Late Romantic Music And The Musical Discourse

Improved Essays
The visual climax at the end is reciprocated by the musical climax. When Gisele reads the letter, she gathers her thoughts and realises that she needs to make the chase for her husband, deciding to save their marriage before its too late. The music slows down and the backing music disappears as she ignores and disregards the madness of her life and people around her to make the chase for the most important being, her husband. She is drawn out of her busy world and back into bare reality, a place where only the simple things matter. We are left with a handful of soft chords and the exposed, pureness of Fangs voice whilst she makes the romantic chase, “Music, especially lushly scored late Romantic music, can trigger a response of ‘epic feeling’.

    Since the professionalization of world history the lens that historians would look through was supremely Eurocentric. The other parts of the world had their accomplishments and contributed to the world as a whole, but Europe was usually the protagonist in the stories told. More recently world historians have been viewing the world through what Ross Dunn describes as the “Different Cultures Model,” which looks at the past from the opposite perspective. The modern historians Lynda Shaffer, Xinru Liu, Deborah Smith Johnston, and Robert Marks do not view the Post-Classical Era as a Eurocentric. While all the aforementioned modern historians take on different topics in their writings, they all view the Post-Classical Era through the New World History…

    I must confess, I was very skeptical when I heard about Alexander Hamilton musical at first. I'll start with a short summery of the play before we discuss it further. Alexander Hamilton is a show about young rebels grabbing and shaping the future of an unformed country, “Hamilton” is making its own mark in history by changing the language of musicals. It does so by insisting that the forms of song most frequently heard on pop radio stations in recent years — rap, hip-hop and R&B will be the musical's main songs and language. Washington, Jefferson, Madison — they’re all here, making war and writing constitutions and debating points of economic structure.…
