Actually guys.. The writer fell madly in love with a woman in real life, but she thought he was crazy... He has dream about it... And writes about the dream in music form... She figured out the song was about her... And fell madly in love with him... Turns out she they spoke different languages... But they got married and lived happily ever after...
Recently heard a performance of Symphonie Fantastique by Orchestre de Paris cond. Paavo Jarvi. There is something very special about the brass section in this orchestra which is just perfect for Berlioz, maybe it's the acoustics of the Salle Pleyel, don't know but it's the best!!
I enjoy the feeling of depression, hopelessness, and darkness,especially in the 4th movement. You can feel the fear of the looming and inevitable execution he is about to receive.
Man, I really wanted to see fierce fights between different composer fans like: "Berlioz is only a copycat!!! LISTEN TO THAT SOLO CLARINET PART! That's a direct copy from Verdi! Berlioz sold his own style and bacame such a fake to GET MONEY! idk how you ever can like him?!!?!"
I'm just now learning how to play bass and alto clarinet (in my third year of college, no less) and my first experience playing bass was on this piece. HOLY CRAP I'M HOOKED.
@scarecrowpa haha you sir have either a sick sense of humor or are not knowledgeable. lmao. Berlioz composed this piece to be as a story. it consists of 5 Movements and this is the third or forth. Basically the entire symphony is about this guy who falls in love with a girl. guy asks girl to marry. girl says no. guy kills her. this is the part after he gets caught.This is wats happening from 4:00-4:20. (4:00) Audience cheer. 4:06 music stops as memory of girl pops in head. (theres more, no room)
@lostinspace94 it's the sick sense of humor, or maybe an overactive sense of irony. I do know the story, that's what I though made my original statement funny. Now I find it hilarious that some fans of classical/orchestral music are so literal-minded and possibly humor-inhibited. Knowing the story should make the joke apparent, others who don't know the story would probably think "yeah, that might make a good wedding processional ..."
@scarecrowpa continued: 4:12 released guillotine. if you listen very closely, you can hear the bass line at 4:13-4:14, thats his head falling into the basket and after that theres more "audience" cheers. lol. the next act is him in hell. its pretty sweet. lmao.
I was told the guy was Berlioz himself. The first movement is kind of a description of Berlioz's love. The next two movements are like a dream in which Berlioz is with the woman he loves, and everything is perfect. Then, on the fourth movement, she is found guilty of a crime and executed (supposedly Berlioz tried to commit suicide while making this movement). On the last movement, he revives her, but she comes back as a witch.
I was told this version of the story by my father, who knows a lot about classical music. I mean, he could be wrong, but this is the version I know and it sounds right.
@MrAtlantos hahahaha i mean, there are probably hundreds of different versions of the same story since since its such an old piece, theres no use in trying to debate which one is more likely. lmao. but i heard my story from my music theory teacher whos whole life has been dedicated to stuff like this. lol.
@scarecrowpa ok. im glad it was the first... cuz at first i thot you were someone who didnt know anything about music stating something that was completely wrong... but you are most definitely correct, the story makes your comment hilarious. and i hope i didnt make you mad by posting the story in my comment, is was as much to explain to everyone else why your comment makes sense as it was to "correct" you... so i apologize if i offended you. lol.
Well said. I was mad when the first clarinetest played that part and not me. Oh well. I guess I just have to work harder to be first chair. I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was sent to my 15 year old son who's on his way to the gallows. Ok, he's taking his World History II final tomorrow. We should all walk around with our own theme music. Good luck, son!
Yes, the bassoon is awesome!!!!!! I played this in Chamber music workshop and one bassoonist could play it perfectly. It sounded amazing. I also like the one clarinet solo. It's basically the only time you can hear the clarinet and it's beautiful.
I think the reason it is so, ahh...joyous is because since this is meant to be his execution for killing his "beloved," the people watching the execution are happy because of the justice served. Perhaps it is the happiness of the people watching his execution that he is demonstrating in this?
Well you have to understand during this movement the man had overdosed on Opium so the dream sequence is far from realistic, so the speed of the music and the general themes bouncing back forth is mirroring his thoughts. Especially the clarinet Idee Fixe, which defines the thought of his love.
we played this in our 7th grade Wind Ensemble for our UIL and spring concert...the clarinet part is amazing(: its my favorite thing to play on the clarinet.
@TheAznmofo it went alright lol. it would've of been nice if the audience didn't clap right before the clarinet solo though lol. i wish you luck in your concert
@thebrodiesmusic how do you think our concert went from your perspective? lol. i wish we had more practice with the extra people though. some parts felt really off
symphonie fantastique is an "autobiographic" composition:you can read on some music scores"episodes of the life of an artist" berlioz is this artist!there is a leitmotiv (the one at 4:05)which can be found in every movement. the fourth movement,the artist poisons himself with opium .He dreams that he has killed his beloved, that he is condemned, led to the scaffold and is witnessing his own execution.that's why the major theme is 'cut' by a powerful g minor chord:he is dead
After reading through the comments, I felt like clearing up some confusion. The character in this symphony is being beheaded—not hanged. Thus the "chop" at 4:12 and the head's "bouncing."
@Darkknight38 there is a small oboe solo which plays his love interest's idea fixe, and then a sforzando (the chop), and then two pizz notes in tonic octaves (his head hitting the ground). It all happens between 4:06 and 4:14
@wildflower12 Did you really say oboe solo? That is a clarinet solo. And the song isn't about him being hanged, it's about him being beheaded. Duh! Clarinets Rock!!
@Padoinkle1 so sorry, you are correct, it is a clarinet. However, I never said anything about him being hanged. Where did you get that idea? I said chopped and then the pizz is when his head hits the ground. How did you screw that up?
our high school band played this & just the song itself is simply amazing. we did great. we got straight one's at contest. Everyone loves the song. & the quite interesting story behind it
I really love the story behind March to the Scaffold, probably my fondest piece I ever played in all my years of playing the violin. It was a pleasure to play this in Class A at state orchestra contest last year.
@Kasuhaku Yea, shinytrombone11 is right. you were probably playing an arrangement of it. Because the real one is very diffucult. plus, it calls for 4 bassoons.
