@Priceless201 It's a very fun piece to play. I use to play by ear when I first heard it back in high school. One of the other students got the part to play it. I was jealous XD
ok, as much as I love Sir Roger Moore, the ending of the last movement doesn't make much sense unless it flows right into this one. But I guess it's okay for Bond to interrupt.
It's such an amazing piece, but I hate those freaking lyrics! Saint-Saens must be rolling around in his grave knowing that his work is being partially tainted by that juvenile junk
i know the lyrics its listen to the bones listen to the bones listen to the sound of the rattling bones (repeat) pirates are such scardy cats pirates are such scardy cats
(repeat chorus ) (out comes captain james if you have heard the story) (he leaves)
Lol, that violinist on the left is seriously whipping her hair back and forth. The character and energy that this group has is really amazing. They truly make the music come to life :) (pun not intended, but now that I've noticed it, I feel quite clever)
They are by Ogden Nash.. at least I'm sure all the animal poems are.. I looked through his collections to find them all. I have yet to find them all in one location though..
How anyone in all the world can dislike this is beyond my comprehension. It never fails to make me smile just to hearing the opening bars. Anyone who can sit still without a grin when hearing this piece must have a heart of stone as not even the inactive musicians and members of the audiences are practically dancing.
@KingofKlubs Its ridiculous how committed people are you making sure there are dislikes on videos, it's a shame how lifeless people are. Who cares though, especially when you have this wonderful music to listen to.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Flatass privileged straight white christian males choose other flatass privileged straight white christian males along with a handful of extremely talented Asians so the flatasses can say they have "persons of Color" in the orchestra (in a divide and conquer strategy). This is fake diversity. Black folk are vastly underrepresented in euro classical orchestras and need to play 100x better to be picked. It's typical ameriKKKan racism all over again.
@dawg00000 Sort of like how it's harder for a white guy to become a major rap artist, ya think?
Different races have different strengths and weaknesses in any area you choose to name. We're not "all the same under the skin" whatever post-1970's liberal dogma has to say.
@mpleleaf54 God that is one great lack of respect for culture you have there! Do NOT EVER comment about freakin' Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber on a piece as great as this one. May I repeat, not ever. If I knew how, I'd underline that. Btw, I'm into metal too, next to classical music. .\m/
@iSMASHYERHEAD no im saying first there was Lady Gaga, who is apparantly making a huge stir over not very good music. then justin beiber who is a good singer but horrible person, and a bunch of losers keep telling us this that metal is better than this! im not saying classical music is horrible, i love classical music.
and when i mean "now this" i mean that idiots are leaving horrible comments on such great work! just wanted to clear things up.
i was once reading a book that said in the future, a boy will pick up a book in the trash and go, "What is this object?"
I think you all get why. Same thing with music. The Beatles lived a while ago. They played music for 14 HOURS STRAIGHT in Germany and word spread about them across the world. Their music still lives on today. Metal has one, AND I MEAN ONLY ONE, common thing with classical: they will live on forever until the world gets too close to the sun and burns to a crisp.
@KAZVorpal Ogden Nash wrote a series of poems to accompany the piece in a Columbia Masterworks recording. Originally, Noel Coward recited them. It is a longtime tradition to have these poems recited, or to include the poetry in the program notes when Carnival of the Animals is performed. I am sorry to hear you were unaware of this occasional delight, and that you would diminish both the tradition, and Nash's excellent and witty poetry.
will you all just shut up. who cares what kind of music is better. rap is as best as classical. classical music will eventually get old but SO WILL rap and country and retro and techno all the genres of music will be extinct in a long while. who really cares about whos in first place? just enjoy the music
@mpleleaf54, hip-hop will never become moribund like euro classical. Artists like DMX, Snoop and Soulja Boy will be famous for thousands of years like the African King Tut,and saint saens will be relegated to the dustbin of history--perhaps a footnote or two at the most. mozart gets several more footnotes.
@dawg00000 Do I have to choose one or the other, the romantic era of music or the newer hip-hop? Can I not enjoy both? Or as a person of color am I not allowed to like Charles-Camille Saint-Saëns?
@hissywhistles, Certainly it is possible to enjoy guilty pleasures like euro classical. However, the mature taste in you will affirm the overwhelming brilliance of the subtleties of hip-hop.
So, judging by the description, is the musical resemblance to Danse Macabre intentional? Not a sarcastic question, just curious if there's deliberate quotation in here, that xylophone's playing some very familiar notes.
Listen, you euro classical fetishists: You fail to see the subtlety of the greatest musical and poetical genre invented in world history, hip-hop. You're just looking at the superficial apects of it. As your musical taste matures beyond the infantile stage (i.e., euro classical), you'll start to totally accept my view and the view of young people around the world. People of Color now dominate the ears of most young people on this planet except for the ignorant.
You are commenting on this video because you watch it, then? If you hate it so much, then why don't you just leave it alone? Is having a musical preference in the romantic era such a sin to you? If so, leave this forum, and enjoy your own musical preference. Preach to people that agree with you, instead of into a crowd of dissenters.
@ilike12and4, The crowd of dissenters to which you refer so lovingly needs some diversity to challenge their immature, pretentious musical taste in euro classical.
@dawg00000 Lovingly? psshhh. ok. And immature? You have certainly never tried composing anything in your life. Pretentious? You are a bombast. Expand your vocabulary and be concise. And, diversity is quite common in classical music, as it constantly evolves from era to era. Also, you don't know how diverse Europe is. Look it up.
Nice song, too bad you can't watch them play it since it looks they're all bobble-heads with all the shaking going on. Expression's one thing, drama's another.
shut ur a hole dawg00000 u suck just like those other rap lovers. leave this page and stop mad-mouthing classical music. listen to ur rap crap and leave us to our peace. classical music geniuses are the smartest people since mozart and beetovens time. -.- *betches*
@mpleleaf54, The young people of the world (with certain few exceptions of those who are brainwashed) recognize that euro classical is moribund, the nostalgia of privileged boring straight white christian males. Hip-hop culture has conquered the minds of your children and old white folk can do squat about it. This euro music has all the class of Muhammad's (SAAW) farts rising up and reaching Arsh, causing Allah to accidentally fart and create a void between Allah and others in heaven.
@dawg00000 The young people of the world today also believe that they should invest enormous amounts of time on facebook. I fail to see your logic. Are you saying just because a lot of people are doing something, that makes it right? Like you know, lynching in the 19th and 20th century America? Give it 30 years, I'll guarantee you hip-hop will be as outdated as metal rock.
@SoulTrii, If a lot of young people were listening to euro classical, you'd be trumpeting it to the masses. Only some boring privileged straight white christian males and some brainwashed Asians listen to it and/or play it. In 30 years hip-hop's rich diversity will rule the planet.
WILL ALL THOSE MOTHER ######## SHUT THEIR BIG MOUTHS. THIS IS THE BEST PIECE OF CLASSICAL MUSIC IVE EVER HEARD. THAT "RAP CRAP" WILL BE GONE BY THE TIME YOU DIE. BUT CLASSICAL MUSIC WILL LIVE FOREVER. MOZART LIVED IN THE 16 HUNDREDS AND PEOPLE STILL LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC TODAY! SO GO HOME, LOCK UR SELVES IN YOUR HOUSE, AND LISTEN TO ALL THAT RAP JUNK all those rappers have bad reputations. classical music has never been dissed EVER only by betches. CLASSICAL MUSIC SHALL RULE! :D
Yes, this is a humoristic masterpiece of Saint-Saens parodying himself ("La Danse Macabre"). The composer is a genius but here, the musicians are trying to show how classical music could be a hobbie not boring at all. These head movements are typical in that kind of movie (especially with J-S Bach melodies) but I agree... it's RIDICULUS because music doesn't need that to be wonderful.
@flobrin11 Why should it ever be ridiculous to love to play music?
I have to grin every time I hear the xylophone (is that the percussive instrument at the beginning? not sure)...exactly what I think fossils would sound like if they danced! So funny!
I like this part of the carnival very much, it nearly seems to hear the bones of the fossils knocking together: Saint-Saens was very clever at choosing the xylophone for that kind of sound.
Jazz is not negro musc--it's music written and performed by African musicians who have infinitely more soil than musicians like Bozo the brilloheaded cellist.
I discovered Saint-Saens with a shellac 78 recorded in 1934, it was his Danse Macabre which took up both sides of the record. I had to crank the spring in the record player in the middle of each side to keep it spinning. Since then I've found a lot of his works and adored them all. Every once in a while I go against my vow to stop playing the Victrola and save all my records for future preservation and listen to it just for the memory of that first day I listened to it back in 1996 when I was 5
@ViktorDragmire, You're wasting your time with these boring privileged straight white christian males. Even Jeezy has more authenticity than saint-saens.
@dawg00000 Obviously you ARE a blithering moron.. Who listens to POINTLESS Ephemera.. Get an education your stupidity is showing and you embarrass the rest of us.. There is room for Jayzee's CRAP and Saint-Saens BRILLIANCE but no room for you or yours..
@zahzuh, Jeezy and Lil Wayne are not ephemera and will live far longer than privileged boring straight white christian males like beethoven. He is truly the evanescent one in the grand scale of history as we're seeing right now with young people.
@dawg00000 YO DIPSHIT!! Beethoven Has 200 fucking years worth of fans and performers and STILL counting.Saint Saens Is OVER one hundred.. Beat that fucktard!! Oh yeah you can't.. Your idocy is amusing.. Cheezy and Lil Illiterit may appeal to the illiterati and just may make it into the future. But like DISCO before it will merely be a pathetic statement of the times in which it was hocked up and spat out on the public... LA COMEDIA SE FINITO!!!
@zahzuh, beethoven and those other boring privileged straight white christian males have had their 15 minutes+ of fame and now they're rolling over. The vast majority of young people today care far more about hip hop than moribund euro classical. euro classical will have some antiquarian interest of course in the future, but it will be relegated to the dustbin of history (and admittedly a few footnotes)--exactly where it belongs. Good riddance.
@dawg00000, I must say that your immaturity shows through in every word you've written. Every historical precedent would suggest that, while modern music has shining stars that glow brilliantly for a few years before fading, the smoldering brilliance of the classical composers has never been in dispute, except by uneducated children such as yourself. Zahzuh, thank you for being the voice of reason here. While I may not have phrased my response quite as you have, I cannot argue your logic.
@jbay1847, euro classical composers are forced upon young people in schools. They continue to live only because of white hegemony. As Communities of Color increase (with the exception of brainwashed Asians) and euro-ameriKKKans decrease euro classical will die, slower among some young Asians who are brainwashed by their parents.
Ah. Unfortunately for you, I am a half-black senior in high school. I'm afraid I've never experienced this "white hegemony" that you speak of, however. I'm quite sure that I am neither a "euro-ameriKKKan" nor a "brainwashed Asian." In fact, (as long as my parents are not lying to me about my race) I am a part of the "community of color " which you mention. Perhaps you could think of more mildly amusing ways in which to insult classical music? Debunking your preposterous beliefs is rather amusing
@dawg00000 What do you have against classical music? If you think other cultural music should be taught in schools, you should petition for it. Classical music is art, it stands separate from race, colour, or creed. A true artist has appreciation for music from all over the world.
@literaturechick12, euro classical is the music of the oppressor. Schools should be teaching the music of richly diverse cultures and avoiding the oppressive culture of boring privileged straight white christian males. euro classical should be relegated to the dustbin of history, replaced by titanically brilliant composers like Miles, although a few like bach and mahler should be given at least a footnote for trying.
Are you actually aware of how stupid you sound. Yes classical music is MAINLY written by white privaleged males. You condemning it on those grounds is no better than condemning jazz as 'negro' music, gospel as 'bible bashing' music, rap as 'murderers' music, pop as 'brainless kiddy music', blues as 'alcoholic' music, reggae as 'stoner' music and so forth. Classical music is the basis of all western music and therefore easily fits into the whole musical spectrum nicely.
@dawg00000 What the hell is so oppressing about this song? Oh god, Saint-Saëns poking fun at an old French songs and integrating compositions from his older works is oppressing jazz music everywhere!
@vanillaorchidflower, white folk are listening to this boring soulless palaver when they should be listening to Aretha and Miles as do Communities of Color (with the exception of the sold-my-soul sellouts).
@vanillaorchidflower, If you can't hear the empty, sterile, pale sounds like the rest of the euro classical fetishists on these euro classical channels, give it up.
@dawg00000 That's a cop-out answer. How soulless is a song poking fun at old french songs while incorporating an earlier work that was inspired by an old folktale? What makes Communities of Color have 'soul' in their music?
@vanillaorchidflower, Communities of Color were born with soul. Watch the smoothness in all their activities as opposed to the awkwardness of straight white christian males. The latter can acquire it but only through painstaking study under the guidance of a master, i.e. a person of Color.
@dawg00000 wow... i ama person of color too, but do you know why i listen to classical music and other types such as pop, jazz, country, and old time fiddle to name a few. because i like it. music is played and created for entertainment, not as a method of oppression.it is really immature to hold onto hate and close your mind to other things. calling this soulless is arrogant. if this is not your scene then kindly leave. you are truly racist and society does not need another hitler
@dawg00000 you're similar to hitler in many ways. you hate another culture, you are arrogant, close minded, would like them to lose their culture. but the thing is the world will move on without you and you will die a miserable death. oh and fyi.i am an atheist indian canadian who listens to classical music, but would never hold it above any other type of music because music is not set in stone, each to their own.
@allannalla420 Thanks to you and Glenn Beck for the argumentum ad Hitlerum pose. When a person compares someone with whom she disagrees to Hitler, the person has immediately lost the argument.
Okay, you're Stalin who killed far more than Hitler--no, wait, you're Mao--he killed more...
@dawg00000 wow you are thick headed. i was talking about how the arrogance of your racism puts you into the same category of hitler. i wasn't talking about killing. you can't fool yourself. you agree perfectly with hitler, just replace jewish with white. you wish to erase a culture becuase yours is "superior", you can't deny it, you are a little hitler.
@allannalla420, I don't want to erase privileged straight white christian male culture. Rather, I subvert it by convincing people WITH WORDS that this music is boring, just as a film critic wishes to convince her readership that a movie is a waste of time, not to erase or censor the movie. I don't want to forcibly end euro classical channels, but just convince that they waste time versus channels about James Brown, Miles, Aretha, i.e. music that keeps it real. So MY WORDS = Auschwitz?
@dawg00000 well... quoting you... "Schools should be teaching the music of richly diverse cultures and avoiding the oppressive culture of boring privileged straight white christian males. euro classical should be relegated to the dustbin of history, replaced by titanically brilliant composers like Miles"
@dawg00000 I like your logic. Not your opinion so much. Really though, why don't you just join the debate class and debate on James Brown. Would you tell me who that is? Don't mistake me, I like music from all sorts, even, like Kesha if it amuses me, ya know? Also, maybbe if you come back to this in a few years, it might sound good. Suggestion?
@dawg00000 it's only soulless because it's not by some black person? As if you know, the music of today isn't basically the same with more modern instruments. just because you know big words doesn't mean you know what the f*** you're talking about. But it nice to see that you dedicate so much of your time to defending your Youtube trolling
@dawg00000 it's called sarcasm. the music that you expound as "soulful" is the exactly the same as the music of the "euro-american" culture. believe it or not, most music is built on a set of music theory that doesn't really change all that often. C major will always be seem like a happy, upbeat key, and so on and so forth. That being said, the music of today has many similarities with the music of yesteryear, just with different instruments.
@dawg00000 also, the fact that you say that people "can be redeemed" and have strayed from the path is very much a "euro-american" attitude. No other culture tries to get converts more than the culture you obviously despise, yet you yourself try to act like some great redeemer who will bring the ignorant masses back into the light. Therefore, accept that others, though they may be misled, have accepted and chosen their own paths, because there must be merit in what they do.
@SoulTrii, white folk stole the idea of redemption from the oral traditions of Peoples of Color and appropriated it, as they do with all the ideas stolen from People of Color.
@dawg00000 And Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian Gods and gave it to man. Seriously, no one gives a flaming fuck where someone appropriated an idea from. I can make the case that James Brown stole the idea of harmonies from the white man. And there's no need for you to argue this point, since music theory as it pertains to today started in Europe.
@dawg00000 Whatever dude. I amused myself for a bit arguing with you, but since I understand it's very easy to just make up shit on the internet, I'm not going to continue on this vein anymore. The longevity of a genre or a canon is the result of people demanding that it be part of formal education, i.e., Plato's Republic , Aristotle's Politics. While you could make the case that it's the white man pushing the white man agenda, I see nothing wrong with it.
@dawg00000 considering that most of the modern world's advancements come due to the education, resources and abilities of "the white man". "Culture" ruling the planet is nothing more than a lame alternative for a people that can't do it otherwise through intellectual and political might.
As a parting note, history is written by the victors, so no one gives a hoot that shit "was stolen" from Africa. Shouldn't have been the European powers' bitch back in the day.
@SoulTrii, white folk advancement is due to violence (which you and many other white folk typically celebrate with your repugnant european powers comment), imperialism and theft, period. Hip-hop culture ruling the world is due to young white folk along with Communities of Color choosing it. The youth see the future, while elderly white folk like you are blind to it.
@dawg00000 First off, it's rather presumptuous to assume that i'm white. I'm black (see what i did there?). Second, it's pathetic of you for saying hip-hop "will rule the world", as if any form of music ever "ruled" the world. Third, I'm sure the violence and drug abuse that came along with the rise of early hip-hop and rap is so much better than traditional warfare violence.
just because your epeen is big doesn't mean in real life it is.
@dawg00000 so making a coherent a well thought out argument, as well as typing it out with relatively good grammar makes me "privileged", "white" and "Christian"? no wonder you and those like you (trolls) will continue to do nothing but snap at the heels of the society that left you behind. Good day!
@dawg00000 You truly are a dumb ignorant cunt of the highest order.
Cunt's like you who have barely a brain cell to rub together are the sort who compare graffiti to a canvas painted by Rembrandt or a mud hut to Cologne Cathedral for example.
Science has shown western classical music to be the most advanced form of music ever created and obviously far too difficult for a piece of thick shit like you to comprehend.
@takharov, Thank you for your kind comments. You're welcome. I hope your children (and even your mum) or any childen of yours in the future read your comments for inspiration. You are a role model of the highest order for them.
@dawg00000 It doesn't matter where it originated. You clearly like to use the internet, despite it originating from the "white man". It's how you use it. Evidently you can't get that into your thick skull. You attribute anything the masses adore to truth. 70 years ago, the majority of America thought blacks were second class citizens. Would you say they were right? Protip: logical fallacies don't actually make your arguments better.
@SoulTrii, That was ameriKKKa who STILL thinks people of Color are second class citizens. It's young people all over the WORLD that recognizes hip-hop's supreme brilliance. Evidently you can't get that into your thin cranium.
@dawg00000 And there are young people around the WORLD that recognize classical music as supreme brilliance. See what I did there? Again, your mother never taught you anything about making a logically sound statement.
@SoulTrii, Yes, a few brainwashed young people (even some young people of Color who should know better) around the world listen to euro classical--a handful in comparison to the billions that thrive on the greatest genre ever invented by people of Color, nay human beings--hip-hop.
@dawg00000 then let them go on thriving on hip-hop. I couldn't care less. O wait, I could and I will. I don't have an issue with hip-hop. same with classical music. I have a problem with people like you. And you know what, I don't really care about you either. Those who know their place in the world will always find a way to succeed, and those who do nothing but complain will always fail. Someday when you are shining my shoes for me, I hope you understand that.

i was once reading a book that said in the future, a boy will pick up a book in the trash and go, "What is this object?"
I think you all get why. Same thing with music. The Beatles lived a while ago. They played music for 14 HOURS STRAIGHT in Germany and word spread about them across the world. Their music still lives on today. Metal has one, AND I MEAN ONLY ONE, common thing with classical: they will live on forever until the world gets too close to the sun and burns to a crisp.

@KAZVorpal Ogden Nash wrote a series of poems to accompany the piece in a Columbia Masterworks recording. Originally, Noel Coward recited them. It is a longtime tradition to have these poems recited, or to include the poetry in the program notes when Carnival of the Animals is performed. I am sorry to hear you were unaware of this occasional delight, and that you would diminish both the tradition, and Nash's excellent and witty poetry.

@mpleleaf54, hip-hop will never become moribund like euro classical.

Yes, this is a humoristic masterpiece of Saint-Saens parodying himself ("La Danse Macabre"). The composer is a genius but here, the musicians are trying to show how classical music could be a hobbie not boring at all. These head movements are typical in that kind of movie (especially with J-S Bach melodies) but I agree... it's RIDICULUS because music doesn't need that to be wonderful.

Are you actually aware of how stupid you sound. Yes classical music is MAINLY written by white privaleged males.

Classical music is the basis of all western music and therefore easily fits into the whole musical spectrum nicely.
