Amilcare Ponchielli - Dance of the Hours

[mangledinal]

This piece may best be recognized from one segment of it that formed the basis for the hit song "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh" (1963) by Allan Sherman.

[MrDanceCrazer]

MOM! DID WALT DISNEY SPEND A SUMMER A CAMP GRANADA?!

[StupidManRetard]

@MrDanceCrazer .......wut?

[Pandaonfire5]

Reminds me of Faries. :D

[EliasCalabretta1]

Who remembers of their childhood memories of Fantasia (Disney) from listening to this :') Such good times.

[6661murderface]

exitante :D

[TheYouHub]

LOVE = @ 7:35

[Neohin]

Strange enough i think my favest part is the intro, so simple yet melodious

[TheUberGuy11]

7:35 onwards, great!

[ScreamBloodyMetal]

I love that the top comments are about Fantasia and Allan Sherman.

[axlrosemary]

very nice music ;)

[Devintheawesome1720]

what the frick does WTF mean?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Devintheawesome1720]

@Devintheawesome1720 look it up!!!

[OddishThing18]

"Hey, Ren." "WHAT?" "Will you help me try out my new inventions?"

[Archosaur96]

@OddishThing18 YES

[mmeikol]

Sorry Ponchielli, i like your piece of art, but whenever I hear this song, I HAVE to skip to 7:35

[SargentMugen]

@mmeikol No, 2:00

[PingFilms]

@SargentMugen I agree.. That part is my favourite :)

[ninjakittydragon]

The last minute or so is the best

[NoiseLTD]

Hello Muddah, hello Faddah...

[TatsuoMatsumura]

@NoiseLTD

Camp Grenade, Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Allan Sherman, Dance of the Hours, Amilcare Ponchielli, all linked together. Marvelous!

[Devintheawesome1720]

EPIC SONG!!!!!!

[NickInfante92]

i remember this from ren and stimpy

[jesse2282]

Thanks again for sending me K9 Advantix...

[1mariamariamaria]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[prince2000ful]

´There´s a wonderful ballet to this composition.

[jostie3210]

7:35 is epic :)

[TroubadourPariahTV]

2:03 - Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh, Here I am at Camp Grenada.. lol

[Nadz3813]

@TroubadourPariahTV haha yep. i am doing this in my youth orchestra, and no one knows that song! sad stuff

[SimuLord]

A P-38, how'd that get in the race?

[CHEdumbo]

Are there many different version of this piece? this video review some parts is that is not found in other recordings of the piece

[Hein122]

and the head coach wants no sissies, so he reads to us from something called ulysses

[bundeligafan]

the best part starts at 2:00

[Richy199143]

I haven't cried in so long. I'm 19 years old living in this crap of a world we are in. And I honestly haven't listened to something so beautiful in so long. I remember this song as a kid, hearing it for the first time and its just beautiful. Now I've found it again. And I'm happy again.

[Dygnam]

One time we were the cradle of art and culture. We were the best at everything. Literature, music, poetry, politics. If all those who have made​Italy famous for their genius, now they knew that their country wallows in shit, would be very sad!

[Dygnam]

Un tempo eravamo la culla dell'arte, della cultura. Eravamo i migliori in tutto. Letteratura, musica, poesia politica. Se tutti coloro che hanno reso l'Italia celebre per il loro genio, oggi sapessero che la loro patria sguazza nella merda, sarebbero molto tristi!

[exnemocpt]

@Dygnam

...disgraziatamente hai perfettamente ragione...:-(((((

[kawa56saki]

@Dygnam

uno dei motivi di decadenza è la controriforma, ha strozzato il rinascimento in culla !

[ibeliveification]

Hello Mudda, hello Fadda.

[L1S91]

Why do most of the great composers die young?

[STRAWBERRYSTUDIO2]

Hi! The photo at 9:12 is not about Amilcare Ponchielli, but is Giacomo Puccini, another great italian composer anyway.

Ciao! La foto a 9:14 non è di Amilcare Ponchielli, ma di Giacomo Puccini, altro grande compositore italiano comunque.

[NonmetalAlkali]

the part that starts at 8:30 reminds me of AFV music montages

[TheRobinNoob]

bravo, bravo, hermoso, bellisimo, me encanta, es hermosos, bravo, bravo, que belleza de melodia, bravo, bravo, me encanta, me gusta, me gusta, amo esta melodia.

[wolvie1012]

thank you disney for teaching me about classical music as such a young age :)

[boncontedinassau]

@wolvie1012 -I, along with Disney, I'd thank Ponchielli Italian musical genius.

[Arrivald]

Nowadays all I associate classical pieces with are car commercials. Quite sad that everything today is economy.

[Trinitos]

epic

[H1GHLANDER360]

SAY IT SAY THE FUCKIN LINE!

IT'S INSPECTOR GADGET FOR GOD SAKE!!!

[RobAVio95]

Whenever i hear this, i always start singing that K9 Advantix commercial! :D

[tvwatcher1220]

:D

[Albertmaximus1]

Brilliant!

[sclm046]

The composer spent a summer at Camp Granada!

[Hazelduff]

@sclm046

"MARGE! IS AMILCARE PONCHIELLI IN CAMP GRANADA?!"

[ytsupergrobi]

@sclm046

Camp was very entertaining.

and he had some fun if it stops raining.

[Devintheawesome1720]

@sclm046 ok

[JamesraynorII]

3:05 who are those 3 guys?

[Beethovenisthebest]

@JamesraynorII one of them is pietro mascagni, another composer.

[JamesraynorII]

@Beethovenisthebest i know about Mascagni,i just don't know who are the others 2 guys with him

[rkattelson]

ahhhh

[SuperJourneyer]

He must of had a belly full of hair.

[frusk12]

This song reminds me of the movie A Simple Wish. Just took me back to great times as a kid.

[Tytanic97]

7:34 - 9:31 Favorite Part

[tsartodd]

hello muddah, hello fadduh

[filmerado]

Yes!

[seth5220]

Why hasn't a parody with this piece been pit with Friday the 13th or Sleepaway Camp???

[KatherineXIX]

I loved when the ostriches danced.

[amycamps]

this is awesome



[TheFlyingFoodTester]

Fantasia FTW!!!!!

[SimuLord]

This piece is missing something without Doodles Weaver narrating a car race over it.

[LoDownDirty]

I feel like in the beginning, someone has just woke up late, and is rushing their way towards something... But then!

[firebot4]

Two people can't keep track of time OR don't have a watch......haha

[YoutuJ3eJ3lows]

2 people doesn't understand real music.

[19BenZ57]

Bellisimo,

Quem não gosta desta música deve gostar de pagode!

[CarlarmA113]

"Hello mother... hello father... fleas, ticks, mosquitos.... really bother!"

lol, the melody at 3:00 reminds me of that =p

[sakurasan85]

@CarlarmA113 They used this song when they wrote the piece. But yeah, I think of that, too. You notice a lot of classical music everyday if you know how to look.

[SnivelyTheGlamful]

@CarlarmA113 Me too! lol!

[SecretTimeWarp]

@CarlarmA113 That's because that commercial was spoofing Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah", which put lyrics to this song.

[ManOfStars9000]

why doesn't anyone do a piano version of 7:35? I'd LOVE to hear that!

[Bobzeaux]

2:20 - No no, Ren, I'm serious! And not only that; ....it made a SOUUUUND! O_O

[ManOfStars9000]

7:35

[Naesho55]

nice ending

[Hampstertranced]

@doomownage94 Haha..not on cute guys..but they are kind of funny on old dudes! Like cute guys like Kendall Schmidt from Big Time Rush could never pull that off--lol!

[Hampstertranced]

Woah...that beard..especially in the first pic..wow.

[doomownage94]

@Hampstertranced lol so you're also a fan of beards...

[Oscy]

One of the reasons Ren & Stimpy was so great, for its time and any times: Ironic use of classical music.

[sanafado4]

amo esa cancion

[thepanther17fan]

Whenever I listen to this, this is what I think:

*fall* *fall* *trip* *falls down the stairs*

[casperlok2dbrain]

2:03 reminds of certain segments from Ren & Stimpy

[brianappa]

Amilcare Ponchielli! Thank you for the beautiful music! :)

[PierreLombardini]

[Ginya231]

@Mozartmostly : The today popular version of this opera was offered for the first time in 1880.In 1881, Ponchielli was appointed maestro di cappella of the Bergamo Cathedral, and from 1883 on he was professor of composition at the Milan Conservatory where among his students was Giacomo Puccini. This "Dance of the Hours" is a ballet music piece that is part of his "La Gioconda" opera. Ponchielli died in Milan on January 16, 1886 and was interred there in the "Cimitero Monumentale"

[WarriorSage2]

Hello Mada, Hello Fada

[OdinistSonata]

When I listen to this I always wish that every person in the world would be able to listen to it and feel the greatness of it. Its just brilliant

[GoTFCanada1230]

A very romantic piece this is! I love it!

Well I guess 2 people don't agree with me... :(

[amdg1935]

Maravilha!!!!!!!!!

[Jeffbear1]

Bravo Ponchielli !! I've always loved this piece. Brilliant is right............

[Supermariofan14]

Still can't believe this plays in a videogame.

[LeNozze44]

Why a picture of Puccini at the end?

[48Gianna]

Puccini was his best student

[Jigglypuff231]

this is my favorite music of the whole life! 5/5 stars! ^u^

[ZiaddaiZ]

I think he sounds like "a faster strauss" , does anybody have the same feeling?

[MuffinBoy360]

i used to play the french horn...

[nycolas1712]

Excellent.

[motelheads]

so amazing :3

[DonbeeFwz]

Hello, Muddah... hello, Faddah...

[ddos411]

soundtrack to tom and jerry

[RCdeeds10]

i can't get that image of the damn hippo out of my head from fantasia lol... great piece

[comicreader13]

@cresta141 It's good to see that you have placed effort to make this a video instead of an audio tape with only one picture, but I would advise against that since you, IMHO, maybe wasting your time finding all this picture and making a slideshow. People like me, especially when the song is in a playlist, just open it in a tab, enjoy the music, and not actually looking at video.

Work smart, not work hard.

Cheers,

Comicreader13

[blind51de]

Hello muddah

[iof69]

@blind51de hello fadah!

[substantialiscious12]

[capturingsummer123]

one amazing piece.

(:

my fav. part is; at 8:40

[FeirceNessOnAStick]

This song is so sweet and pretty im really glad you posted it

[hoteliwinshowcases]

this reminds me of lots of kittens and cats jumping, playing, and running.

[Atheneastro]

@hoteliwinshowcases This just reminds me of a cat rocking back and forth on its heels with a large contraption behind his back.

[mrj32x]

3:18 gets me every time! The look on his face along with the flutes just tickles me.

[Nataliec7]

@mrj32x you had me actually look for that moment! I giggled a lot!

[link0lover]

when i was little, this my fave in the fantaisa movie

and i am proud to say i love it :)

[sskullo]

worth waitin for 7:36 when it gets goin.

[momo4895]

we're playing this in wind ensemble for our end of the year concert! i play the french horn, and I have a solo in it.

[cresta141]

@momo4895 Great momo, after you have your concert, and if you have a video of the concert, I'll be glad to attach it to this one. Good Luck & play it good!

[momo4895]

@cresta141 we haven't had our concert yet but my family's going to tape it, and i'll be sure to put it on youtube! :D

[hnksnw]

@momo4895 Don't butcher this piece!

[Mozartmostly]

@momo4895 how did the concert go momo ? Did you kill the french horn solo?????

[momo4895]

@Mozartmostly great! we had some trouble with the beginning. I guess some of the trumpets and saxes where to loud so not a lot of people could hear my solo. :/ but I did really well, we got a lot of good reviews :)

[HelloIIProject]

reminds me of something from disney, i feel like if i am listening (not watching) to a cartoon story, not with pictures but with sounds.

[kkk7hh]

"Marge? Is Lisa at Camp Granada?"

AHAHAHAHA!!!! Love this piece!

[abaterista]

beautiful

[shrunkard]

4:26 is the most beautiful part of this song to me rather than the melody that everyone knows.

[ClannadForever]

@shrunkard

i completely agree. It just has that certain sad complex beauty about it which makes my heart swoon.

[rucklee]

@shrunkard

Completely agree (despite you having written this 7 mo. ago)!

[nyuteme]

hey, I've looked online everywhere for this song in violin. Does anyone know where I can get it??

I can't seem to find it even knowing the name of it....

[PatheticRainbow1]

i play this in my orchestra, i can find out where the conductor got it from if you want.

[nyuteme]

@PatheticRainbow1

Yes, yes, please!!

I really want to play it so bad!!!

It would be very nice if you could help me out!

:D

[PatheticRainbow1]

@nyuteme will do, it might take a while though, i am quite busy with all my school work and playing my instuments in bands.

[nyuteme]

@PatheticRainbow1

Oh no, really, take your time, I'm just glad you would take the time for me.

Thank you so much~!

@nyuteme its alright
