Tonight I realize that...

Muse is more than a good band !

I was at La Salle Pleyel tonight with my parents to listen to the concert-version of the Opera "Samson et Delila" by Camille Saint-Saens.

Honestly, for me, Camille Saint-Saens it's Le Carnaval des Animaux, and especially these arias :

The Swan 

(almost a year since that post...)

The Aquarium
Mostly known as ...



The theme of the Rose in Disney's Beauty and Beast !

And...

This one !
The final ! And the brilliant animé made by Disney for Fantasia 2000 !!

So, tonight, well no, last week-end when Dad talked about tonight, I discovered that Camille Saint Saens didn't compose only this brilliant masterpiece ! He also composed Operas. Especially, "Samson et Dalila", the one we heard tonight.

I check the program from the last page to the first one. Always by the last because it's where you find the composition of the Orchestra. Since I worked with the Orchestre Lamoureux, I like to check the names, just like that. Tonight I knew one of the horn players. He plays sometimes with Lamoureux. It was fun to see his name, and them, see him on stage.

Then, second surprise. I read the resumé of the opera and see that one of the most famous aria from the second act is called "Mon Coeur s'ouvre à ta voix". First reaction "funny, it's like one of Muse's song..."

First act, well, I slept a little bit. Second act... The aria. It woke me up, I was singing the lyrics cuz Muse used the aria for the song "I Belong to You / Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix" ! It was awesome !

Back home, I checked the Resistance booklet : 

"I Belong to You (+ Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix) from 2:56-3:52 features parts of "Mon Coeur S'Ouvre A Ta Voix" from the Opera "Samson and Delilah" composed by Camille Saint Saens, re-arranged by M. Bellamy, performed by Muse. !!
