Ashley's Philosophy Corner

    "The principle of revelation is the key which opens the mind and spirit of man to an understanding of the gospel. There is no other key to such knowledge. Thinkers have philosophized; poets have dreamed; and scientists have experimented; but only God speaks with a sure knowledge of all truth."

    "How much more dignified and noble are the thoughts of God than the vain imaginations of the human heart."

Anna's All Things Classical and Jazz

I just love Libera. A lot. I'm sorry. But, I played this song in one of my orchestras, and it was so beautiful then, but having them sing it....and it is actually a classical piece from Hansel and Gretel.

Ah, the Paris Ballet! Such precision,discipline, culture, and refinement. Let this lovely form of entertainment go on unvarnished.

(The above is the beginning, and the below the continuance.) 

 

Jazzing things up by putting them in a different order. :)

Austin's Funnies Corner

I suppose today is ballet themed. :) But I just really love these poor saps in the chicken suits in the beginning. Other than that...it's more than an hour, so all you really have to watch is the beginning. The romance starts at about 8:26 though, in case you wanted to know, which is also very amusing. :)

So, I'm not sure what disney movie this is from, but I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE  this song. It very eloquently expounds upon the concept that France lives that I love so much and try to apply to my own life, not to mention it's just so pleasant and uplifting. Plus, it's a Frenchman, (Maurice Chevalier, 30s or 40s or so French singer and in one or two other Disney's) and a young English girl, (somewhat well-known Disney actress in old movies -Hayley Mills). But I love how it has both countries represented. :) Very good song.
