#yayhamiltunes!

i started overanalyzing hamilton orchestrations in hopes of better coping with the emotional pain but oh how that plan has backfired / many thanks to lin-manuel miranda & alex lacamoire for creating such a wonderful piece of art

So I wanted to see if Ten Duel Commandments and The World Was Wide Enough used the exact same backing, and then this happened

I JUST SCREAMED

Have you ever listened to the orchestration during “my name is Angelica Schuyler” “Alexander Hamilton” “where’s your family from?” in Satisfied because it’s so fucking pretty

[yayhamiltunes]

angelica’s theme: a reference post*

hello hello hello! can we please talk about the melody that shows up every time angelica shows up? it is wonderful wonderful wonderful. (audio is me playing it on piano as how it shows up in “take a break,“ at a slower tempo - definitely not as wonderful as the original, but i tried)

it appears (sometimes slightly modified) in:

satisifed

take a break

non-stop

the reynolds pamphlet

also - fun fact (courtesy of #hamiltome & this tweet) that the melody was originally written for karen olivo!

BUT– i’d like to raise a question. at the very end of “take a break” this melody shows up in the strings! (it’s different in that only the ascending parts of the arpeggio are played..) is that deliberately angelica’s theme or just a coincidence that the melody is repeated? :0

*basically i’ll be updating this post if anything new ever comes up on alex lacamoire’s twitter or from anyone else!

[yayhamiltunes]

your "angelica's theme" is broken

ahhh you’re right! thanks for letting me know :) looking into it right now. maybe check back in a few minutes / hours? :/

EDIT: this should work (i deleted the old post) - let me know if it doesn't..

Have none of these people listened to The Reynolds Pamphlet, track 37 of 46 in Hamilton: An American Musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda

the downward rush in the piano melody right after “you’ve married an icarus / he has flown too close to the sun” reblog if you agree

[yayhamiltunes]

so nice to hear that karen olivo was in some way involved with the creation of the angelica theme !! that arpeggio is so very wonderful, every time it comes up

remember when i made an actual professional instrumental and it took weeks

[yayhamiltunes]

ok does anyone else cry during “ever-favorite object of my heart” or

[yayhamiltunes]

the ham vinyl is really exciting for many many reasons but most importantly

playing the rewind part in “satisfied” backwards

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yayhamiltunes]

the first time you hear a little part of the ham orchestration repeating itself later on is a wonderful feeling like ‘wow is this really happening ? this is brilliant . WOW’

then youre like ‘i must know more’ & next thing you know every time the ham orchestration thing repeats itself you are in tears bc it’s too much for you, both technically & emotionally

[yayhamiltunes]

ok but aCTUALLY -

angelica’s theme (what i call the background stuff of ‘satisfied’ where it first occurs .. i dunno let me know if there’s a better name for it) shows up in so many places ?? it’s so wonderful .

sometimes only the 1st half will show up (?) but it’s there

im gonna make a ref post for this soon ok
