I really loved the first excerpt “Play of Virtues” I felt as if it told a story. I think I would better understood the music if I knew the different instrument and knew the different melody of all the different notes. But simply for the fact of how beautiful all the instruments sounded together I loved it.
In the Princess Leia’s theme from Star Wars, composed by John Williams, the melody is super important to the movie. This song makes me feel like I’m going on a trip. I don’t watch Star Wars, but that intro makes me want to go watch all the movies. It makes you feel excited, like even if you don’t watch Star Wars everyone knows the intro to the movies. In my opinion the song is amazing and well put together.
The two excerpts from the Star War films do not have more of an impact on me then Hildegard’s musical excerpt simply because I am unfamiliar with all the pieces. Yet, I find them both beautiful ad well written. I appreciate both composers and what they have written. In my opinion they cannot be compared because they are two different styles of musical selection.
