I think it would be fun to write a musical, and relatively easy. Like, I’m gay. How hard can it be?
Turns out it’s very hard 💀

If you put an orchestra behind anyone it’s brilliant
RIP Takeoff 🤎
Life update because it’s been literal years….
I got published last month, and shortly after I started working on a project for a movie. I feel good
The Baroque Period
One of the major philosophical currents that culminated in the Baroque period were the ideas that emerged from Greece and Rome, the ones which said that music was a powerful driving force and could evoke any sort of emotions and that it was a tool for communication. Claudio Monteverdi once defined how exactly it can be used for communication. He said, the first part must establish structure and harmony. Then, the second part should focus completely on expressing your words in the most meaningful way possible.This sense of structure in baroque is what makes its music the most logical and well organised and planned music to ever exist, in the periods to come and in the periods that had already gone by.Baroque composers usually wrote textbooks on the instrument or instruments they specialized in, explaining their composing method, and how they made sure the sense of structure did not kill the sense of melody and emotionMusic written during this period would usually also allow more instruments to enter the ensemble. Since the composers did not designate the number of instruments to sit in the orchestra, they usually wrote a part for an instruments called continuo and basso continuo. These parts could be taken by any two-hand instrument like the harpsichord, harp, or organ.
Most music was written for the harpsichord because the piano wasn’t so popular at the time. One of the few baroque works for piano was ‘Ave Maria’ by JS Bach.
Trills, tremolos, and other such musical ornaments were frequently used in baroque music to create incredibly detailed, intricate pieces.
Polyphony of use of counterpoint was common and much appreciated, where 2-3 melodies combine to form a dominant harmonic melody
Terraced dynamics was also a technique that was commonly used, where there are big and/or sudden dynamic contrasts (loud to soft, fast to slow and vice-versa)
Popular compositional forms include fugues, dance suites, toccatas, partitas, and concertos.
Symphonies were not so common at the time. In baroque pieces, mainly string instruments were used; the woodwinds and brass section were not so common.
Key signature were used to convey the different affections. C Major: rejoicing, impudent, C Minor: sweet, but sad, D Major: stubborn, noisy, warlike and rousing, D Minor: devout, serious, grand, calming, E Flat Major: pathetic, plaintive, E Major: the fatal separation of body and soul, E Minor: pensive and grieving, but not without hope, G Flat Minor: distress, abandonment, G Major: persuasive and brilliant, G Minor: grace, kindness, loveliness, A Major: gripping and clear, A Minor: honorable and calm, B Flat Major: magnificent, yet modest, B Minor: hard, unpleasant and desperate.
classical music hoe aesthetic
- cries over the sound of a really good chord
- doodles treble clefs all over everything
- giggles when violinists say ‘f-holes’
- brings up music in every single conversation
- emotionally attached to people that have been dead for 200 years
- points out whenever their instrument plays in the soundtrack when watching a movie (as a result, no one wants to watch movies with them)
- develops a crush on anyone who is really talented
- gets a dreamy look on the face when Tchaikovsky is played
-spends 300 dollars on a mouthpiece
- goes to everyone’s recitals for the free food
- will get in a fistfight over funding for the arts
I thought this was really lame and then I realised that this is literally me 💀
As a composer I exert dominance by placing a random fugue in the middle of a piece to let other composers know that I’m the shit.
Sheet music, but every time it says crescendo it gets louder
This is really passive aggressive and I feel like my conductor ghost wrote it
Composers
You ever just get weird to the music you write?
Help! - a beginner pianist
I'm learning a new piece and i stumbked upon this.. The bass clef stops and turns into a Treble lef.. but i cant play with my right hand on such different notes, but the left hand goes between bass clef on one note to the other notes in the treble clef's high ranged notes in a milisecond?? Am i supposed to cross over my right arm.. tips and help wanted!
Answer: I’m not a pianist. But yes. You’re supposed to cross over the right hand with the left hand in order to play those notes
Hi, I am a grade 6 pianist and I’m thinking about taking up another instrument. What would you recommend? I’m also left handed so strings may be a little difficult, I’m not sure. If you see this, thank you so much!
Learn a woodwind. They’re complicated.
today I found out flavoured reeds exist
if you can’t stomach the taste of pure unfiltered wood au naturel then your taste buds are fucking WEAK don’t @ me
Ravel - Kaddisch (arr. Cello and Piano)
the beef between STEM and arts + humanities is so tired. science and art are the same. sister subjects. they’ve fueled one another for years. one cannot exist without the other. they’re both made of the same kind of wonder, one tries to attain long sought after things in reality, and the other impliments the stuff of dreams. logic and emotionality. they’re both exercises of imagination. it’s all just beautiful, academic sludge.
we just need to team up to bully business majors
Unpopular opinion: A lot of music majors shouldn’t be music majors.
