Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky probably never imagined that his symphonies would one day become some of the world's most performed ballets.During the time he wrote what some consider his finest compositions, The Fourth Symphony and the opera Eugene Onegin, Tchaikovsky was dealing with the pains of being married to a woman while having sexual fantasies and encounters with men.
Nevertheless, the fine Russian composer created the sheet music for the Nutcracker and that's all that matters right now because if it weren't for the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, life wouldn't be so delicious (note our delightful pin-up ballerina pictured above, who waits for the candy cue). The song itself is mystical and intriguing, it's puzzling yet magical and the lyrics so tantalizing:
See the candy fairies, sugar-plums, jelly-beans, chocolate bars,
Dance the minuet,
With the candied cherries, lolly-pops, peppermints, candy-canes,
As they pirouette,
See the FAIRY PRINCESS curtsying, gracefully, beautifully,
Swaying to the tune...
Music in the air (so entrancing)
Flowers in her hair (as she's dancing)
Love is everywhere (Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h)
(SUGAR-PLUM FAIRY DANCES)
There she goes now, on her toes now,
To her yellow lemon-drop moon.
So next December, make sure to ask your sweet honey to purchase tickets for the Nutcracker. And before leaving, shine your lips with your favorite Lorac Mocktail flavored Lip gloss available at www.beauty.com. You may also want to have a glass of French Petit-Vedrines Sauternes dessert wine while you listen to a glimpse of what's to come: http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/nutcracker.htm
