    Prokofiev did such a good job of conveying cold aristocratic arrogance in the main theme of the Dance of the Knights, and quiet interpersonal discovery and growing feelings in the middle section. And the way the main theme comes back in slowly as a crescendo gradually picking up all former instruments at 4:40 is perfect for the overbearing nature of the Montagues and Capulets that intrude upon the quiet personal feelings of Romeo and Juliet.

      @Igor_servant_of_Philemon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +260

      That is because of the strong contrast of the high violins and deep bass horns im combination with the heavy drum sounds and the thunderous cymbals. Even the most ambitious guitarists can only visualize their emotions in the range their instrument can play. That is why some metal bands combine classical music and instruments with modern elements and styles.

    • @Igor_servant_of_Philemon
      @Igor_servant_of_Philemon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +63

      Also most modern bands don't really take the time it needs to create the right mood and build an Athmosphere. Therefore mostly the emotional ranges of the songs are minimal. A good example for a band taking its time to bring emotion across would be the german gothic band "subway to sally". On their CDs they are rather mediocre because of the record label wants the songs to be rather short to be more profitable, but if you see them life, they play lutes, bagpipes, violins etc and stretch the song to be twice as long as the studio version. Here is an example to one of their songs about a child that grows up in solitude without friends or a living family. th-cam.com/video/BQJYwJKbrlg/w-d-xo.html

      Actually, John Williams kind of had to rip off a lot of classical music for the Star Wars soundtrack. George Lucas originally chose some specific classical songs for the soundtrack (I don’t remember which) because of Kubrick’s 2001, but later on he decided to have Williams compose it because he really liked the Jaws soundtrack. However, as the scenes were made with the classical soundtrack in mind, Williams had to compose similar sounding songs for the soundtrack.
