Disney Fantasia Night On Bald Mountain
- "The concluding number on our Fantasia program is a combination of ii pieces of music so utterly different in structure and mood that they set up each other off perfectly. The get-go is Night on Baldheaded Mountain past one of Russia's greatest composers, Modest Mussorgsky. The 2d is Franz Schubert's world-famous Ave Maria. Musically and dramatically, we take here a flick of the struggle between the profane and the sacred."
- ―Deems Taylor[src]
Nighttime on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria is the seventh and final segment of Fantasia, following the medley containing compositions of the same proper noun past Pocket-sized Mussorgsky and Franz Schubert. Deems Taylor introduces it equally the disharmonize between the profane (represented by Night on Bald Mount) and the sacred (represented by Ave Maria).
At Walpurgis Night (the Witches' Sabbath), Chernabog, God of evil, emerges from the peak of Bald Mountain (in reality Mount Triglaf, well-nigh Kyiv in Ukraine) to summon all of his minions, including ghosts, vultures, demons, hags, and harpies, who trip the light fantastic furiously as he throws them into the mount'due south peppery pit. He is driven away by the calorie-free of the dawn, and a procession of figures walks upward a hill to witness the sunrise. It is mayhap the nigh famous sequence in Fantasia, if non, 2nd to The Sorcerer'southward Apprentice. It showcases the blitheness of Vladimir Tytla and the style of Kay Nielsen, every bit well as the longest shot ever produced in the multi-plane photographic camera (in the procession).
Plot
The segment takes place in a mountainous area, in which a village is overlooked by Bald Mountain. The meridian is revealed to be Chernabog's wings, which he spreads out as he looks at the village down below. Stretching out his arms, he casts a dark shadow over the village and summons ghosts, including the spirits of hanged criminals (who pass through the noose a second time as they rise from their graves), fallen warriors in the moat and grounds of a ruined castle and the souls of all who are not cached in sacred basis.
Chernabog's minions dancing
The ghosts join together to become a single mass, swirling around Chernabog, who laughs and summons burn down and demons. As the demons emerge and gather below him, he grabs a number of them and disdainfully throws them into the fires of Baldheaded Mountain, while his other minions dance on. He so uses flames to create images on his right palm: first, the flames resemble three elegant dancers with long flowing pilus; then, at his pleasure, they transform into dancing barnyard animals. Chernabog then transforms them into blueish lizard-similar demons who clamber on his hand and and then become crushed. When he opens information technology, the flames go blue demons with horns and tails who dance before him, causing him to smiling maliciously. As the dancing continues, it becomes more frantic and cluttered. Harpies fly above the demons, occasionally grabbing them and throwing them into the inferno.
The celebration culminates in a blinding flash of burn down from the inferno. Chernabog, ready to continue, eagerly leers over his minions but is interrupted by the sound of church building bells, which herald the coming of the dawn. Though he initially ignores it, the sunlight forces him and his minions to retreat; as the ghosts return to their resting places and the demons hide in the mountain, Chernabog raises his artillery one final time and closes his wings, protecting himself from the sunlight and becoming the peak of the mountain again.
The sunrise
- "...we hear the "Ave Maria" with its message of the triumph of promise and life over the powers of despair and death."
- ―Deems Taylor[src]
A long line of figures (monks, pilgrims, or nuns), each bearing a source of gold light, gradually comes into view in the state in front end of the village. The silhouettes proceed up a shallow-sloping loma, among natural forms that resemble the compages of a cathedral (trees are alpine and completely vertical, resembling columns, and branches cross together to form gothic arches), the predawn sky filled with colour by the coming sunrise. The camera continues ahead of these figures and reaches a serene horizon, where the sun slowly rises to a crescendo. The film then ends immediately, without any disclaimer (however, the 1990 version as well as the 1991 UK VHS release features end credits following the end of the segment).
Ave Maria Lyrics
Ave Maria! Sky's bride!
The bells band out in solemn praise
For y'all, the anguish and the pride,
The living glory of our nights —
Of our nights and days.
The Prince of Peace your artillery embrace,
While hosts of darkness fade and cower.
Oh, salve united states, Mother full of grace,
In life and in our dying hour!
Ave Maria!
Production
An inspirational sketch by Kay Nielsen establishing the look and style of Dark on Bald Mount.
The idea for Night on Bald Mountain'south Devil was conceived by German artist Heinrich Kley (who, though he did not piece of work at the Disney studio, inspired many of the Disney artists, and whose drawings were collected by Walt Disney), who in one case sketched a pen and ink drawing of a gigantic demon forcing workers out of a factory past blocking the chimney. Albert Hurter, inspired by this drawing and others similar information technology past Kley, drew various sketches of a huge, winged devil tossing handfuls of souls into a volcano. Hurter's sketches as well included studies of Chernabog'southward hands as his flailing minions attempt to clamber onto his fingers for condom; this imagery is used in a shot in the final motion-picture show. After Hurter's initial sketches, Kay Nielsen established the final appearance of Chernabog and his world in a series of detailed pastel illustrations, besides every bit a model sheet for the character.[1] Chernabog was and so created as a real model, to be used as reference by Tytla during animation.[2]
Despite the limited animation, the Ave Maria segment proved to be i of the biggest challenges on the flick as the outcome of the massive scale of its procession scene and the deep employ of multiplane photographic camera work for the concluding scene. The sequence had to be shot three times in order to achieve the final sequence equally a consequence of an incorrect lens being used the kickoff time and an earthquake causing the photographic camera to shake the 2d time. The third and final version was completed with only a day before the film'southward premiere in New York.

Trivia
- This segment has an equivalent in Fantasia 2000, The Firebird Suite, equally they both feature demonic beings reeking chaos, and good ultimately overcoming their doings.
- The song "Dark on Baldheaded Mount" was used in the PlayStation Vita edition of LittleBigPlanet. In addition, some Disney characters, like The Incredibles became DLC costumes for LittleBigPlanet.
- Ave Maria is the only segment in the film with lyrics. The preceding compositions are instrumental.
- Night on Bald Mount appears in Epic Mickey ii: The Power of 2 as ane of the projector screen levels, in two versions.
- Walpurgis Night, when Chernabog awakens, takes place between April thirty and May one; it is literally the evening before the feast-solar day of Saint Walburga, an 8th-century English missionary to Germany. According to German fable, the witches held their yard Sabbat on this nighttime. The German Walpurgisnacht is mostly better known than the Russian St. John'due south Eve.
- The piece's original Russian title was Иванова ночь на лысой горе ( Ivanova noch′ na lysoy gore) or "St. John'southward Eve on the Bare Mount"; Modest Mussorgsky intended his "night" to be the Kupala Dark, or St. John the Baptist's Eve: this sets the sequence in the dark between June 23 and 24. Coincidentally, he finished composing this piece that aforementioned night.
- In his notes to the piece, Mussorgsky identified the "Bald Mount" of the title as "Mount Triglav, near Kiev"; nonetheless, there is non currently any mount of that name in Ukraine. The name "Triglav" ("the three-headed") was the name of an ancient Slavic deity, and seems to have been used for three-peaked mountains in general, just the only mount with that specific proper noun is found in Slovenia, though there is a Mount Troglav in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
- Mussorgsky refers to his devil (in diverse sources) every bit Чёрнобог (Chernobog [sic], "The Black God"), Чёрному козлу (Chernomy kozlu, "The Black Goat"), and Сатана (Satana, "Satan").
- Ironically, both these festivities are associated with fertility and render of life, which is diametrically reverse to the theme of Disney'southward sequence.
- The music of "Night on Bald Mount" was featured in a Reese'southward Peanut butter cup Halloween commercial From 2012 through 2018.
- In Richard Williams' film, The Thief and the Cobbler, at that place is a scene that spoofs this segment, with the Thief making similar poses to Chernabog.
