#ANTHEMSCORE DOES NOT WORK VERY WELL MOVIE#
PS: I also enjoy (some) film music without the movie As long as we enjoy it, everything is good For some reason it's getting rarer to see people listening to opera without wrinkling their noses and/or rolling their eyes. No, I don't take it as criticism, we each appreciate music in our own way, and for our own reasons. I am not intending it to be this way at all, and I am only trilll to find another fan even if you appreciate it in your own way. So don't let my words be a criticism of you.
But of course, one can just view it as music and song too. But without the staging was not the reason the Florentine Camerata invented opera in the sixteenth century - a work of drama and not just song.

Similarly, for opera, you have full right to listen to opera, on the radio, in your shower, whenever and however you wish. While such a hypothetical art appreciator certainly has the right to enjoy his art any way he wants and to appreciate it for qualities others don't commonly appreciate or perhaps, even notice, the way he appreciates it is not the way that that art form was intended to be experienced. in the bigger picture, I'm just don't feel comfortable with it, just like I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable with someone telling me he likes paintings because he likes the way the textures of the different brush strokes feel under his fingers. I came to the piano in a similar way I just love singing, but I cannot sing (voice broke), so the piano is my outlet, even as bad as I am at present, I still feel the piano sings for me I came to the piano in a similar way I just love singing, but I cannot sing (voice broke), so the piano is my outlet, even as bad as I am at present, I still feel the piano sings for me. It could be pop, rock, folk, country (but not jazz please), but it's gotta speak to me. There's plenty of other music I like as well, plenty of music in the goosebump category. no imaging necessary, the music is enough, it tells the story. The music I really like, is music that conveys the feeling that the composer intended, even if you're blindfolded. It matters very much how it makes you feel. Put me in front of a video of Placido Domingo singing Vesti la Giubba, and I'm in heaven, I could care less if he's 'on stage' wearing a costume and clown makeup, or not.ĭoes it matter 'what the composer intended'? I don't think so.
If music speaks to me, gives me goosebumbs, that is what counts for me. While I like to watch the video at times, it is very beautiful, it's the music that counts. I was taken to 'Swan Lake' in that same period, and that music has been my trusty companion ever since, have the video, have the CD, listen to it all the time. Ironically, I don't think I've ever seen or heard that one since.
My first opera, at the age around 8 or 9 or so, was Mozart's 'Die Entführung aus dem Serail', and while the spectacle, the costumes etc captured me, I was thinking 'wow! these people can really SING', and it was the music that stayed with me. I was exposed to all this at a very young age.
If I like a piece of music/singing, it matters not a bit to me how or where it's performed (as long as it's good). I can blame it all on shopping for opera discs. On an impulse, I bought a keyboard that afternoon (a Roland FP30 and not that first Casio). In November 2017, I was shopping for opera Blu-ray's and came across a Casio keyboard on the landing page of. I actually came to piano because of opera. I'm an opera superfan and a patron member of the NY Met. My life would be so much poorer without Gounod, Bizet, Lehar & Co.Īgreed in the case of Bizet.
