Fantasia (1940 film) (Eliza's version)

***Introducing of the Fantasia Program***

Celebrating the 80 years of Walt Disney's Fantasia by doing a concert feature of our fellow character friends in each music on the program. What you are going to see are the characters and trolls and dancers and fairies that music inspires in the minds and imaginations of a group people. In other words, these are not going to be the interpretations of trained musicians. Which we think is all to the good. Now, there are three kinds of music on this Fantasia program. First is the kind that tells a definite story. Then there's the kind that, while it has no specific plot, does paint of, more or less, definite pictures. Then there's a third kind, music that exists simply for it own sake. Narrated by Deems Taylor the Master of ceremonies. Conductor Leopold Stokowski

***Toccata and Fugue in D Minor***
