of thunk it?
Mussorgsky was the original metalhead.
MFers forgot about Bach.
Bach and Vivaldi though
I played this in my college orchestra and it was so much fun. I was first chair violist and just reminiscing over some of the old pieces we played, it was so much fun to lead this piece and it was super exciting to play live and was a total hit. This as well as "Pictures at an Exhibition" Baba Yaga and Great Gate of Kiev were some of my favorites. I really loved Baba Yaga in particular
Edit: I blew so many bow strings on all three pieces, especially on Pictures at an Exhibition. I think I sawed through about a third of my bow by the time we finished all those pieces because I went absolutely ham on them, they were my favorites.
It’s called: violinist, for women it’s violist
@@bastymanguy I think OP is referring to the 2 different instruments: viola and violin.
@ninjadaer6183 Very late reply, but yes, correct - I played viola, not violin. So I was therefore a violist.
Not like the first commenter, who suggested that it was based around men or women determining whether it was violin or viola.
Tell me you know nothing about string instruments without telling me you know nothing about string instruments.
Funny thing, next to my village in Portugal we have precisely a Bald Mountain ( _Monte_ _Calvo_ , in Portuguese). Never met the Devil there... yet.
Brilliant composition, never get tired listening to it.
Have you been there on Saint John's night, good sir?
@@alessandrogentile7744 bloody hell, no! 🤣
But funny thing, there's a lot of legends here in Portugal, related to the Muslim rule during the Reconquista, that say the same: at St. John's night, you can hear on certain spots, like castles and rocks, a traped Moor princess working with a spindle.
This composition is about the Bald Mountain in Kyiv, Ukraine.
In spanish is the same hah
Be careful right there))
Fantástic. It sends my mind into the woodlands of eastern europe. Absolutely brilliant.

I completely forgot the huge demon on top of bald mountain disney variants had a name. I loved the animation as a kid watching fantasia
Wow🔥
If there was a Villian in this world, this would be his morning anthem.
Chernabog?
Try "Battle on the ice" by Prokofiev =)
This is pretty much meant to be Satans theme. The demon in fantasia represents Disneys version of the dark lord himself
Bogdanoff
his name is Satan
If theirs an orchestral piece that can perfectly capture the feel of Halloween, it's this.
Naw in the hall of the mountain king I think is better for that
Spencer Prescher
I consider myself an expert on Halloween music and although HOTMK is a good one I think Bald Mountain works even better since we had images of a giant devil commanding a legion of ghosts and demons permanently etched into our minds when we hear this song. Easily one of the greatest moments in Disney history as well.
+Susana Almeida Its true. You just get the feeling of some ungodly entity rising out of the ground. The music going faster and faster is your fear and uncertainty. It's awesome 😍
I think another piece that's on par has to go to Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre. Maybe more of the modern view and practices of Halloween, but I feel this child like playfulness every time I listen to Camille's work. He was wonderful at that. Camille and Disney would have made a great team!
But these two pieces could be the perfect companion pieces to representing Halloween's past & present. As to it's future?... Who knows?
Well, in Slavic countries it supposed to be associated with St.John's night, when the evil spirits are especially strong.
When my daughter practices her drums at 6 a.m, this embodies my fury.
Ha ha ! Make me😅 the Day...Ha ha!
Fantasia when the Devil comes out and haunts a small town with a bunch of ghosts. Great stuff!
No its about every Halloween the spirits go up to the mountain and celebrate. If any mortal is seen near the mountain the spirits will take the mortals and kill them, unless they are wearing a mask. They celebrate until they hear the five bells of the Catholic Church ring, then they return into the ground until the next Halloween night. That's what this song is about dumbo!
Rue DragonFlame Mussorgsky was Russian.
It is not about American Hallowen this.
I think it is the Witches sabbath on the longest day of the year (Midsummer) or somethingh.
Peter Magro True, but the facts have recorded it being a Russian type of Halloween holiday that is anual.
Rue DragonFlame
Its about walpurguis night, or a witches sabbath like they said, in Faust from Goethe, Faust and Mephistopheles go to a kind of sabbath (walpurguis night) in top of the Bald mountain (Brocken); hence the name.
***** Can we just agree that it's just images that fit the music.
I seriously cannot see why someone would press the dislike button on such a masterpiece.
maybe it was an accident, idk
It was the light from Fantasia

Ok dada libune
This is beautifully illustrated and animated by Disney (when they were a good company) and it is fantastic and matches the terror and horror of the piece. I love this piece to death😊
Haha Disney, so before Disney you didn't know nothing? LOL

"Well....would you look at that?"
black metal before electric guitars and distortions.
+Alucard the Aichomancer That is exactly what it is! A lot of those guys got that metal/black metal vibe from Liszt, except for Mussorgsky. His metal was his own. \m/
Marduk takes back it on "Glorification Of The Black God" on "Heaven Shall Burn..." album (1996). Awesome !!!
Liszt was the first true metalhead. The others just didn't know it at the time.
It really fucking is dude.
+TheMegadethMonk i don't know much works of Liszt, can you recommend some metal-ish ones?
Many of his compositions were "tweaked", "corrected" and reorchestrated from their original forms. Luckily, we still have most of the originals that we enjoy today.
Expecially with the theme of this piece, the unhinged sound just fits like an arse on a bucket.
What, you don't like Night on Disco Mountain?

When someone says classical music is boring, I play this and Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem, just as examples of how wrong that statement is.
Concana Vega theres a few others, I would say dvoraks new world symphony 4th movement, and shostakovich quartet no. 8
I used to think classical music was boring, and while I still think that a lot of it is boring, there are a lot of gems like this.
@@MazeBeans no music composed by any of the greats has struck me as boring.
excellent choices, but i would swap the verdi requiem dies irae for the mozart, and remind them of all the cartoons of their youth that use classical music as inspiration..
@@jackmagnan2529 he never said Verdi?
This is the soundtrack that was set to an animated piece at the end of Disney's Fantasia. When I was a child, I used to have ear infections a lot, and Fantasia was THE movie I always watched to death. I could still tell when the tape was gonna go fuzzy.
This piece imprinted itself into my memory, and influenced me from an early age. The imagery of demons and ghosts flying about the mountainside to this piece. It always stuck with me. Beautiful work!
Mussorgsky wrote Night On Bald Mountain in 1867, and Disney's Fantasia in 1940.
