Story context The song occurs in the chalk-drawing outing animated sequence, just after Mary Poppins wins a horse race.

Mary disagrees, saying that at least one word is appropriate for the situation, and begins the song with this very word.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Dukas)
''The Sorcerer's Apprentice'' () is a symphonic poem by the French composer Paul Dukas, completed in 1897. Subtitled "Scherzo after a ballad by Goethe", the piece was based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's 1797 poem named "Der Zauberlehrling". By far the most performed and recorded of Dukas' works, its notable appearance in the Walt Disney 1940 animated film '' Fantasia'' has led to the piece becoming widely known to audiences outside the classical concert hall. The score was first published in 1897 by A. Durand & Fils. The premiere was given in Paris on May 18, 1897 by the Societe Nationale de Musique with the composer himself conducting. Analysis Description Inspired by the Goethe poem, Dukas's work is part of the larger Romantic genre of programmatic music, which composers like Franz Liszt, Claude Debussy, Jean Sibelius and Richard Strauss increasingly explored as an alternative to earlier symphonic forms. Unlike other tone poems, such as '' La mer'' by Debussy or ''Finla ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
