Everyone has heard one of these pieces before! But did you know the name and the author? Maybe not... Enjoy! :)
Since this video passed 1M views I made an improved version to correct many errors and issues I didn't put to much care into in the first version... I'd never guessed this would have been popular!

From this video we can know the famous song write
Ugly German Truths
@Classical Power The title just sounds like a challenge ;) Thus spoke Zarathustra is definitely a common translation of the book AND the musical piece.
Classical Power
@Ugly German Truths Actually the only reasons I've chosen those titles are because these musics are just most commonly known as such, maybe it's me but I've never seen eine kleine nachtmusik traslated in english while I see "Blue Danue" all the time. Secondly I don't know why some people like you take for granted that this is a "quiz" and proceed to comment as if it was: this is definitely not made as a quiz and indeed it isn't. I've made two "classical quizzes" if you are interested btw. (...Also sprach Zarathustra by Wagner??)
Ugly German Truths
I'm just a bit confused by the wild mix of using the original titles and substituting sometimes pretty vague english translations instead. Noticed it first with "Blue Danube" that should be named An der Schönen blauen Donau if you go with Mozart using the title "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik". Also pretty sure "Morning Mood" by Grieg had a very unpronouncable norvegian original title and so on... Later you go back to german with "also Sprach Zarathustra" by Wagner, but there is an english translation. The mix is just confusing and hard to get behind if you want to quiz with the pieces. And then there is of course the problem that you do not ALLOW the watchers to quiz as you immediately show the titles. At least make the first 2/3 of the playtime of each piece without words and then reveal for the last few seconds. But a good selection, well chosen representations/recordings of the titles and most will probably guess few titles or composers correctly. Also very daring to tease the patience of the big Mouse Corporation so with using their material for the Sorceror's apprentice and Bald Mountain with the Fantasia Clips. But why then did you NOT put the images of Goofy and his orchestra playing the OUVERTURE from "Guillem Tell" (or ouverture from William Tell) when that bit arrived?? Stay consistent in your insanity, please! :D

Thank you❤️
Classical Power
@StonyTark Yes: he spoilers the tracks and thus people just skip and don't watch longer, I don't want this to happen and so I don't put timestamps on these kind of compilations. It's a very hard work to make them also graphically interesting and if I wanted people to just skip I would have made just a basic background with titles but this is not the case. Happy now?
Kieran
@StonyTark Absolutely agree with you here
StonyTark
@Classical Power bullshit, you just want people to watch longer, this guy did what you should've done.

@Classical Power lol

Tom and Jerry was my first introduction to several of these compositions.
Kiro Todorov
🤣😆😆 truth, thanks Tom&Jerry 😊
SUHAIL KHAN XIIA
Yeah
Robert Gross
Classical music was popular in cartoons because the tunes were widely recognized, well adaptable to the action, and royalty free because they were out of copyright.

Me too

Long enough to identify the piece, not so long as to drag on. Simply perfect.
Brian Cornish
Yes some of these pieces drag on for hours
Tanuja Singh
I agree

@Classical Power yes very good job

sorry for so many edits; trying to figure out where i’ve heard these songs before
Svenya Helu
Actually, pomp and Circumstances is something like a school hymn at my school. We play it 2 to 3 times a year, but every time, everyone loves it and feels honoured to be able to play it
Andrew Chavez
My choir had to sing pomp and circumstance at graduation one year. Just...imagine singing the same song on loop for two hours straight. And also pray for my past self's vocal chords
dylan farnum
Gopher tuna need more tuna lmao
Karl Smith
Blue Danube was also used in "2001:A Space Odyssey" Also, the "William Tell Overture" is most notably thought of as the theme of "The Lone Ranger"
Classical Power
Ahahah more ore less, that could be where most of these are heard, yes...
1959teddybear
I've heard lots of these pieces but never knew the name of the composer or songs. Great job. Thanks so much for posting this video.
Ernesto Gasulla
There are symphonies, symphonic poems, divertimenti, opera arias, concerti grossi, parts of suites... pretty much everything except songs. (You would have done ok just repeating "pieces")
Classical Power
Thank you for watching!
Thetruth156 Real
It always amazes me how so many composers like Beethoven only had a head and no body, yet somehow made such wonderful music.
Johann Sebastian Bach
But Liszt and Chopin have body.
Benard Löwe
Beethoven without body is a complete thing because nobody is perfect
bait
Lmao
PanglossDr
I thought that too as a child. My dad had 5 busts across the mantlepiece, Liszt, Haydn, Beethoven, Bach and Mozart. Beethoven was in the middle and bigger than the others.
Ernesto Gasulla
And not even a fully working one... ears were defective.
Amanda Zamora
I heard all of these beautiful Classical musical pieces from each of these different composers when I was a child to now because it was either from movies, television shows, cartoons, being on hold on the phone, outdoor and indoor concerts, the radio, Spotify, YouTube, and Pandora. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
Doris Ferreras
Me hubiera gustado que estuvieran las piezas completas para agregarlo en mi lista de canciones!!😊
Patrick Yip
Having the year of composition really helps put the pieces in historical context.
Caters Carrots
@Paul WL I was confused at that too, I was like "1802? But that's when he wrote his second symphony. And Beethoven's not like Mozart. Mozart could compose a symphony in a month, Beethoven's took over a year for most of them."
Classical Power
If you look in the description you'll find the "REMASTERED" version, where I have corrected these errors and other stuff.
Mary Ann
@Paul WL 1804 to 1808. Simple to look up.
Mary Ann
Same here!
Paul WL
@Classical Power 1802 for Beethoven's Fifth??
Fahad
As a non-western, I've always liked Tom & Jerry's music. Knowing that they're pieces of famous composer' work makes sense, but blows my mind at the same time.
Youtube commenter gal
I heard most of these as a child. Swan lake and Waltz of the flowers I heard in Barbies as well as other pieces here. Others in Disney shows and others in movie trailers or movies. Others in ads. It's amazing that all these people wrote such beautiful music that is used up til today and is a part of modern culture. I feel bad that I only two a few of their names: Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky. All the others I don't know but I appreciate the beauty and art they brought to millions.
TtothaJ Blair
As amazing and classic as these all are…
John Williams stands on top of composing for me. The man has learned from all of these people to further his own abilities. He has created iconic music to match not only with our modern films but with our minds!
I love it.
Again these were all great classics though too.
DoodleBug
Idk if it’s just me but this music makes me feel like I’m in another world

It always amazes me that human being scan commit the worst crimes against humanity and at least try and destroy the world and yet are still capable of this kind of talent and beauty. Amazing!!

@Deirdre Collins Yes he hated the Catholic Church... Your point?
PhoenixFlameGames
@typewriter (very old fashioned example, but its to explain circumstances) Let's say you need to choose between saving someone's life or getting their wallet with a lot of money in it. No one is looking. Some people would go for the money instead of the person. However, if someone was looking, a lot of people who would normally choose the money would now save the person instead.
William Styers
I'm 71 and remember a lot of these from old WB cartoons. Sadly our kids and grandkids never hear these masterpieces on Spongebob and the like
DC Mook
I’m 19. All my friends are so into their phones and laptops it’s absurd. They’re all telling me about the newest hip hop and pop, but classical is what I love the most! If that’s what makes me the nerd of my group, that’s fine haha
Nawal Singh Rawat
@EL BAJIO INFORMA wow wonderful to know ✌🙂
Nawal Singh Rawat
It's wonderful to read your comment and know about your childhood memories. Different generations are connected together by music and cartoons. God bless you.
DTXSpeaks
I mean there's plenty of cartoons, youtube videos etc that have these songs. Then there is the Judge Judy theme which sample Beethoven's 5th Symphony. Honestly I'm pretty sure kids and young adults know these pieces.
DumneZeus
@Classical Power maybe RichyMan31 is already 87...
Gaby Busby
This was so great to listen to. Finally can put the names to the pieces. Thanks!
Erma Gerhd
In my opinion rock music and classical fuse so well together. Queen and Muse are two modern examples I can think of that take inspiration from classical or orchestral, but even hearing just rock covers or rock bands collaborating with orchestras it’s a gorgeous sound and I wish there was more of it
Danalyn Tuthill
I even liked Walter Murphy's "A fifth of Beethoven" based on his Fifth Symphony. It fused classical and disco. Who knew it would work so well.
Mila Polk
R. Strauss for Opening Elvis concerts?
EagleOneM
Great compilation of some great music.
My favorite is still Carmina Burana which I had the chance to enjoy live here in Dallas a few years ago... masterful..
Amazing how many of this music was used for cartoons or series like Poirot... Loved it! Thanks for sharing...
Dee Westhill
Yesterday while standing in line at a supermarket, among other Christmas music on the intercom was Tschaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers. Since i virtually never hear any classical music in stores, that was so overwhelming i nearly burst into tears for sheer happiness. I wish that would happen more often.
DC Mook
@Dee Westhill I hope so too! It was surprising, as I’m a student in a college town so I didn’t think I’d hear classical haha
Dee Westhill
@DC Mook It was FoodsCo in Sacramento, CA. I'm thrilled to hear other stores are playing the good stuff too! I hope that will be a trend.
DC Mook
Was it by chance a Smiths grocery store in Utah? i was just there and heard the same piece.
Dee Westhill
@Classical Power It really would!
Classical Power
That would a pretty nicer world wouldn't it?

Childhood cartoons were filled with these!!

Sounds to me like those cds that said Classical music for those who don't like it
May Mallett
I’m so proud I knew these😱 I love classical music, definitely underrated
Aqua Fruit
My favorite classical writers have to be Beethoven, Bizet, Mozart, Strauss Jr, and Tchaikovsky. All amazing composers.
Robert Edwards
The short pieces of Music and Images of each Composer complement each other Perfectly. 😄
Classical Power
Thanks :)
Yukimaru676
My father loved classical Music☺️ so I know many of them. I'm still a Fan😁
William Soltes
Thank you so much. The recording samples are just long enough that I can identify the song, and now I can put a name and composer to it. Like many, I heard these songs through works such as Disney's Fantasia; Stanley Kubrick's Clockwork Orange; and of course, Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey, but didn't know who did them, or the titles. This has been an excellent educational tool! *****
Classical Power
I appreciated your comment really :)
Kowhai P Olsen
So cool, I wish I could pronounce their names. I'd feel like an expert 😂
Gallant Gamer
7:27. I have been looking for this since I was 9. I'm 19. I first heard it from Ren and Stimpy, then Fallout 4, and it always reminds me of them since!
It always makes me feel so peaceful.

Leo Tängermark
@Classical Power Indeed. I listen to other music too but there isn't really anything that can get to me the same way rachmaninov's second piano concerto can when I take the time to listen through it
Classical Power
Yes, classical music as the amazing and almost magical power to make you feel an emotion (that's why the name of the channel), and it's far beyond even medicines or pill since they can make you feel relaxed or painless, while music can make you feel every possibile emotion ever experienced by any man in any part of his life, whether is was glorious or miserable...
Ilham Eka Prasetya Bakti
this is how masterpiece really can stay forever... 🥰
Jim Koval
I grew up on rock music(was even into punk in the 80's) but my all time favourite piece of music has always been Strauss's "Blue Danube". Thanks for putting this together.
Pavel Kuda
Hello Jim, do you know that in Dobrany, Czech Republic is street of Oty Kovala, who was famous local writer?
7jannus
Excelente selección!!! La verdad imposible nombrar todas las piezas que ya forman parte de la historia del mundo!
DarknessGHG
It’s sad, that a lot a people don’t know the name or history of such great stuff
tubalcain
As long as the feel the emotions... That comes with these masterpieces.
Wendy W
The Sorcerer ' s Apprentice and Night on Bald Mountain are both featured in Fantasia (about 1940), which is a true emotional experience . IMO, it's the best piece of animation EVER !
nigel treherne
Totally agree. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an absolute cinematic milestone!
Venkatesh B
itload.info/losk/gpK1kpVuxtOteZM/video what music is this?
Morsom Rotte
I’m definitely gonna use some of these for my figure skating programs!!!
Danalyn Tuthill
I think I saw a figure skater use Rachmanioff's Piano Concerto No. 2. You should also consider his "Rhapsody on a Theme of Pagnini". Both gorgeous and so melodic. Perfect for figure skating programs.
Classical Power
Yes some are great! A friend of mine uses them too, she said "Danse macabre" is quite popular for skating if I remember correctly, and also "The Firebird" finale by Stravinskij; it's not in here but you can look it up.
Miss Anne Thrope
Thank you! You saved my sanity this morning when I woke up with a piece of music in my head and Google assist was no help because it wasn't a song with lyrics so humming it was of no use. I spent another half hour googling "powerful, fast classical music" and fast forwarding through songs. Then I stumbled upon this gem, and found it! Thank you for doing God's work and saving my sanity this Saturday morning.
Edit: It was Carmen Overture.
Classical Power
I'm really happy to read this :)
Lisa Conklin
I know and love so many of these, and have played at least excerpts of them in my younger years (viola). I had fun playing them for my son and seeing how man of them he knew and could at least name or was familiar with! Thank you! ❤️
Emmanuel Pairis
I don't know about art and music not into classical either but this video is AWESOME! Every time I hear this piece, EVERY time, I got shivers all over. First time I heard it in the old lucas arts game Loom, Swan Lake. I even bought the best edition I found in vinyl.
Anitaloves Elvis
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this lovely classical music. Thank you for putting it together ❤
John Williams
Hello how are you nice to meet you
Classical Power
Thank you for watching!
Darth Maul
Classic Music is so underrated!
Danalyn Tuthill
Not by people that listen to it. Look how often its used. These composers wrote a graduation theme and the Wedding March that is used to this day. Amazing. They were considered the rock stars of their day, especially if they were also performers like Liszt.
Classical Power
True!!!
Roger Moore Tibbetts
My first real introduction to classical music was a classroom showing (on projector) of Peter and the Wolf (prokofiev) cartoon. The rest (after discovering Fantasia, Silly Symphonies & 2001-A Space Odyssey) as they say, is history.
Silke Juppenlatz
Grieg's Peer Gynt is one of my all time favorite classics. :) Nice to see some in here.
And I love Danse Macabre :) (Love most of them actually)
A. S.
💙 Peer gynt is one of my favourite piece as well 🙈
Debra Rufini
There are the classical experts...then there are those who 'remember it from Tom and Jerry!'
Cleephark
im one of the classical experts
Walang magawa sa buhay Bored
Tom and Jerry 😭🙌🏼
RC64
Many cartoon and movies
ColdWarShot
@Stellar Dendrite In the case of Tom and Jerry, it was Fred Quimby who (dispute having zero sense of humor, lacked any understanding of cartoons) insisted the shorts feature an orchestra, and not the simple music normally featured. This meant both composing original pieces and supplementing it with classical pieces when necessary. It worked.
Will Bell
Nope, I'm just a classical expert. I've actually been playing the cello (The second largest string instrument) for two years now. :)
Just Random
Can't belive I recognize 90% of these masterpieces as a South African, but then again I grew up watching Hollywood stuff, cartoon network and of course Fantasia 2000 💖
Jason Smith
Same same
Lesedi Mothoa

Shatarupa Sarma
For me no one can come close to swan lake, period. That's literally the most angelic, alluring western classical pieces I've ever heard. As soon as i listen to it i drift into some fantasy land for no reason lmao
Alan Potter
Try Tchakovsky's Nutcracker. I bet you've heard every single theme from the ballet many times.
Harold Anthony
Very accurate. The nutcracker was what brought me to classical music, since I recognised so many!
Liz Toal
my first lp , I,m 70 and I still have it..my dad gave me love of classical music
Saad's Requiem for Sasuke
The Blue Danube I know fondly from many many places, especially Tom and Jerry, but recently from 2001: A Space Odyssey, and I was mistaking the very first one in the video Ode to Joy by Beethoven for Blue Danube until I saw this video!
Greatly appreciated this compilation for clearing it up!

Thank you alot for this amazing work 👏 💜 keep that energy up
he's the Master
All brilliant music composers who heard their musical pieces in their minds first , then played the tune with a piano or
small stringed instrument as accompaniment and put the tune to paper. Remember the piece was used in several parts
for additional accompaniment with different musical instruments to complete the whole composition.
Truly a rare and mystical talent that echoed out of their souls.
Johannes Bluemink
Verdi's Dies Irae still gives me goose-bumps. The best of them all.

I feel proud that each piece here has been heard by us.....😍

I introduced my son to this music through Tom and Jerry …today he is part of the symphony.
Mary Ann
This helped me put composers on a time scale. Vivaldi, Brahms, and Mozart in the 1700s vs almost all the rest in the 19th Century.
Appreciate the presentation. Will go back and take notes 📝
OH, Thus spake Zarathustra! 😎 lots of research in my future!
🙌
Dee Westhill
Brahms was not among these, and he was in the 19th century, not 18th. I think you meant Bach.
Classical Power
Glad it helped!
LangWizard
Yup, I heard almost all of them in classic cartoons. I just love how this video makes me feel ❤️
Carmelita W Larrabaster
This brings back memories of my family’s tradition of proceeding to the Lanai of our home after dinners and listen to these beautiful works of the greatest musical masters.
Thank you for sharing.
Gaston Ronga
Beautiful..we need more like this.
Cole Gillespie
I feel like classical music was simple, eloquent, calm, and tranquil. And then Beethoven was like nah. Since then it’s been who could be crazier. Tchaikovsky was like how about we add a cannon?
Classical Power
Ahaha classical music is everything you can imagine, you just have to find the right one ;)
