Project 365: Day # 122 - Monday, January 9, 2012 "Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to present to you, Fantasia."

I literally took a trip down memory lane when I found one of the songs to the 1950's version of Disney's "Fantasia". I've been searching and searching and searching for this piece by J.S. Bach. I remember being at my cousin's house in New York over Christmas break and on one of the classical radio stations, every year they have a Bach Festival where everything that they play on the radio is by Bach. I was up around 6:30 am on the day after Christmas since I was going to go out for an early morning run until I heard the song I've been looking for for years. It was Bach's very own "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor".  I used this app on my iPhone called "soundhound" where you activate it and you hold the phone up to a radio and it will give the song's information such as the lyrics, as well as YouTube links to it. This is how I was able to get the name of it before it was over. But as of now, I typed the title in on YouTube and the first thing that popped up was the Fantasia version of this piece. When I clicked on it, I literally had a huge flashback because every time I visit my grandmother, I would watch Fantasia every time, over and over again. I was in love with the music. I loved it how it showed a superfluous sense of imagery based on the song that was being played as well as its mood or it's tone. This was #1 on my favorites besides the popular Sorcerer's Apprentice. It was a great moment to truly reminisce on something amazing such as this during my early childhood.
