Tchaikovsky - The Forest Of Fir Trees In Winter

[rainwalker93]

makes me think of a fairytale <3

[TotheCrossiCling]

What version of nutcracker is this from?

[UnionSquirrel]

I love you TheWickedNorth! <3

[UpSky2]

The Tchaikovskian motif, or manner, is such a familiar part of our cultural background, that some of it cropping up in composed music (such as the Stargate theme) is a natural thing enough.

Be it noted that the resemblance is in a few chord progressions - the beginning of the Stargate theme is pseudo-Egyptian-sounding, which is a manner Tchaikovsky never indulged in even once, that I know of! - or not? I would be interested to hear of any such instance of Tchaikovsky-Egyptian music.

[BenderThaMagnificent]

@UpSky2 Ha I thought I recognized some of that melody.

TheWickedNorth....what a wonderful gift you share! Thank you!

[thpjhr2]

Yep, he stole this from SG-1... just like Holst stole from John Williams

I love this peice and it is real hard to choreograph

[miepdetruus]

it's funny how classical music takes over your life when u get into it

[indoorin]

Why does this song remind me of the theme song for Stargate SG-1?

[AKAArzosah]

@indoorin YES oh my god I was just thinking that! Around 2:10 I was like 'Huh? Stargate?!'

[indoorin]

@AKAArzosah I know I'm almost finished with Sg-1 and I've seen every episode of the spin offs, but I gots ta say SGA is my favorite by far.

[AKAArzosah]

@indoorin Mine too :) I liked SGU for the first season, but as with a lot of shows like that (that focus more on characters than story and cool sci-fi tech) I just lost interest inbetween seasons.

@heca906

I have to agree with joki, Stargate is the first thing I heard... I think they had the great taste of ripping off Tchaikovsky.

[jokijarvi]

hah this is the main theme from Stargate - the movie!

haha - this is a real steal

[heca906]

@jokijarvi

It's not the same as the Stargate opening theme. Good movie though. There's more truth to it than you'd care to believe.

[JA268]
