He wrote his music after nightmares. So imagine what his dreams must have been like. He is a great composer, and he should get more recognition for his work. Horror music metal man!

Mussorgsky must have passed a really haunting night at the bald mountain to be able to compose this...

"Nothing happened on Bald Mountain, dont look into it" -Mussorgsky

I don’t care what type of music you’re into….a piece of music like this stays in your soul forever from the moment your hear it.

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary and Mussorgsky what on earth happened on bald mountain

To those who are not informed. This orchestration was made by another great Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov after Mussorgsky's death. The original version orchestrated by Mussorgsky himself is somewhat different, especially the end of this masterpiece. Anyway, both are magnificent.

As a kid, I loved this song. It was the ‘finale’ of the OG Fantasia. Although it made me anxious as hell and genuinely scared me, I loved it so much.

спасибо Мусоргскому за отличным сэмпл для величайшего композитора найнмайса!

Imagine how the composer's mind would be blown finding out there exists a medium where his composition has been listened to over 10 million times, all the while being adored and discussed amongst people who have never met each other.

When you realize your deadline was today at 5pm.

I first heard this music watching "Fantasia" as a kid during WW II. The music fascinated me, but when the music turned in to Ave Maria, I couldn't stop crying. My mother thought that I was frightened by the music! I was finally able to tell her that I was so moved, that I couldn't help it. To this day, I keep waiting for the work to be "completed" with the Ave Maria. I love this, straight as it is!

This is the perfect song to play when your parents are arguing

this masterpiece creates its own adventure when you close your eyes.

- I like 60s music -The beatles, right? -no I mean 1860s...

Mussorgsky is one of the greatest musicians of all time!

"I was into heavy metal before it was popular" - Mussorgsky

When you show your mom a pic on your phone and she starts swiping

I play this arrangement in high school concert band on trombone and I still remember the the excited we had every time it was the brass sections time to shine. Over 10 years ago now 😅

Mussorgsky inanılmaz bir besteci. Her dinlediğimde beni uçsuz bucaksız yerlere götürüyor. İnanılmaz gerçekten. Böyle bir orkestrayı dağda ormanda veya distopik mekanlarda dinlemek aşırı keyif verir. Her dinlediğimde müziğin yüksek kısımları ve düşük kısımlarında çok ayrı duygular hissettiriyor. Şahane kocaman bir eser , bu eser için kendisine çok teşekkür ederim 🙏🌙

The beauty of classical music is that we're all subconsciously aware of all the great works before you even start getting into it because there will have been hundreds of times you'll have already heard them, then when you get into it you realise you just didn't know the titles and the composers. Rock, metal and punk are my favourite genres but recently I've become addicted to listening to Classic FM.

For me, this was the music the maths teachers listened to when making their tests for the next week.

Exciting! Filled with expectation, drama and wild reckless joy

Очень много англоязычных комментариев! Спасибо вам братья, что слушаете русскую классику! Эта музыка - достояние всего человечества❤

When that fly you thought you killed was actually a bee that's still alive

MUSIC LIKE THIS REALLY MAKES ME WISH LIFE CAME WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC

What an unforgivablly splendid melody! I can feel the tension, greatness and ominous rhythms of the music! Amazing!

People: Heavy metal is some creepy evil music. Mussorgsky: Hold my bottle.

This man accurately portrayed anxiety through music in the 1800's, incredible

Why are people saying this is haunting or anxious to me this is so happy like they went on a really exciting dance on the mountain

This is my ringtone for when my mom calls.

hearing this with a full live Orchestra must be mindblowing

I first heard (&saw) this at age 5 when Disney's movie Fantasia came out. Wow! Have loved the music from that picture ever since.

Chernabog: We making it out of the daylight with this one.

this music makes me picture a mob of angry bald men up on a bald mountain with torches offering a man with full head of hair as a sacrifice

That moment in a video game when you're so close to winning but your health is low and it's taking you a long time to beat it

Metal way before it's time 🤘

“What happened?” “I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”

I bet he never thought people would still be enjoying his work almost 200 years later.

Any 1800 kid who had this on their iPods were the coolest in school

The time of the classical writers of music is over, but at least their music survives to this day and are considered timeless! A beautiful piece of music that for me depicts a storm atop a mountain with trees flailing in the wind!

This piece of music has always been exceptionally brilliant and just brilliant for the personal imagination.

His first name was Modest but his music was anything but.

I came here for the music, but I stayed for the comments.

Fantástic. It sends my mind into the woodlands of eastern europe. Absolutely brilliant.

That feeling when you have to take a shit but all the bathroom stalls are full.

Walked into my final exam for Calc playing this on a bluetooth speaker. The teacher just laughed at me maniacally...

This is what anxiety sounds like

Wow🔥

"Honey, we need to talk"

when mom comes home and you havent washed the dishes

The influence metal took from this sort of thing is crazy and awesome. Metal and Classical who would of thunk it?

V-I-P-E DOUBLE RR

What many don't realize is that this composition has an enormous wealth of Russian themes, chained together with great mastery in a single opus.

I played this for my dog... and dude... Its now a dog hearing good music.

I was born in İzmir, Turkey, in 1971. At age 7 I started primary school, (Ghazi). We had a lot of children of local Jewish and Catholic families in the class. Our music teacher (Zeki Bey) was a very old man. I later learned that he was the music teacher of my father too, many years ago. He was so old that he could barely see anything without his glasses. They were so thick that when he was carrying them you could never tell where he was looking at. He was fat, old, and could only move slowly. That one man, with his old age and health problems, took our entire class of 67 kids, each 8-9 years old; lectured us; led our families buy mandolins (no cheap instrument for these years to give a scool kid); he corrected the accords for each of us before the lesson, one by one; thaught us letters; thaught us how to play it; entire year, and organized a complete one and half hours long concert in the school hall in front of our families at the final week of the school. That one man, every third week took us to music room of the school, introduced piano, violin, cello, drums and many other instruments, in the first hour, and he also introduced us one classic music peace, playing the record from a turntable player. This was when I listened "A night in bald mountain" first time. I could never thank to Zeki Bey when he was alive. I am 53 now. I am sure that he is no more among the living, unless he could pass 150 years of age. It is strangely sad that I never thaught this way before, never recognized or appreciated the value of his work, his dedication to teach us art of music. How many times did I use the skills he helped to develop in me? Being able to sing a song properly, listening and appreciating a peace of art, sharing this feeling with friends, with my wife, with my daughter? I wish there was a way to thank him.

When my daughter practices her drums at 6 a.m, this embodies my fury.

ill never forget this tune in one of the many hard stages of 'Earthworm Jim' for the Super Nintendo...haunting, and a haunting difficult level, with this long playing the entire time! Terror! haha . Awesome composition

поможем молодому с феймом

hello from viperr

It feels like your running from a nightmare that could not be described in words, a feeling you must be there to feel, simply a masterpiece credit to such a great composer

0:16 when you walk into class and realise you didn't complete the project or study for the test

If anxiety had a theme song.....

This is beautifully illustrated and animated by Disney (when they were a good company) and it is fantastic and matches the terror and horror of the piece. I love this piece to death😊

my band teacher said we'll be playing this for Halloween I'm so excited

Apparently, Mussorgsky was incredibly critical of himself, and was a perfectionist, which is part of why he doesn't have a whole lot of surviving music. He ended up discarding whatever music he was dissatisfied with Edit: Turns out that this is not entirely accurate. Mussorgsky wasn't necessarily a perfectionist, but he was often under intense pressure from his mentor, Mily Balakirev. Additionally, he didn't really discard work that dissatisfied him, but he would frequently rewrite and revisit old works, and it's common knowledge that he technically never completed Night on Bald Mountain

Straight off the Saturday Night Fever album. Obviously this is the original. Great music never gets old.👍🙏

I want this to play at my funeral so that everyone just gets really unsettled and begins wondering if I'm gonna come back as Satan

I love this piece! The sequence in Disney's original "Fantasia" does this brilliant tone poem visual justice and is genius in its own right.

The moments the music accelerates are telling of what experiences he went through to create this terrifying masterpiece. Straight out of a thriller film.

Rimsky Korsakov Master of Orchestration

When my friends tells me classical music isn't hardcore

I can't explain how, but, Russia composer's are the best to express terror and anxiety, with these Master piece I can really feel that I am witnessing a witches reunion " aquelarre in spanish but I don't find a proper translation" .

viperr the best duo in the world 😋

The OG Final Boss music/PTSD/schizo/traumacore piece

when you find out theres no milk AFTER you pour the cereal

Everyone talking about the opening of the piece but I think 7:40 is highly underrated, beautiful part of the piece

What happens on Bald Mountain stays on Bald Mountain!

in Slavic folk mythology related to witchcraft. According to legends, witches periodically gather on the bald mountain for their Sabbath

I was in a Symphonic Band in High School and we played this. The bass can be fun! Loved it and will never forget it. Love the big 5 Russian Composers. They influence me in my own meager compositions. I am grateful.

I remember when this came out it was a hit in the clubs people would jam to this all the time

Thanks to the good old days of Disney im here

when you’re washing your hands and your sleeves fall, getting drenched

he had not any formal musical education. GENIUS.

Modest Mussorgsky wrote this music during his stay in south Italy, at Montecalvo Irpino, on the river Sabato, near Benevento, the place of the witches. They made their sabba under a big tree, a walnut, called noce di Benevento.

Breataking music he is great composer!💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👍Bald Mauuntain is one of te masterpiece!👍👏👏

Mussorgsky made my top 5 Spotify wrapped

What a beautiful piece of music

2020 theme music

This is the soundtrack to when my wife starts to tell me about her day

This was a track on Saturday Night Fever. Superbly modernised for the greatest album ever!

All I can say is that this phenomenal masterpiece goes perfectly with what the world is enduring at the moment.

he looks totally unimpressed in the photo. Like "dude, are we done? I gotta get back to composing... " :D
