The last number on our "Fantasia" program
is a combination of two pieces of music...
1:35:56
...so utterly different in construction and mood
that they set each other out perfectly.
1:36:01
The first is "A Night on Bald Mountain"
by one of Russia's greatest composers...
1:36:06
...Modeste Moussorgsky.
1:36:08
The second is Franz Schubert's
world famous "Ave Maria."
1:36:12
Musically and dramatically, we have here
a picture of the struggle...
1:36:15
...between the profane and the sacred.
