White Nights is a 1985 American drama film directed by Taylor Hackford and choreographed by Twyla Tharp and stars Mikhail Baryshnikov, Gregory Hines, Jerzy Skolimowski, Helen Mirren and Isabella Rossellini. It was shot in Finland, Portugal, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and Austria.

The film is notable both for the dancing of Hines and Baryshnikov and for the Academy Award winning song "Say You, Say Me" by Lionel Richie in 1986, as well as "Separate Lives" performed by Phil Collins and Marilyn Martin and written by Stephen Bishop (also nominated).

"Le Jeune Homme et La Mort" (The Young Man and Death) is a ballet by French choreographer Roland Petit [1924-2011] with libretto by Jean Cocteau. It premiered on 25 June, 1946 in Paris.
Performed by Les Ballets des Champs-Elysées. The accompanying music is the Passacaglia in C Minor BMV 582 by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach [1685-1750],

Arranged by Michel Colombier "Le Jeune Homme et La Mort" was revived by Mikhail Baryshnikov at the American Ballet Theatre in 1975, and an abbreviated version of the ballet appears as the opening scene of the 1985 movie White Nights.

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O.S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and over three hundred cantatas of which around two hundred survive. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.
Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.

Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor (BWV 582) is an organ piece by Johann Sebastian Bach. Presumably composed early in Bach's career, it is one of his most important and well-known works, and an important influence on 19th and 20th century passacaglias: Robert Schumann described the variations of the passacaglia as "intertwined so ingeniously that one can never cease to be amazed

The passacaglia is in 3/4 time typical of the form. Bach's ostinato comprises eight bars, which is unusual but not unheard of: an ostinato of the same length is used, for example, in Johann Krieger's organ passacaglia. The opening of the piece, which consists of the ostinato stated in the pedal with no accompaniment from the manuals, is slightly more unusual, although this idea also occurs elsewhere, and may even have been used by Buxtehude. There are 20 variations in BWV 582/1. The first begins with a typical C minor affekt, "a painful longing" according to Spitta, similar to the beginning of Buxtehude's Chaconne in C minor (BuxWV 159). Numerous attempts have been made to figure out an overarching symmetrical structure of the work, but scholars have yet to agree on a single interpretation. Particularly important attempts were made by Christoph Wolff and Siegfried Vogelsänder. Some scholars have speculated that there is a symbolic component to the structure of the work: for instance, Martin Radulescu argues that BWV 582/1 is "in the form of a cross".

I remember Mikhail Baryshnikov and the cinematographer slaying it in a version of this song in White Knights. What a great combination of musical prowess and visual!

I'm sorry, I was wrong. The quality of the audio is OK. 'WEBM Audio-only - OPUS 160K ...': Overall bitrate: 139 kbit/s; Channels: 2; Sampling rate: 48 kHz.

But in 1 minute 10 seconds there is an EDITING of 1-2 fragments of this ostinato! With the music of great classics like Bach it's unacceptable! It's a profanation, even for a movie!
