During the nineteenth century, music composers got inspiration from sources outside of the musical world. The encounter with nature, a love tragedy, impressions of a journey, or a play often served as motives that could be portrayed through music by using different colors, sound effects and moods. In this type of music, events are described and as such it is called descriptive music. One of the most well known composers of the nineteenth century of this type of music is Hector Berlioz.
Hector Berlioz was born in Grenoble, France in 1803. At his father’s request, Berlioz pursued studies in medicine before deciding to live his life as a music composer. His angry father decided to terminate all of Berlioz’s living supplies. Thus, while studying music in Paris, Berlioz began his career as a music critic to earn a living. While in Paris, Berlioz saw a play by William Shakespeare, which greatly inspired him. Berlioz composed many musical pieces that were inspired by literature works, such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Damnation of Faust and The Trojans. Perhaps the most famous piece by Hector Berlioz is Symphonie Fanstastique.
Symphonie Fanstastique is a notable piece of the early Romantic period, which was

The main idea from the first movement comes back again, which later transitions to the waltz theme again. In this movement, the artist is attending a ball, and is enjoying the beautiful notes of the waltz when he remembers his love again. The harp playing in the background indicates a sense of loneliness felt by the artist; he imagines dancing with his love in the ball room when he suddenly realizes that it is only a dream and he is still in the ball. The louder music is to suggest that there are people in the ballroom, dancing around the artist. At the end of this part, the music gets faster, which creates a sense of urgent need for the beloved
In the second section it represents the women fighting for their freedom. The movements are a lot more circular in this section. It uses more contractions, releasing & vibratory movements. In the first two sections, the dancer shows the struggle being not only physical but emotional also. She does this by the powerful expressions she uses on her face. She even imitates a couple of screams that play in the song ‘Been On A Train’. This gives the audience a clear understanding of the how she is feeling.
Music in the nineteenth century saw the creation and evolution of new music genres such as the piano miniature, short expressive piano pieces. During this time raw emotion and expressionism prevailed as the focus of music during this described “Romantic” movement. Robert Schumann’s “Grillen”, from Fantasiestucke, Opus 12 was written in July 1837 contains several virtues of music during his time period. Schumann’s uses various qualities in his music such as form, pitch, rhythm and meter, and texture so express different attitudes within his music. These qualities convey music that characterizes romanticism as very emotional, expressional, and dramatic. Schumann’s piano miniature remains a supreme example of the Romantic style in its uses
A waltz is a song in ¾ time, meaning that there are three beats in each measure. Accordingly, the poem is written to sound like a waltz, making use of different spacing and separation of the lines. Certainly, this conjures up ideas of dancing and excitement. The way Roethke uses the exact word from the title at the end of the poem ties it together, giving it a sense of peace. Although “such waltzing was not easy,” the boy’s love for his father did not falter. In many cases, when something we truly love becomes difficult, we do not give up on it. In short, the flow the author uses emphasises the presence of his adoration for his father. The words he selects highlight the wonderful memories he has of this man who played an important role in his life.Notably, Roethke provides eye catching words that illustrate scenes that appeal to the same
The use of symbolism and imagery is beautifully orchestrated in a magnificent dance of emotion that is resonated throughout the poem. The two main ideas that are keen to resurface are that of personal growth and freedom. Furthermore, at first glimpse this can be seen as a simple poem about a women’s struggle with her counterpart. However, this meaning can be interpreted more profoundly than just the causality of a bad relationship.

The last two lines of the poem are the key to understanding the tone and meaning behind the poem: “Then waltzed me off to bed / Still clinging to your shirt” (15-16). A perfect image of a son caught up in a moment with his father. Like all children he does not tire of the playtime. He doesn’t want to stop dancing; he doesn’t want to let go, and he doesn’t want to go to bed.
The Music of the classical and Romantic era is a period of time where it shows the development and different styles of music. This can be shown through the manipulation of musical elements, (dynamics, pitch, tempo, rhythm, texture, meter, tonality, structure, melody, harmony, instrument) while contrasting them, but it can also be shown through the composers of the music, the size of the orchestra, musical directions, emotional content, and non-musical developments through that period of time.
Throughout “My Papa’s Waltz” the father dances with the child before bedtime being loose, silly, and carefree. This is a bonding experience for father and son as he “hung on like death,”(Roethke 3) pretending almost as if this was a carnival ride. The son captivated and unwilling to let go as he's still “clinging on to your shirt,” (Roethke 16) refusing for the playful activity to end. In the same manner, the son in “Dance with my Father,” uses the dancing as a memory to cherish when he looses his father remembering when he would “spin me around till I fell asleep”(Vandross 5). The son dreams of the opportunity to “get another chance, another walk, another dance with him,”(Vandross 9-10) because it was such a positive bonding experience that he shared with his father. In remembering his father, the dance is always a happy unforgettable flashback. The playful activity and bonding experience of dancing was a positive moment that each son shared with his
He creates this dance-like feel in a variety of ways. Firstly, the 2/4 time signature makes the music feel upbeat compared to the 4/4 time signature of the rest of the piece. Secondly, the sforzando accent on the first beat of every bar drives the music onwards. Also the catchy, short and rhythmic melody is lively and metronomic. Finally the fiddle-like manner in which the violins play creates a sense of a dance. There are unexpected changes and dramatic dynamic changes throughout the trio which are both romantic qualities. The fact that this movement moves seamlessly into the next is also romantic.
The tempo throughout the song varies from adagio to allegro, but favors the allegro speed in most of the piece. As most of us have agreed, this specific movement is very repetitive in texture and tone. We believe repetition is a main them in the song to help the listener get a feel for the piece and help them memorize it better. As the melody progresses, the tone and volume of the piece make a drastic change. It slows down as to show the time of year is slowing. No longer are children running and playing outside, it portrays winter being right around the corner. The tone continues to fall lower, giving the listener a feel of sorrow, as if death is in the air. The visualization of leaves falling is imprinted in the listeners mind. Then suddenly, the tempo rapidly picks up and jumps right back into the main chorus, which is abruptly cut short. The tune firmly begins to build up as it almost lullabies the listener through the composition, while the volume steadily increases. I can picture myself swaying in the wind to the cool fall breeze as the sun sets on the warm colors of the fall leaves. Just as the lullaby seems to pick up in pace, it slowly fades in to the distance. Once again the volume of the piece quickly increases and has the listener on the edge of their seat as joy fills the air. The pitch jumps from low to high between each instrument as they begin to
The first tool Berlioz employs to tell his story is instrumentation. The type of instrument that is used can drastically change the feelings a musical piece expresses and therefore the story that it tells. Different instruments have their own characteristics and own
