"The Magic of the Wizard's Dream" is the third single recorded by Italian symphonic power metal band Rhapsody, released in 2005.
The original track was part of their 2004 album Symphony of Enchanted Lands II: The Dark Secret and is reproposed here in basically two versions: a one with a slightly faster tempo and the album one. The faster version is sung by Fabio Lione, with Christopher Lee as a guest, in four different languages (English, Italian, French and German) plus an orchestral mix of the English one.
Other songs include "Autumn Twilight", a fast-paced track, and "Lo Specchio d'Argento" ("The Silver Mirror") a power ballad with Italian lyrics.

Famous quotes containing the words magic, wizard and/or dream:
“The magic of procedure: do this after that and thus before so; then your wish will be granted.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The obvious parallels between Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz have frequently been noted: in both there is the orphan hero who is raised on a farm by an aunt and uncle and yearns to escape to adventure. Obi-wan Kenobi resembles the Wizard; the loyal, plucky little robot R2D2 is Toto; C3PO is the Tin Man; and Chewbacca is the Cowardly Lion. Darth Vader replaces the Wicked Witch: this is a patriarchy rather than a matriarchy.”
—Andrew Gordon, U.S. educator, critic. “The Inescapable Family in American Science Fiction and Fantasy Films,” Journal of Popular Film and Television (Summer 1992)
“Guildenstern. The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
Hamlet. A dream itself is but a shadow.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
