A watch and a score as a whole, made me think of a ballet entitled "The Dance of the Hours" (La Danza delle Ore in Italian) taken from an opera by the Italian composer Amilcare Ponchielli, La Gioconda. With the "Dance of the Hours" Ponchielli has magically rendered into music the idea of the twelve dancers representing the twelve hours and two dancers who simulate the hands of the clock. Music and ballet describe in a fabulous symphonic progression the dance of the hours of dawn, the hours of day, the hours of the night and the morning. The "Dance of the Hours" is the only piece by an Italian composer used by Disney in the animated musical film Fantasia. This is my musical and photographic contribution of today’s Macro Mondays them: “Lockdown Song.” HMM!

Un orolologio e una partitura in un insieme mi hanno fatto pensare ad un Balletto dal titolo "La Danza delle Ore" tratto dall'Opera La Gioconda del compositore Amilcare Ponchielli.Con la “Danza delle ore” Ponchielli ha magicamente reso in musica l'idea delle dodici ballerine raffiguranti le dodici ore e dei due ballerini che simulano le lancette dell’orologio. Musica e balletto descrivono in una favolosa sinfonica progressione l'avanzare delle ore del giorno e della notte. La "Danza delle ore" è l'unico brano di un compositore italiano utilizzato dalla Disney nel film musicale di animazione Fantasia.

Une montre et une partition dans son ensemble m'ont fait penser à un ballet intitulé « La danse des heures", tiré d'un opéra du compositeur italien Amilcare Ponchielli: « La Gioconda ».Avec la "Danse des heures", Ponchielli a superbement réalisé une idée en musique avec douze danseuses représentant les douze heures et deux danseurs qui simulent les aiguilles de la montre où musique et ballet décrivent, dans une fabuleuse progression symphonique, l'avance des heures du jour et de la nuit. La "Danse des heures" est la seule pièce d'un compositeur italien utilisée par Disney dans le film musical d'animation Fantasia.
