The Bible and Music

Today we discussed a lot, but what stuck out to me was listening to Schönberg – Pelleas and Melisande. We discussed the difference between classical music and romantic music.  Classical music is more focused on the creation of music and following the rules, and essentially creating standard music, whereas romantic music is made to make you feel certain emotions and connect to the music on a deeper level.  This was something new I learned, and it made me question what kind of music I listen to; classical or romantic.
