Absolutely Gorgeous! It looks like you have a whole host of fine-art videos I knew nothing about so I’ve got a lot of grazing to do.

While I’m afraid the music was unfamiliar to me it captured the mood of the images perfectly. I would ask if you’re familiar with the work of Eric Whitacre? One of my favorite pieces from him is “Lux Aurumque. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7o7BrlbaDs Listen for the sopranos to come in at the 3’25” mark with a high E and hold the note to the end of the piece. Pure genius !

One other piece that I just discovered a few weeks ago is “Hymn of the Cherubim” by Tchaikovsky. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZQzW_QfPew Magnificent!

Finally, Eric Whitacre’s grand experiment combining an 8409 voice virtual choir with an EDM musical accompaniment.

I am SO pleased you liked it. I usually make a video in a day. I took 3 here to get the rhythm of the moves. First time I’ve tried starting and ending the moves on a significant note.

My personal favorite is still the Daily Mail art video.

That’s the one I play over and over again for myself.

I have so many Playlists trying to organize things reasonably and then see yet another way to slice and can’t resist. Some lists are edited from larger lists to remove videos inappropriate to a FR audience. Saves me removing them from a list when I announce, and then putting them back in the next day.

I just woke up from falling asleep in Die Hard 2 so not up to checking out music tonight, but I’ll go thru them tomorrow. AND rewatch what I missed. Right now husband is going thru the 9th Symphony from Beethoven to see if we can glue together the chorus parts to make a fireworks video.

I’m also bashing my head against a wall to figure out what to go with French Impressionist. I was thinking of Charles Aznavour, but the words are too too. The song that tempts me most ends with the singer threatening suicide if his love doesn’t return in the spring, so I COULD always end with Van Gogh. I’m starting to look at Romeo and Juliet by Berlioz. Damnation of Faust just doesn’t fit Impressionism.

Oh! I was trying desperately to think what went with prehistoric art other than the theme for the Flintstones. Just realized that Simple Gifts probably would work. I used a set for Cadfael. Clearly I need to go to sleep.

I really am glad you liked it. Mary
