<\/p>\n
In the 1920’s and 1930’s, Disney Silly Symphony shorts used to play in movie theaters before the main feature. These set many records. The Skeleton Dance was the first musical animation and Flowers and Trees full-color animation using Technicolor. All together, 75 Silly Symphony shorts were made, usually performed by a 32-piece orchestra. Due to limitations in technology at that time, each piece has to be played perfectly at once or they had to start over to try again. Obviously this took talent and skill.<\/p>\n
Last week, at D23 Expo 2015<\/a>, we were treated to a live orchestra performance \u2013 Disney in Concert: A Silly Symphony Celebration. Also with 32 performers, this was similar to what it would sound like during the recording of an original Silly Symphony film. The event was hosted by Leonard Maltin and music was performed in synchronization with Silly Symphonies shorts being shown. It was really a treat to see and listen to!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Silly Symphony performance was not just put on the program out of the blue though. The event was in honor of the upcoming the release of the The Silly Symphony Collection<\/a><\/em> box set. This set will feature restored soundtracks from the 75 Silly Symphony shorts from 1929-1939 on 16 vinyl LPs.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The songs included on The Silly Symphony Collection<\/a> are:<\/p>\n Volume 5: 1934\u20221935 Volume 8: 1937\u20221939 The Old Mill, Grasshopper and the Ants, and The Ugly Duckling are some of my favorites!<\/p>\n I was invited on an all-expense paid media trip as a guest of Disney in honor D23 Expo. All opinions are my own.<\/em><\/p>\n See more: In the 1920’s and 1930’s, Disney Silly Symphony shorts used to play in movie theaters before the main feature.
