PNB's After the Rain

[Loveisme09]

what is the name of this piece of music playing in the background? Not the Arvo Part piece but the music that we hear when we watch this video.

@Loveisme09

The music is from YouTube's audio track library.

does any one know the music playing in the clip above?????????????

[jdx1138]

@dancering100 According to the PNB's website:

"(the) pas de deux is performed to (Arvo) Pärts spare and tender duet for piano and violin, Spiegel im Spiegel."

Hope that helps.

I have one gripe about this - it was far, far too short as it was so beautiful.

If only we'd seen more of it - it was absolutely wonderful.

So beautiful!! Made me cry!!!!

what's the music playing in this video? i love it!

[leoninsf]

The music is from Spiegel Im Spiegel for Violin & Piano by composer Arvo Part

[dancering100]

do you know the music which is playing in the clip? as it is not spiegel im spiegel. thanks

[leoninsf]

Also, if you like this music, you can watch another contemporary piece called " Smoke-part 3" on youtube, danced by the famous ballerina Sylvie Guillem, choreographed by Mats Ek with the same Arvo Part's music that Christopher Wheeldon used in After the Rain Pas de Deux

@leoninsf why would anyone want to watch that unhappy clodhopper?

[leoninsf]

@BernardProfitendieu Which piece were you talking about: the After the Rain by Christopher Wheldon or Smoke by Mats Ek? You seems very difficult to please, and that's alright, everybody is different.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@leoninsf the unhappy clodhopper? I was talking about Sylvie Guillem, of course!

[leoninsf]

@BernardProfitendieu You called Sylvie Guillem an "unhappy clodhopper", maybe so. I don't think she cares of whatever you call her. Just like her, I dance what I like, I say NO or YES to whatever, whomever I feel like. That would make me an unhappy clodhopper too, at least I get to do what I love, not being told what to do is one's ultimate choice of freedom.

[BernardProfitendieu]

@leoninsf remind me: how exactly did the topic of this discussion turn out to be you, you, you? I must've missed a turn there

[leoninsf]

@BernardProfitendieu I've admired Sylvie Guillem, somehow I could connect my emotion to Sylvie's dancing in Smoke, I saw her at the Royal Ballet class when SFB was touring in London. You are entitled to call her whatever you want, and I am in turn entitled to disagree. So, perhaps we should end of our discussion here.
