In honor of Valentine's Day, we will be studying Romantic Era music this month. Don't worry though, romantic era music isn't all sappy love stories (although there are some). Romantic era composers were experts at weaving strong emotions of all types into their music. Whether they were professing their love in song, describing something in nature, telling an epic tale, or just trying to write beautiful music, these composers always expressed themselves through an emotional lens. We hope you enjoy this brief glimpse into a fascinating time period in history. Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Listening. Music 101 |
