Mitchell - The Fiddle and the Drum (C Major)

Mehr lesen

Joni Mitchell’s The Fiddle and the Drum explores Mitchell’s life-long concerns about environmental neglect and the warring nature of mankind within a ballet performed to a select soundtrack of her eternal songs. The unique combinations of three art forms – music, dance and art – comprise an engaging spectacle that Joni calls “…the best project of her career.” Legendary Canadian artist Joni Mitchell and internationally acclaimed choreographer Jean Grand-Maître of the Alberta Ballet Company are the co-creators of Joni Mitchell’s The Fiddle and The Drum.

This narrative ballet was performed to an especially re–mastered soundtrack of Mitchell’s compelling music - her musical selections are from her earliest to latest recordings such as: For the Roses, Passion Play, Slouching Towards Bethlehem, The Beat of Black Wings, Sex Kills, The Three Great Stimulants and The Fiddle and The Drum.
