classical is love.

Remember the movie Fantasia? Some of the works played in the film are program music; that is, instrumental music that depicts or suggests stories in sound.


Fantasia created the mold for blending music and movie magic into an exhilarating moviegoing experience.
Unforgettable images are brought to life by some of the world's best music.



Notice how words are rarely spoken in the clip as well as the whole movie.

Ever since then, I was determined to think and imagine what classical music convey. I can conjure up an adventure, a dance, a love story, a joke while listening to it. I think that's the whole point of Fantasia in the first place- it's there to fuel up the imagination inside you.

That's a total of 155 songs and a playing time of 12.7 hours.

So happy that my ears have finally set their auditory abilities to something worthy of my artistic and classic taste in music. I have longed to have a collection of such kind and so happy that I finally have it.

So for the record Does classical music make people smarter?
Answer: It technically doesn't make you smarter, but it increases brain activity, therefore making it easy to focus.

Mozart helps you with any ability to focus on spatial tasks (math and science).
Bach helps mental alertness and memory retention.
Tchaikovsky helps creative tasks

 I'll be closing my eyes now and listen to its beauty.
