  • @harmonyvegan
    @harmonyvegan 5 років тому +143

    The final movement features a four-part structure, which Berlioz described in his own program notes from 1845 as follows:
    "He sees himself at a witches' Sabbath, in the midst of a hideous gathering of shades, sorcerers and monsters of every kind who have come together for his funeral. Strange sounds, groans, outbursts of laughter; distant shouts which seem to be answered by more shouts. The beloved melody appears once more, but has now lost its noble and shy character; it is now no more than a vulgar dance tune, trivial and grotesque: it is she who is coming to the Sabbath… Roar of delight at her arrival… She joins the diabolical orgy… The funeral knell tolls, burlesque parody of the Dies Irae, the dance of the witches. The dance of the witches combined with the Dies Irae."

She played this theme on a synthesizer -- this is the music you hear in the opening scene of The Shining!

    Taking into account that this piece is meant to illustrate a Witch's Sabbath, it's arbitrary, if not semantic, how the version of the Dies Irae for the opening credits to "The Shining" substitutes witches with Native American (women) chanting in the background before we hear them screaming.
    Then again, it could just be generic witches instead.

      Sean Lightowler but of course Stanley Kubrick created so much hidden meaning throughout the film an act to defend the Native American Indians who were in actuality almost driven into extinction by men as if it was a "witch Hunt". So I think he meant every piece of music he chose. He's so good at that whole thing "if it wouldve been a snake ..... after all he did fake the .... .......

      The bankers and their cronies; corrupt corporate CEOS and their cronies; oil and energy CEOS and their cronies; corrupt techies (Silicon Valley, Palo Alto; India; Switzerland; Czech Republic; etc); corrupt politician scum; corrupt bureaucrat scum; corrupt governments officials and their corrupt lapdogs (policemen); non-drug black market operatives (child traffickers for the elite); mercenaries with allegiances or connections to the corrupt scum (assassins without morale); royalty families and lineages; trash entertainment industry CEOS and their secret societies; nation traitors (those that get bribed to attend pseudo-politicians speeches and so on); *any corrupt scum* with power like multibillionaires and *anyone* capable of pulling an *ATTEMPT* on someone's life like they did with Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Seth Rich, Milton William Cooper, the son of the judge Esther Salas, Andrew Breitbart, David Kelly and so on.
