    Camille Saint-Saëns Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78 The recuring tune is in the main piece as tiny riffs?. On its own it lasts about 60 seconds. Just beautiful. One of my grand daughters Layla, is 6 years old. She sang it with me when I was in hospital. The words are so wonderful, means a lot for me. Frank

      As I'm explaining to people, the original classical music is touched by the Holy Spirit, but so is this. The song is a sign, and no matter how simple, no matter how much reggae is poured in, it is just divine and special...

    I listen to this and I feel a little bit less lonely and desperate. I miss my grandma, she’s not with us for one year now. I miss my childhood, I miss not being anxious and scared of the world. This song feels like a breeze from my beautiful past.

      But the strength of this music (first developed by the composer Saint-Saens) is not confined to the past, as you feel it now. There is a good reason for that - the power of the Holy Spirit which Jesus promised would not leave us. They specifically tell us not to be scared, but to have faith (even as we do note the evil on the world).

    Little did these people know that eighteen years later, this song and tune would be adopted as the tune for the one of the best movies ever, "Babe". And by then, everyone would have forgotten the composer who wrote the tune in the first place in 1886.

    • @toddthedrysocket
      @toddthedrysocket 9 років тому +40

      While I agree that "Babe" is one of the finest movies ever, it is not true that Saint-Saëns is forgotten by "everyone" - his name is familiar to the public which listens to classical music on the radio - a minority avocation, admittedly. I assume that is Jonathan Hodge in the hat, counting off the beat in in the beginning, who paired these words with the composer's tune. In the movie, the tune affirms life, despite its temporary and ultimately tragic nature.

      The film BABE is an *absolute masterpiece* on it's own, and one of favorite films of all time, but I think it would have failed had it not been for the adaptation of one little bit from Saint-Saëns' Symphony No 3 in C minor, Op 78. When my husband and I could legally marry in 2015, this was played as the 'last dance' at our celebration. Saint-Saëns may be forgotten by many but not all!!

    A song from my youth, that was a big hit in the Netherlands. Yvonne Keeley is a Dutch singer whose real name is Yvonne Paay. Later she worked for a radio station. However we should forget that the melody is from the third symphony by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns.
