Nutcracker Suite
1940, Fantasia 

The Nutcracker Suite, a selection of pieces from Tchaikovsky's now-classic ballet The Nutcracker, is a personified depiction of the changing of the seasons; first from summer to autumn, and then from autumn to winter. Unlike the original score, the Fantasia segment has no plot. It features a variety of dances, like the original, but danced by animated fairies, fish, flowers, mushrooms, and leaves; no actual nutcracker being seen.

"(At Vancouver International Jazz Festival) I heard piano improvisor, Paul Plimley for the first time. As Paul played,  I closed my eyes and had an intense synesthetic experience. When the show ended, I immediately started feeling a compulsion to express in animation what I had just experienced." - Michel Gagné (author site: http://www.gagneint.com/Final%20site/Gallery/gallery_index.html)

"The purely imaginary instruments perform in their native settings. The designs are fairly concrete. We generally prefer the look of real hardware over swirly, blobby abstract shapes."(official site: http://www.animusic.com)
