Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!! This is brilliant. It's brought to light a lot of the psychological undercurrents I previously experienced while watching the Care Bears.
uh yes there is. this song is composed from the tragedy of hiroshima and the video is composed of happy things like the care bears. it is ironic that the video shows happy images when the music creates horrific and macabre pictures in ur mind
Only if you are a stereotypically programmed, homogeneous clone. I am sure it was not composed from, but rather the score was made to accompany edited majoritarian visual stock from the atrocity/genocide caused by Little Boy/Fat Man - there's histories, not one history
the score was not specifically written to visualize anything. It was actually written by the polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki and was originally composed without a title. It was only after he had heard it performed that he gave it the title "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima"
And while I am at it: Care Bears (just one example) exploit and manipulate children to consume with a delusional happy-go-lucky world, warping their sense of self and others - it is not a happy thing, but speculative and cynical, just for profit - educational only in the most shallow way, so yeah -there is no irony here
this piece was composed as a study of different sounds 52 string instruments could make. the name was given subsequently by someone who heard it performed. nothing to do with hiroshima or anything else really. just sound.
The Polish national radio symphony orchestra, conducted by the man himself. It's taken from a CD called Matrix 5. Could also provide you with some information on the care bear creators.
Not sure if it was intentional, but there are certain moments of this song that go with the image... like there is a really heavy percussive "boom" after a long pause at the exact time the jumping monkies board game pops. It happens a couple other times too...
@spinatjunge Intentional by whom? Penderecki or the care bear animators?
LMFAO!!!
Reminds me of the people who think Pink Floyd lined 'DSOTM' up to go with 'Wizard Of Oz' without realising that MGM studios had a time machine which took them to 1973 and back lol :-)
Not intensional but coinsidential. The instances when the horrifying music seems to correspond with the cartoon or commercials provide some of the funniest moments. The part with the Bratz dolls was absolutely inspired.
ive got to say, its quite the political statement, but honestly, who here has this on his playlist? this music kinda sucks i think (at least the shrills, other parts are quite interesting).
I actually saw this played life by an orchestra about 3 years ago with a video of the Hiroshima victims, and I can honestly say I've never been more moved and equally disturbed at the same time. Out of all the people I spoke to afterwards I was the only one who had connected with it, everyone else just said it was drivvle...
This piece was actually not origionally called "Threnody for the Victoms of Hiroshima" It was named that as an afterthought. Hiroshima wasn't the composer's origional imagery for the piece. Learned that in Music History.
I have had music inspire me in many ways: anger, inspiration, sadness, and etc. never has any piece of music driven me to an absolute level of terror like this one has.
My music class thought this was either funny or terrifying, we can't decide. Not to belittle the attack on Hiroshima, but Pendereski only added the dedication as an afterthought to increase his chances of winning a composition competition...
That's what it says in my Norton Anthology of Western Music (ed. by J. Peter Burkholder & Claude V. Palisca).
Of course, it doesn't say the why behind tacking the title on, but it does say that he did indeed rename the piece from 8'37" to "Threnody: To the Victims of Hiroshima" after he had composed and released the piece.
OK, my music class was trying to find a recording of this on Youtube, and since the other version had porn or something, it was blocked. So we clicked on this version, and of COURSE we all started laughing at the Care Bears. HOWEVER, it would be really nice if you could post another version sans-Care Bears... some of my relatives died in the bombing of Hiroshima, and I'm not offended personally, but I'd imagine some people could be very offended by the not-terribly-appropriate juxtaposition.
The other video doesn't have any porn, it features a sequence of horrible images displaying Hiroshima victims. This version may seem a lot more suitable, but I found it way too scary, so this was the whole point for me in doing this thing at all. However, any suggestions for a third version?
Oh, my bad. I guess I just assumed it was porn because our school computers blocked it... but images of Hiroshima victims would be even more disturbing.
Umm... can't think of any suggestions for a third one, but if I do I'll tell you! :)
It would have been better with the teletubbies.
