Heard acts 3 and 4 past Saturday night, and liked the music. Music in Act 4 really grabbed my attention. It was a familiar version of a piece called "The Dance of the Hours" -- which is also in Fantasia.
Another famous parody of "The Dance of the Hours" is Allan Sherman's song Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh, describing a miserable time at summer camp. It uses the main theme of the ballet as its melody.
