"Garland Waltz" from Sleeping Beauty

Garland Waltz is the first dance in Act one of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece Ballet, Sleeping Beauty. It's peformed here by the Ballet Company of The Kirov Theater (now back to the Tsarist name Mariinsky.) We see some younguns here too from the world famous "Vaganova Ballet Academy" which is also based at the Kirov/Mariinsky.

The music "Garland Waltz" must be one of Tchaikovsky's most famous works, so beautiful it can bring tears to the eyes. And to add to the treat, it is followed by the wonderful "Rose Adagio!"

Irina Kolpakova is Princess Aurora, Sergei Berezhnoi is Prince Desiree, and Lubov (Love) Kunakova is the Lilac Fairy.

Everytime I hear this song, I can STILL hear the words "I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream..."

Ah... I remember playing a strings-only arrangement of this in middle school (12-13 years ago), and it was simply gorgeous (once the bass and second violins could get the waltz background 1 2-3 to sound elegant)... and for Disney to have written Once Upon A Dream to this, they realized how the kids would enjoy the great song and the adults might recognize the tune from the ballet. Saved them a little work and created one of their most memorable songs in the process.
