The brooms at my home gets out of control everytime I play this.
Now that is funny !
atyourserviceable xD oh yes!
you're the lucky one I have to keep my appliances under control every time..... Oh crap the refrigerator got loose..... Come back! The casserole will spoil!
broom broom
+Andrew Scott Is your refrigerator running? Then you'd better go catch it!
I wish I could have heard this before Fanstasia, but now all I can think of are mops beating up Micky
+Msdaisycane Or the sorcerer washing the water away.
when i was little fantasia used to scare me
+Logan Campbell You're not alone on that.
Now it's one of my all-time favorite movies.
+Msdaisycane the real story is exactly what fantasia portrayed...with brooms...Sorcerer's apprentice is actually a ballad
You're absolutely right, the music brings me the face of Mickey Mouse with a big sorcerer's hat ,,, ,,, haha. Anyway the original music is that of a genius.
Another fun fact: If Dukas lived just 5 years longer, he would've been the second living composer to see Fantasia in the making, and I guarantee you that he would've been very proud to see Mickey Mouse playing in his composition.
Apparently, Dukas was very, very self-critical of his work, and consigned most of his compositions to the fireplace late in life. Fortunately for us (and for Mickey Mouse), this masterpiece survived.
Pretty sure he actually approved the scene. He was alive in the 1930s, he would have been around when Phantaisia was in pre-production and approved its usage. If muchof his works were burned, well Disney saved this one by liscencing it from him for Phantaisia. I may have not grown up with the animation and may just be a weirdo that likes classical music but thank you Walt in that case.
@@WillCMay Good point.
That scene added color to my interpretation.
I'm not sure Mickey is fortunate that this piece survived considering how he was treated during the segment by all of those brooms.
@@worldofhunter1636 Good point, considering how they walked all over Mickey and almost drowned him. Then again, I believe the moral of the story is that power is most useful in the hands of those who truly understand it, and those who try to use it without such understanding can find it swiftly turned against them.
Sometimes I'd always listen to this when doing chores. Especially if it has to do with sweeping with a broom.
and whoever invented the Bassoon should be given the Nobel Prize for music.
It seems to be a very practical solution.
Absolutely
Json Stott Well technically he can still receive one posthumously
No better way to put it.
The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast,
For he heard the loud bassoon.
I like humming this tune quietly next to some person, and then hearing them hours later still humming it. I do this on purpose and they are never sure how they got it stuck in their heads.
Guy Adler wicked!
Ingenious...
which part
And see which ones have the urge to sweep or carry water.

谢谢🙏
This is so magical !
I agree
I used to be terrified of this piece as a small child and hide behind the sofa whenever my parents played it. Love it now.
This was the FIRST piece of classical music I EVER heard!! My mom walked us into a record store and told me to have at it. This was one of 2 albums I chose at 4 years old. No, I didn't have clue...but it changed my life. Not just because I'm now a playwright, but because I have the acting, singing and other layers as well...
Fantasia was the best intro to classics but nothing can beat Peter and the wolf-especially with Bernstein.
It think it's highly likely that John William was heavily inspired by this piece when composing the score for the Harry Potter movies
The program music generally is the father of the filmscore.
So true
Not just HARRY POTTER. The "spell theme" from this piece is basically the Rebel Fanfare from STAR WARS
He definitely quotes parts of it for Star Wars
I also hear a lot of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" in here
This music is truly... MAGICAL.
Thank you, Paul Dukas and Walt Disney.
🎩🪄
And Leopold Stokowsky !!!
@@tellcolombo8549 how the hell do you read or understand this type of music? I like it but I don't bcuz I don't understand it.
One of the many inspirations of John Williams for sure
Wonderful pieces like this make me realize even more how much bassoons are under-appreciated
It’s all fun and games till you see your brooms walking with buckets of water.
😂
That Bassoon solo 2:20
Bassoon Saiyan What about the glockenspiel solo shortly after?
+Peter Oselador xD true
+Peter Oselador It's freaking hard! :p I think it was meant to be played on a keyboard glockenspiel. But yeah, one of my favorite parts, personally :)
Make me feel another music sang but i don't remind, frustration
3:20 I smell what would later influence John Williams.
6:00 starts the build up to my favorite part.
7:20 feels like that moment from the first major hill on a rollercoaster, just before you go over the edge.
This was possibly the world's very first infinite while loop.
+Petrus Laredes
else if {Epic argument = "detected"};
As both a software engineer and a musician, I laughed. Thank you.
Carbonated Water As a Internet Marketer, I laughed too, it makes me remember of those Ponzi Schemes.
i thought it was the song that never ends.
5:38 Those trumpets sound like a John Williams film score.
Right?!
100%
Osian Townsend Jones absolutely!! when i listen to it, somehow Uranus the magician by Holst comes to my mind...maybe Williams took ispiration from both😄
Hate to nitpick (that's not true at all), but John William's film scores sound like this, not the other way around
It’s bc he steals from old songs
I love songs like this that lets your imagination explode with ideas on your own story.
*Played in band class*
*Went to look it up*
*Found majesticality*
This piece of music is my all time favorite
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is forever my favourite from Fantasia!!
mine too.
I really like the mythology one and the night on bald mountain 🙌 but yes sorcerer apprentice is awesome
The piece is called the "Sorcerer's Apprentice", after all. Disney was a genius and this orchestral arrangement is magical.
I don’t mean to be a “Sherlock” or a “Captain Obvious” here, but Disney did not compose this song.
*+_ DonutMaster56 _* True, Disney was no composer, but seeing all the things he did and the impact he had on entertainment and animation (for an example, have a look at this: czcams.com/video/YdHTlUGN1zw/video.html ) I don't think it'd be incorrect to say that he was a kind of real-life magician.
@@GrahamChapman hearing this and then saying Disney is great. Paul Dukas is the great one.
@@firnomennescio4227 I'm not denying that. Disney would be nothing today without composers, be they some of history's greatest legends, or Disney's own "Merrie Melodies" composers. But Walt helped breathe a lot of life into the old classics.
Technically we have to hand it to the great Leopold Stokowski for conducting this for the film, but this version in the video is conducted by Irwin Kostal.
Amo essa sinfonia! É belíssima! Quando ouço parece que viajo a um lugar perfeito, fantasioso e mágico. Um lugar dos meus sonhos..
Sim
This, Bit of elgar, And williams creativity is what made the music of harry potter and star wars great
I imagine standing in the middle of San Diego Comic Con at Midnight when everything is closed for the night and nobody is around just putting on that Magic Hat to bring everything in the Con to life.
that's very specific but i quite like it!
i can imagine all of those 70s scfi creatures coming to life...
including da shiny 70s daleks
Mickey Mouse: Mr. Stokowski! Mr. Stokowski! My congratulations, sir!
Leopold Stokowski: Congratulations to you, Mickey!
Mickey Mouse: Gee, thanks! Hehe! Well, so long! I'll be seeing ya!
Leopold Stokowski: Goodbye!
I don't know of too many other conductors of Stokowski's stature who had the balls to share his podium with a talking cartoon mouse. Bravo, sir.
Mickey Mouse: Oh Donald Duck! **knocks on door**
Donald Duck: **answers the door** Who is it?
Mickey Mouse: Donald, it's me Mickey! You're on in 30 seconds! Hurry!
Donald Duck: WHAT?!? You've gotta be kidding me!
I still don't get why my school can afford new lockers every 5 years or so, but can't afford a freaking high quality bassoon!!!!
I mean, a good bassoon probably costs more than that anyway lol
It's a high quality bassoon. Orchestrational instruments can probably cost more than the cost it took to build your school.
Bc usually the band teacher buys it not the school .
Thanks again for this wonderful Treat.
Imagine 00:00-01:00 a large spacious study/laboratory were a young bored apprentice studies and where the old master is placing logs in the fireplace. 01:01-01:08 The master is casts a fire spell at the logs, the fire flashes and then soften. 01:09-01:44 The master speaks to his apprentice: My dear apprentice we need more firewood but sense I can see how focused on your studies I will gather it myself to night. and thus leave the room. 01:45-06:59 the apprentice jumps up and grabs the masters spell book from a table and starts to throw small simple spells then lager and more complex spells for every thrown spell. 07:00-08:00 The apprentice casts a all to complex spell and loses control so he starts to shriek in panic and horror. 08:01- 08:25 The master dashes in, takes a moment to grasp the chaotic situation and throws a spell great counter spell and cancel it out. 08:26-09:13 the master approaches the apprentice and say: I know you were eager but never foolish. you are good but some spell are way to complex for you to handle. never cast a spell without how knowing how to counter it! Now go and get us the fire wood while I clear up the worst of this mess you made. 09:15- 09:17 the master throws a lightning blot at the apprentice rear that makes him run.
This is literally the plot of the animation in Fantasia. Without the brooms...
Well that wasn't the point of the piece at all...
Please read a bit before commenting, The Sorcerer's Apprentice was originally a poem by Goethe, and the plot is... exactly that.
6:22 is my jam, reminds me of my kid years of watching fantasia
Playing horn for this on Monday, both excited and terrified
How did it go? Did you enjoy performing it?
Its a good part, we did it to the scene from Fantasia, so the tempo was rather excessive (substantially faster than this recording). Great concert!
I recently bought a large trough to use for ice baths in the morning. There is no better way to top it off with water than trotting back and fourth from the filling bathtub to the trough with this playing in the background.
i love your song !❤ you have the best song's! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This piece of music blows my mind every time.
My favourite piece of music, my sister bought Ravels Bolero this was on the flip side.
Also at school we went to see an orchestra at a bigger school, this was the fanale, hooked ever since.
i love the first part with the glockenspiel in it! it’s a very popular excerpt for percussion auditions.
You know? Disney did an extremely good job with this piece in fantasia. I still imagine broomsticks when I hear this song.
I've never seen Fanstasia, but god damn. This song is beautiful. First time hearing it. Thank you once again, TheWickedNorth!
That's why I remember this. Awesome dude.. we're both awesome..
essa música é a melhor música clássica que eu já ovi em toda minha vida
Simply wonderful!
Thanks for uploading!
Fabb piece of fun. Havent heard it played in full since I was a kid at Primary School.
Great orchestra.
Thanks for all your hard work uploading all this lovely music.
simply magnificent
The "plot" comes from an old Chassidic tale, a golem is brought to life
i read somewhere that Dukas didn't like "tone poems"/"music that tells a story", wrote this for a bet, and expected it to flop!
and in Fantasia, the narrator says that Tchaikovsky excepted The Nutcracker to flop!
Yes, I used to play it. Is better to learn it and then go with it, but it sounds awesome! It is what makes that particular part magical.
me donne invariablement le sourire !
Truly magical...
Beautiful.
You provide a very good point. In my opinion, though, there ARE people who look deeper into music like this, and the reason why is that Fantasia was the only way they could first hear classical music. (It even has those comentaries between the music about the composers and such, so people know who created them.)
It's better to hear about Dukas and the Sorcerer's Apprentice from SOMETHING instead of never hearing about it at all. I learned about this music from Fantasia, and I'm forever grateful.
I know it feels sacrilegious but I agree better to hear it somehow than not at all👍
Oh... The nostalgia, fantasia is so awesome.
I played the full version at the weekend and it went amazing :)
You're amazing. Thanks for this information
I think John Williams have found a lot of inspiration in Dukas's music.
Another piece of music that's been stuck to my head for several years without me knowing what the hell it was...
...I first heard this ca 1956/57 on a promotional record (still have) from Cooper Alloys that features this as the intro to a version of Carrol's "The Walrus & the Carpenter" discussing the manufacture of items using hot metals & sand molds...a great introduction to music & poetry from a very young , impressionable boy.... I'm 73 now and need to digitalize the record and preserve it...one of those small inconsequential, forgoten promo records of the early post war era.
I tapped my foot the whole time I listened to this. I guess that comes from being a musician, and because this is GREAT! :D
that is one wild piece of orchestration!
Mystical and fantastic in so many ways. No matter where our connection to this meaningful piece comes from, we are mesmerized by it everytime.🎯🎵🎶🪄🌌🌅 Stay safe everyone!
I noticed the video's quality looks much better than it used to be.
hey man thank u so many much!! i love u keep the good work!!!
There's parts in there that remind me of Star Wars...
+BarneySaysHi I don't know how John Williams will take that. Mr Williams?
+BarneySaysHi Where?
+BarneySaysHi That's because John Williams and several other film score composers took inspiration from music like this one. Another example would be "The Planets" by Holst, especially the first movement (Mars).
1:46
That's it
the augmented triad given form and perfection
Melodia fantástica.
Try to listen to this and not see Mickey Mouse darting al over the screen in his Merlin outfit, I dare you. It's impossible I say.
So true... I couldn't hahaha.
I couldn't too... Now I see Mickey Mouse everywhere >
I've never seen the movie so I'm okay xD
Not Me i see my marching band LOL.
Herman Hakvoort
It's called Fantasia.
Kocham ten utwór...
Today I´m going to listen to this live! =)!
magic music
I love dukas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The description of the composer states “he was intensely self-critical”. I feel that, brother.
i'm playing this with my basson. it's awesome
I love this music and I once danced to it
I could only imagine. Almost had to learn it once.
I can imagine every scene in this song.
Brilliant piece of music gotta play it loud like Hells Bells
ACDC
simplemente bello y hermoso

Piporindo the Manatee In some cases.
Thanks. I'm on it.
t h a n k s ! ! !
It is so relaxing
When I heard this piece in the movie THE SOCERER'S APPENTICE a major light bulb went off in my head. I knew I heard the name before but just couldn't put my finger on it!!! Go Micky! I hope you learned your lesson :)
I haven't seen Fantasia since I was, like, six, but it's still hard not to visualize brooms coming to life when I hear this song.
So classic
Sublime.
58 people were beaten up by mops
Ha ha, underrated comment.
3 yo comment uh
Fun fact: The version playing right now is the Irwin Kostal Re-recording of Fantasia from 1982......
2:07 the opening to TheArtOf99’s video Baby Picasso All About The Arts
awesomenessss
My favorite part begins at 3:50 and ends at 5:10 there is such harmony in the orchestra and the music really is amazing
I love this amazing 'song'. i play bassoon and i'm really happy we have wonderful parts like this ^^
Bassoon Power!!!
and the contra-bassoon so cool!
you are so wise.
This definitely influenced John Williams in many ways.
This piece is so bloody hard on the woodwinds! Whenever I play the oboe part, I find myself crying inside. o-o
Absolutely fun piece, albeit ridiculously difficult for the woodwinds.
I can also only imagine how difficult it is for the strings to maintain composure at around 7:15. That kind of massed instrumental whirlwind seems extremely rare in classical music.
@@vreschen939 You think the woodwinds and strings have it hard? Get a load of the low brass (bass trombone) part playing the melody forte at the end flourish and the wicked glockenspiel part toward the beginning. The bassoon part is really not that difficult by comparison.
@@thejils1669 Well, I understand that, but I was just referring to the strings.
@@vreschen939 I was trying to maintain the initial subject thread regarding how difficult this piece is, arguably for everyone.
This is a very cool song
Every time I hear this I think of Mickey Mouse and Fantasia.
sooo nostalgic :´)
Anyone think that Sorcerer's Apprentice and Night on Bald Mountain would be Disney exclusives?
wow
i love you
Brain needed this: Thanks.
love it :D
