Talk:Dance of the Hours

Merge into La Gioconda?
This is largely La Gioconda trivia. Perhaps the best place for it is the opera article with other similar material? - Kleinzach 14:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, this should be merged
 * It would be worth having a separate section within La Gioconda about this. I second the merger proposal. DJRafe 18:20, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Probably a good idea, as this article is a stub anyway. A redirect would be a good idea IMHO. 67.189.48.7 00:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * No, this should not be merged.
 * This piece is famous in its own right due to its use in Fantasia--possibly more so than its source context (La Gioconda); however, many people don't know where it's from (I myself didn't until a few years ago or so). Having a separate article for it would be much better at getting people information about this piece in particular as well as finding out where it's from (redirects are always slightly "throwing off"). ~GMH talk to me 20:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Probably a dead issue now, but FWIW, I also oppose the merge. --   Jack of Oz   [your turn]  02:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's clearly dead. And I've just looked at last month's Popular opera pages, where it comes in at #322 (quite a bit below Flight of the Bumblebee, though!). --GuillaumeTell 10:28, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Trivia tag
I added the trivia tag today. This article doesn't describe or discuss a ballet scene at all. It mentions one only in the the first sentence, by way of a definition. This is just one of those "in popular culture" things. Hult041956 16:33, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Then by all means, you should add something about the ballet aspect of it. Then you would be doing something useful instead of hassling. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 16:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
 * To play devil's advocate, the trivia tag was halfway defensible. Especially compared to the unreferenced tag, which was applied when the article had one reference. Though not the best kind of reference, it counts, and it doesn't take a math genius to see that one is more than zero. Willi Gers07 (talk) 19:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Derivative Works
I'm surprised that the Perrey and Kingsley song "Countdown at 6" from their The In Sound from Way Out! album isn't listed in this section, as that's a notable derived work of "Dance of the Hours". Should I add it, or would someone else like to add it? --Dulcimerist (talk) 09:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

New Information
Heard on WMED Classical or WQLN that this was composed by a woman and not Ponchielli. True or false? Espngeek (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * (Did you mean to write WNED?) False. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
