Musical Movies List

In class we have the opportunity to listen to great works of the classical tradition. Several of these great works have been set to animation and/or captured on video. I would like to show our students these video recordings in an effort to enrich their experience and understanding of those great works. The works that we will be viewing in class are as follows.

• "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" by J.S. Bach from Disney's Fantasia
• "Pastoral Symphony" by Ludwig von Beethoven from Disney's Fantasia
• “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas from Disney’s Fantasia
• “Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saens from Disney’s Fantasia 2000
• “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin from Disney’s Fantasia 2000
• “Peter and the Wolf” by Sergei Prokofiev from Disney’s Make Mine Music
• The Magic Flute an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, selections
• The Marriage of Figaro an opera by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, selections
• Hansel und Gretel an opera by Engelbert Humperdinck
• The Nutcracker a ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and choreographed by George Balanchine
• Swan Lake a ballet by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

I will send home a permission slip for all of the students that I would like signed before I show them these works. If you have an objection to any of the works, please let me know so that I may exempt them from watching that selection
