Berlioz - Symphonie Fantastique - Dream Of A Witches Sabbath

[banefang]

I feel like half the views on this video must be me. I love this piece. Will be playing it in an orchestra soon; super excited!

[AuroraCelest]

It would be awesome if Disney added this to their next Fantasia production.

(But I know they won't. :( )

[Goshyouidiot]

"The dates of the Classical Period in Western music are generally accepted as being between about 1750 and 1830. However, the term classical music is used colloquially to describe a variety of Western musical styles from the ninth century to the present, and especially from the sixteenth or seventeenth to the nineteenth."

This is from Wikipedia(Classical Period article)

[MegaSuperHP]

Cette vidéo est très expressif elle porte bien son nom. J'aime bien la musique classique...

[TonySprocket]

just blaze and juelz santana.. so this is the roots of the best hype up song in the world!!! this is great!!! like this!!!

[AuraDragon11]

I play Bass drum and trumpet, ooooo id have a hard time keeping up lol

[TheMellophoneman]

Berlioz was tripping on Opium when he wrote this.

[MrTubaman93]

Hector Berlioz wrote this while he was high on opium :)

[ShhhhImSecret]

Yay!! I Play clarinet, witch means i would play the witches laughter at 1:54 - 2:20

Hahaha y(O..Oy)

[RealSundanceGarden]

I agree with j71, there is no need for hostility or name calling. Let's just share the music and our knowledge of it and be glad people are loving it. If I don't know the difference between classical and romantic that does not make me an idiot or a dirtbag. So much for civilized question and discourse.

Oh yes, and "I"M GOING TO BASH YOUR BRAINS IN WITH IT" :)

[charlesrgordon]

Symphonie Fantastique was written in 1830. Totentanz was written in 1849. I don't think that Berlioz copied Liszt. The other way around????lol

[pianoman1812]

@charlesrgordon I agree. It's actually fairly common for composers to copy the old gregorian chant "Dies Irae." For god's sake I've done it. Lol.

[jynger71]

Why be so hostile? I don't know the difference between romantic and classical either. If only people like you are here to learn from I think I will just remain an idiot.

[Laudan08]

This is epic. Now go hear Liszt's transcription, it's awesome!

[utpunkster]

Crazed genius wins again!!

[georgepatton93]

this song sounds really scary yet so beautiful at the same time



[slolove06]

People listen and don't hear voices but an orchestra and they think everything is classic! haha but this one is romantic!

[shelenam93]

Ooh. 3:57 !

[PublicLibraryx]

apparently the composer could barely play gutar and no other instruments o.O thats what i was told

[sparxcwg]

@PublicLibraryx Berlioz was one of the first musical composers that didn't come from a musical background. He could only play the guitar and didn't know how to play anything else. He was also a true Romantic composer, meaning he didn't write his music for others enjoyment.

[PublicLibraryx]

@sparxcwg Awesome :D

[bdog083089]

Beautiful

[marochima2]

are they using ophicleides? because it sure sounds like it

[izlude2]

Two movies used this music. Sleeping Beauty - Disney. Sleeping with the enemy. Anyone hear it? xD

[doinit4gaga]

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

[rautibo]

itlll sound similar watch?v=nqCEhmqsSnY

[ecouniversity]

Which orchestra plays this?

[11fracchiak]

thumbs, if you're checking this song because it was sample in "The Second Coming by Just Blaze"

[provider8911]

11.666 VIEWS. ; )

[christskat]

I am listening to this for my music appreciation class. It is a little bit of a darker piece, but it has an interesting story behind it.

[AuroraCelest]

Unbelieveble.

[Gearoid2006]

Isn't the theme based on the old Gregorian Chant,"Dies Irae"? 

[BenGabbay]

@Gearoid2006 I was going to ask the same question! I think it is. I recognize it from Liszt's Totentanz.

[slowcheetah08]

@Gearoid2006 yes.

[montyunknower]

En ese momento no era correspondido amorosamente...

Por otro lado, he leído en un libro que Berlioz escribió la primera obra que se conoce para saxofón; estoy interesado en oírla; no la encuentro en you tube ni spotify bajo "Canto Sagrado" ¿sabe alguien el nombre real?

[CreepyLizard]

I originally know this song from Zombies Ate my Neighbors. Lmao

[CreepyLizard]

2 people dream of harry potter

[EctelionsonofGloin]

Quinto movimiento de la Sinfonia Fantastica, la mejor obra jamas compuesta... tiene todo, desde delirio hasta amor...

[icepearlshine]

someone finally had the full song

[0xAfterBreak]

Romantic period music is <3

[HippieGirl39]

Thanks again...really helped

[Brullumdael]

This (3:30 and onwards) reminds me of the theme from The Shining, when they are driving up the mountains.

[TGCam]

@Brullumdael i believe that piece was actually inspired by this one, or so i heard.

[Grepple1234]

Wonderful. Thanks for posting. Your channel is my favorite channel on Youtube.

[bluntandkronic]

berlioz is a noob

[Ballmbug]

3:30 - the epic Bum Bum Bum Bum part.

[earlsimmons]

The only good thing about university is that they exposed me to this great music.

[sunflowergirl0778]

Is this the same song as in the movie Sleeping With the Enemy?

[Steadfast44]

@sunflowergirl0778 yes it is...

[MsAbaba]

@sunflowergirl0778

Yeahh, that's why I found the song. The film scared me so muchh :S

[UltimaHolyFlare]

@sunflowergirl0778 Yes it is, starting about 3:20 on this video, there might be slight differences in the Soundtrack version though. The legendary Jerry Goldsmith, who composed many soundtracks from the 1950s to his death in 2004, also composed for the Sleeping with the enemy soundtrack.

[sunflowergirl0778]

is this the same song that was in the movie "Sleeping with the Enemy"

[sunflowergirl0778]

is this the same song that was in the movie "Sleeping with the Enemy"

[XstopXrewindX]

playing for college band this yearrrrrrrr and it = <3

[htsand]

My favorite song in the world! This is going to be played at my funeral, for sure!! Thanks for the amazing upload. Have been listening to so many "cut-out" one, and I have the CD so I know how it really sounds like, and yours - exactly the same! Amazing, thank you!

[StopTheMoti0n]

MELODY TO THE BASSES |,,|_

[ParanoidBerserker]

right around 3:35, it just gets super epic!

[htsand]

@ParanoidBerserker So so so so SO TRUE!

[FishMan1202]

thanks for the upload!

[spiderman4761]

The music expresses man's unreachable dreams....searching for the realization of his dream...I love it! thanks for putting my imagination beyond the celestial space.

[swiftjeff]

That blew my ears off! Beautiful!

[Fibonacci09]

Fantastic!

[julijan999]

This is the reason why I subscribed.

[Hipstersinspace]

Once again, a great piece of classical music!

[ShortieNina]

@Hipstersinspace it's not classical. its romantic, noob

[Hipstersinspace]

@ShortieNina I know that. I mean in the general genre. I know that this is technically Romantic music, that is, a period of music stretching from around the beginning of the 19th century with composers such as Beethoven to the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century with composers such as Dvorak and Elgar.

[nothing980454]

@ShortieNina Romantic is called classical too, noob. Classical is used as an umbrella term for multiple periods like Baroque and Romantic, including, of course, the classical era itself up until 1900.

[3agleLov3r]

@nothing980454

'Classical music' is used as an umbrella term for all western art genre's. Even after the 1900's

[nothing980454]

@3agleLov3r Yeah, you're right. There's been plenty of classical music made after the 1900's.

[AbraMedeL]

pero ese término esta mal utilizado. lo correcto para referirse a toda la música de arte sea medieval, renacentista, barroca, clásica, romántica etc. sería música academica ;)

[DR7081]

@ShortieNina Don't you use that word 'noob' in a comment on this video. This music is pure art, so don't ruin it by using one of those brainless terms in a comment.

[nickwharton8]

@Hipstersinspace this isnt classical it's Romantic

[AaDrIiEeNxX]

@nickwharton8 I do not see what it changes, it remains the classic

The romantic period is not a genre

[woodsterix]

@AaDrIiEeNxX Yes. Yes it is.

[untensil]

@Hipstersinspace Romantic music, but i agree!

[PapaBone69]

@Hipstersinspace It's not classical dirtbag!

[TheRealAstonMartin]

@Hipstersinspace its not classical idiot... its romantic...

[MrButtlick32]

@Hipstersinspace its Romantic not Classical.

[LolsoFuny]

@MrButtlick32 it horror not romantic (the guy kills the women for crying out loud)

[pianoman1812]

@LolsoFuny I believe when MrButtlick32 said "Romantic" he was referreing to the era of which this piece was written. Yes, this is a romantic symphony. It actually set the bar for what a symphony of the day should be, and helped establish the modern orchestra. I suggest you read a text book, or take a new music appreciation class.
