Thanks so much for another delightful video. I always enjoy your work.
I had to grin at your use of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture as the background music. It tells the story, in music, of the suffering and sacrifice of the Russian people under attack by Napoleon’s French troops, followed by Napoleon’s overwhelming defeat, losing 90% of his troops. Cannon fire is replaced by jubilant ringing of church bells. (As I recall, it’s said that Tchaikovsky originally asked that the bells be rung by the angels of heaven, but that may be a myth.) I’ve loved this piece since the seventies, and I always find the ending cathartic because I enter into the story and imagine the relief and joy of the Russians who survived.
Of course, I’m sure that you didn’t choose the music to make a statement or bring a catharsis, but still, I enjoyed it.
