I love this description! I spend a lot of time thinking about how weird music is… like, certain vibrations of sound emanating from air passing through valves of various sizes can make me cry or feel happy or imagine entire landscapes and narratives in my head. I would love to see a Fantasia-type thing done with just The Planets because as you’ve just explained, music can lend itself to such specific imagery.
Alternately: Hour-long AMV
Isn’t it the most gorgeous things to ever be subject to human perception?
You can almost see the rose petals and the soft focus filter.
Mars: Complex, compelling, and actively tries to make life difficult for everyone
Venus: Priorities include being the prettiest; often features solo work
Mercury: Moves too fast for everyone, but doesn’t expect them to be able to keep up
Jupiter: An eclectic mass of joy, elegance, grandiosity, bittersweetness, and adorable tendency
Saturn: Constantly straddles that delicate line between pleasant and creepy
Uranus: Tries very hard to be mysterious and commanding but cannot hide the goofy dorkiness that lies within
Neptune: Presence is literally accompanied by a choir of heavenly angels
Pluto: What’s a Pluto
Guess who is going to be playing Holst’s The Planets next semester? ME
Guess who is going to needlessly relate it to Sailor Moon? ALSO ME
If you ever have an hour to kill, listen to The Planets suite and talk to me about its relationship to the Sailor Mooniverse. I am listening and I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about celestial bodies and orchestral music and soldiers of justice.
AMV material?
