This is the second decent movie from my theory class @ piano camp. It's excerpts from Berlioz's Symphony Fantastique, put to video. In essence, the "artist" takes a non-lethal dose of opium and hallucinates that he is being marched to the scaffold and executed.

  • This is great! I love the smile ball at the end! Nice video!

  • @gestrumpet He was high when he wrote this piece

  • @CriaSunshine

    There is speculation that Berlioz himself did lots of drugs.

  • The story behind the song: This dude fell in love with a girl. At a ball, he goes to confess his love, but she's with another man. He gets depressed, takes opium, gets high, and slips into a coma. He dreams being judged and executed. (this movement) Then the Witches' Sabbath (google it) is the next movement. I like after his head gets chopped off (by a guillotine, actually), You can hear the plopping of the head into the basket. Gross, but true.

  • was I hallucinating or was the guy doing coke at the beginning?

  • ahah, very nice! bravi

  • haha this is pretty funny. Playing this song in my band class so i thought i would check out a few recordings.

  • haha. this was really funny^^

    we just finished learning about Berlioz in my music theory class as well

  • well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This a great song, i've loved it since I was way younger. And the story line you guys chose is way to close to what the orginal ballet/symphony but yours has holes and the head drop didn't go with the music like it was supposed to. But you guys are young as far as i can tell and you still did an alright job.
