Video summary
14-year-old Simran and 11-year-old Vraj are excited about the spring festival of Holi.
It celebrates new life, and the victory of good over evil.

We hear the story of Prince Prahlad, a pious boy who insisted on worshiping the God Vishnu instead of his father the king. Prahlad's aunt Holika tried to kill him on a bonfire, but the flames killed her instead.

Hindus mark the festival by building bonfires which they believe purify the air of anything evil.

We see the children at a Holi bonfire, putting coconuts on the fire.

Offerings such as popcorn, coconuts and chick peas are thrown onto the fire as offerings to God, to say thank you for the spring and the crops.

Holi is also known as the festival of colour, when Hindus celebrate the beauty of colour that God has put into the world.

The children have a lot of fun throwing coloured paint at each other with their friends.

Different colours symbolise different virtues of the soul, such as power, purity and love.

On this day there are no rules, and they can throw colours at anyone without being told off.

This is from the collection: My Life, My Religion - Hinduism

Smetana: “The Moldau” - National Symphony ... - VideoLink

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The NSO performs what many consider to be Czech composer Bedřich Smetana’s most famous tune, "The Moldau." Czech composer Bed˘rich Smetana (BED-rick SMET–ah-na) was inspired to write The Moldau by nature, memories of his personal adventures, and a deep love for his country. The work is named after an actual river that runs from a mountainside, through the Czech countryside, and into the city of Prague. In his music, Smetana tells the story of the river’s journey as it passes people and events happening along its banks. Smetana even composes music to describe white water rapids! Smetana visited the Moldau River several times in his life. He wove those personal memories and impressions into a lush melody that serves as a river theme. You will notice that the river theme starts gently but then its melody swells as the river widens. You will also notice that Smetana changes the music to depict different scenes on the riverbanks. Listen for Smetana’s use of French horns and trumpets sounding like hunters chasing a deer through the forest. Listen for the violins performing a polka, (a lively couple dance) at a wedding party. And listen for the flutes as Smetana imagines mermaids in the moonlight. Part of Young People’s Concert: Inspiration! Hosted by Michael Butterman and Marisa Regni, May 24, 2016.
