- The fifth movement from Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique. It begins with an introduction in three parts, marked Largo, then Allegro, followed by the sounding of bells. Following this is the Dies Irae theme followed by the Ronde du sabbat (Witche's Round Dance).
In this movement the artists, heavily under the influence of opium, dreams that he is dead and that his funeral is attended by goblins, scorcerers and monsters. The orchestration is inventive and, in places, incredibly modern sounding. For a full analysis of this work, by Stephen Johnson, go to;

As someone studying music pedagogy I must say this is an excellent example of an educational video.
Loved how you 'show' the piece. Very well thought out as a means of providing comprehension of program music.
In the opening, you can hear a demon or something like it tip-toeing up to a witch and going 'boo' and then laughing.
The most controversial symphony ever written, thank you for the phrase by phrase interpretation. Has been a favorite of mine for over fifty years. I learned more about this incredible work by watch all five movements three times today, than in my whole life. D. Alexandr D'Maddalena
I just happened upon this analysis purely by chance. It is excellent. Well done and thank you for posting it.
Thanks for this! I've been studying this piece all year and you picked up tons that I missed.
Make more of this, extremely good resource for music students. Thanks a zillion.
1:50 always scares me i just imagine the main theme his beloved is dead and theres witches dancing around the tomb stone in a circle mocking the "fixe" sticking their tongue out dancing around the tomb stone like they celebrating!
Thank you very much for this detailed analysis.
Thank you very much, this has helped me so much in an analysis that i'm doing right now!
I cannot thank you enough! Thank you and thank you again and again and
Awesome! I've been eagerly anticipating this video.
I love your analyses.
You really explore what the different aspects of the music really mean, and how they add to the narrative.
Again, I'd like to thank you for doing such an excellent job!
Thank you! Perfect to show my music appreciate classes!
In case someone doesn't know he almost died of overdosing with opium. he didn't died but he dreamed this scenes which he tried to show through music...this is considered as first psychedelic music, well at least i think...
Wow! I didn't learn that and I'm learning history!
I like the description of what's happening in the music!
Wow! What a fantastic video! Never seen anything like this before.
don't forget the satanic laughter in the trombone at 0:26
Sounds like they applied filter sweeping in the mixing-mastering stage of production! Listen to the final C Major chord stabs and how they seems to "change", there is a rising quality to them as the filter sweeps harmonic series, the winds of a terrible hellish inferno! Interesting choice :) 9:44
This series has really helped with my A level music revision. Cheers man!!
These notes are incredibly informative and easy to follow - thanks so much! Keep doing what you're doing
wow ! thank you SO much for this, it really helped me follow along to study for my history exam :)
I have my Grade 3 Music history exam tomorrow (RCM standard), this is helping me so much. Thank you for the video!
This is awesome! Helped me a lot on my upcoming history exam C:
many thanks ! !
Iv learnt so much, thank you! This is so helpful for classical music students. It all begins to make sense! :)
The triplets in the woodwind are actually answered by triplets on the horns not the trumpets :) And the idee fixe is played on a clarinet in E flat :)
I'll be honest, that was terrifying
Good. It should be.
@@GreenBoy9000absolutely
my mistake, first time on a clarinet in C and the second time on an e flat clarinet
Very informative!
@corksmusic1
yeah i think any form attributed to any movements in symphonie fantastique is quite loose. thanks for looking at brahms. this is a pretty cool thing you do here.
This was boss. Marvelous idea and wonderful constructive commentary.
I'd feel like a fool if I didn't subscribe.
Hello! Which software did you use to make this video?
+ Luca Casati The software I used is called Camtasia
Thank you Steve!
Hey, in the Idee Fixe with the clarinet, isn't it mean to be in Eb? not Bb?
@jndillaha I think the form is pretty loose because Berlioz's main intention was to create a scene, through music, of chaos and disorientation - it is really the programme (or story) that dictates the sequence of musical events.
It IS possible however to imagine where, for example, the development, coda, and recapitulation could be, but overall, I reckon Berlioz is thinking in terms of story-telling which, for the time, is pretty innovative.
I'll look at Brahms' and let you know how I get on
0:43 it’s the muted horn that is playing the triplets
Exactly right - thankyou.
two questions: first, i have heard that this particular movement is either devoid of any true form, or at least that its form is somewhat ambiguous or loose. do you feel that it has a definite form? secondly, will you do brahms's 3rd symphony next, please?
@jndillaha I have uploaded the first movement of Brahms' 3rd symphony - hope you enjoy it
is it a "sneering glissando"? or arpeggios? @ 0:46
Could you tell me who is the director and the orchestra which plays this version of Berlioz's Fantastique? Please =)
Sir Colin Davis.

What the HELL are those bells?! (no pun intended)
Sounds like bell plates might have been used here.
it's ok
what key does this start out in?
the entire thing is in cmajor
At 0:29 you misspelt Goethe very badly. You also have misspelt Sabbath.
