Saturday Morning Cartoons: A Wordless War
Saturday, April 28, 2012
For this week's cartoon, we have selected Richard Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" from Die Walkure, which is also today's Metropolitan Opera broadcast.
This piece is featured, along with various other classical and jazz tunes, in Music Land, the 1935 Disney Silly Symphonies animated short which wordlessly comments on the "sea of discord" between classical music and jazz.
