Earlier this month during the kids' Osterferien (Easter break) we visited two new-to-us cities. We flew to Vienna (only about an hour flight) for 4 nights. Then we took a train from Vienna to Prague (approximately 3.5 hours) for another 3 nights before taking a train back to Berlin (maybe 4.5 hours) so that we could all be home and at our home church for Easter Sunday this year.
To recap our trip, I made a super duper quick montage which you can see below. The song I used had somehow become the "song of the trip" as it is from Mozart's famous opera "Die Zauberflöte" (The Magic Flute). It's the Queen of the Night's (Die Königin Der Nacht) impressive aria "Der Hölle Rache" (Hell's Revenge). The kids first heard this parrot hilariously singing it. And while in Vienna we saw the entire opera performed by marionettes. So the kiddos knew--and liked--the song. While in Vienna, Easton came across a CD of some remixed Mozart. Sort of techno-y, dub-steppy...I dunno. He's always been into classical music but since moving to Berlin he's gotten into dub step and remixes of songs and this CD is the souvenir he bought himself, largely because a version of that aria is on it.
Anyway because of Mozart's history in both Vienna and Prague, Easton insisted we use some Mozart for this montage. I was first looking into an electric guitar version of Eine kleine Nachtmusik but once we became obsessed with the aria and E bought the CD, we had to use this other work of Mozart instead. Enjoy...
