Firebird - Igor Stravinsky by Koninklijke Harmoniekapel Delft

[@upthereishappier]

When I was about 5 years old, maybe younger, my aunt and I used to watch Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 together and I remember crying at this part every single time. It was my absolute favourite movie as a child and it always will be till the day I die.

[@Buford_T_Justice1]

Thanks! I am very proud of the work I contributed to that film. I'm sure I speak for my fellow artists on the crew when I say thank you for the kind words and appreciation of Fantasia 2000! It was hard work but the end result is so beautiful that the long nights at the drawing board paid off.

[@XXLSSBBW]

Amazing work. It's just sad that movies like this aren't made anymore. It's just all CGI because it cheaper and faster.

[@emmyisannoyed21]

I'm playing this for marching band this coming year and I really could not be more excited. We are going to sound amazing. Alongside this song, we're also gonna be playing Swan lake. I'm going to cry of how beautiful those two pieces sound like and how amazing the Marching season is gonna be.

Classical music is the best friend of any human spirit.

[@ItCameFromTheSkyBeLo]

TheOsmanly And metal heads

[@carmenmonteropeleteiro1653]

This is not classic, is vanguardism

[@TheOsmanly]

Carmen Montero Peleteiro but it is beautiful anyway and deep.

[@carmenmonteropeleteiro1653]

TheOsmanly Thats true

[@1958PonyBoy]

Absolutely beautiful and majestic. Fantastic score.

[@TheRealSlaveZero]

Dear Gaia, thank you for giving us the gift of nature in all its splendor, alas taken for granted. One day you will stop being underappreciated and your wonders destroyed for shallow reasons. We are a single species that isn't in tune with nature, like a virus.. Let's just hope the virus mutates into a less destructive one soon enough :)

The stag is a sacred figure in numerous cultures across Eurasia. From the first Celts in the Hispanic Peninsula to the Paleo-Siberian tribes of Kajhistan.

[@h0rned_c0rpse]

This is legit my favorite short-story or whatever its called like oml i LOVE ITTTT

[@AmberWaves444]

@Danval1023 Its a movie called Fantasia 2000 by Disney. This was the long awaited sequel to it's original Fantasia made many years ago. This is just a 3 minute part of one of the segments of the movie. The movie has 8 or 9 of animated shorts put to music. There are other great classic compositions in the movie like The Pines of Rome, Rhapsody in Blue, Beethoven's 5th Symphony and more. They include The Sorcerer's Apprentice which was in the original Fantasia. Great great moive, just loved it.

[@benberlin57]

I agree make another Fantasia, I love the concept of animation to classical music, they did an excellent job in both the 1940's Fantasia, and the more recent one but I can think of many deserving songs that could use a little bit of "Magic" to make them more appreciated.

[@blackrobbingaming1836]

beautiful work

[@cachaslokas]

combien de musique on aura decouvert grace a youtube.... thank you for the upload!

[@dhakgldlblalck7542]

Nothing can be strings. Not even flutes can match the strings' perfect sound

[@fmonky]

And nothing can be brass or woodwinds, but when you put them together you get something better

[@carosupersonic]

Esto es sublime.

[@juanpvillarc]

Sublime music .. and I love disney

[@blackrobbingaming1836]

Stunning

[@roriksavant]

The stag was just like "WTF just happened?"

[@iainmawhinney8867]

Rorik Savant “what about restoring your favorite tree?” “no, i ruined everything. what good am i? i just want to be a pile of ash again and not have to see what i caused.” “i’m here. you don’t have to be alone. you don’t have to fix this. we can go somewhere else, to a new forest. how does that sound?” “okay.”

[@catkillax]

almost cried..

[@briannearmstrong4538]

love this song

[@jeferfoda]

Divino!!!!

[@_knickerbocker]

This opening scene somehow reminds me of that scene in Bambi where the stag (the father) discovers Bambi after his mother had been shot, in the middle of the snow laden woods

[@tgrman1]

let peace and love rule the world

[@kawazu874]

Well the story talled here is not what the firebird is (this passage is triumphant love) but the music is, amha, well played according to the image. (even if i prefer the russian ballet i have on dvd). to pulchrun : if you find this one "kirei", try other interpretations of the firebird, you'll find some of them "totemo subarashii" ^_^.

[@lewars1912]

It's from the animation movie Fantasia.

[@kokoxkittybean2]

Why can't I find the original from beginning anymore? :-(

[@TahreyUK]

I haven't clicked either button ... I like the idea and most of the execution, but for one thing this is only the last 3 minutes (without any note to that effect) when the full 9 minute thing is just a sidebar click away, and I'm also rather bugged by how a studio such as Disney, making a flagship animation like this, couldn't managed to synch the stag's hooves to the movement of the ground but instead settled for him looking like he's moonwalking.

[@sesshylover24]

@lewars1912 actually i think this one was Fantasia 2000

[@hjiuhfhrehui]

@soincboom2 this is not a song. a song is when somebody sings it :3. this is a master piece :3 though i didnt liked this performance. there are other performances with lost more energy :D

[@darioluzi]

La visione di $ant'Eustachio ::: Affresco in Ascoli Piceno (La chiesa di $an Tommaso, per anni chiusa ha avuto la porta principale sfondata, visto con miei occhi); Credo personalmente che l'affresco sia rarissimo, svolgeva la funzione di libro-fumetto per i fedeli.

[@starlightnorain12]

Mmmm a good job over putting de audio, cause this is not the arrangement in the movie

[@ocayul]

Who is she supposed to symbolise?

[@kentbrud]

mother nature

[@kittykat123425]

She symbolizes the beauty of nature

[@rekkariley652]

At least with my family (we're Celtic pagan), she symbolized the Goddess of Spring, with the stag as the God (the main male deity is often depicted as a stag). So for me when I was a kid, it was sort of a "circle of life" sort of symbolism.

[@SubArcticToast]

Why did Disney ever decide to stop doing hand drawn animation? ;_;
