Disney and program music go hand in hand and it is no wonder why. Pieces similar to the Nutcracker Suite consist of great sounds that create many different types of images in ones head. The many runs and the quick switches in melodies and high to low notes is basic in creating images in someones head. When we listen to the music we can imagine many different types of things. What is most interesting about this is that the music is mostly created before the films. This means that many times Disney will create an animation to move in unison with the music instead of the reverse. So it is very interesting to think that the music is controlling the characters instead of the characters influencing what music will be playing.
