“The symphony that Beethoven called the Pastoral, his sixth, is one of the few pieces of music he ever wrote that tells something like a definite story. ”
―Deems Taylor [src]
Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 in F major, Op. 68, also known as The Pastoral Symphony , is the fifth segment of Fantasia . It utilized delicate color styling to depict a mythical ancient Greek world of centaurs, families of Pegasus , the Gods of Mount Olympus , fauns, cupids, and other legendary creatures and characters of classical mythology. It tells the story of the mythological creatures gathering for a festival to honor Bacchus , the god of wine riding his horned donkey, Jacchus ; the bacchanal is disturbed by Zeus , who decides to have a little fun by throwing thunderbolts at the attendees.
