The Bible and Music

On Monday in class we talked about the musical piece “The Messiah”. I have never heard the piece before so it was very interesting to learn about it and how it was made. I found it interesting how the words were constructed first. Typically I think the music is made first and the words follow. I think that could potentially be an interesting final project. To create the lyrics of a song first and then add the music behind it.

We also watched a scene from The Crown. I have always wanted to watch it so it was very interesting to see. I did not know they added so much of the religious aspect into the ceremony. I did not think that ceremony would mix with religion. The anointing is very religious process. In the Catholic religion they anoint with holy oil on major ceremonies like baptism, confirmation, and anointing of the sick.
