  1. Study Guide Danse Macabre through the Firebird Suite

  2. Ludwig van Beethoven OttorinoRespighi George Gershwin Dmitri Shostakovich Edward Elgar Igor Stravinsky Camille Saint-Saëns Johann Strauss II Camille Saint-Saëns Paul Dukas Symphony No. 5 Pines of Rome Rhapsody in Blue Piano Concerto No. 2 Pomp & Circumstance Firebird Suite Dance Macabre Blue Danube Carnival of the Animals The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

  3. Danse Macabre, is a tone poem for orchestra, French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. It started out in 1872 as an art song for voice and piano and is based in an old French superstition. In 1874, the composer expanded and reworked the piece into a tone poem, replacing the vocal line with a solo violin.

  4. Rhapsody in Blue is a 1924 musical composition by American composer George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. Gershwin wanted to prove that once can spice up classical music with the influences of Jazz.

  5. A sequel to 1940's Fantasia, the film is the thirty-eighth animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics. Most music is performed by theChicago Symphony Orchestra with James Levine conducting all numbers except The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

  6. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is based on Goethe's 1797 poem DerZauberlehrling, the segment is the only one retained from 1940's Fantasia. The original Carnival of the Animals is a humorous musical suite of fourteen movements

  7. March No. 1 is sometimes known simply as "Pomp and Circumstance" or as "The Graduation March" and is played as the processional tune at virtually all high school and some college graduation ceremonies.

  8. The Firebird shares a far number of similarities to Chernabog, the villain from Night on Bald Mountain in the original film. They both emerge from a mountain, the reek chaos, they can both manipulate fire, & they both appeared in the last segment of the two movies.

  9. The Firebird Suite story is considered an exercise in the theme of Life-Death-Rebirth entities. Pomp and Circumstance is a pastiche (an artistic work consisting of a medley of pieces taken from various sources) of the story of Noah's Ark

  10. In the Pines of Rome, each movement depicts the pine trees in different locations in Rome at different times of day. Dmitri Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major-I. Allegro – based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Steadfast Tin Soldier.
