Julius Caesar Soundtrack

This attempt quickly failed when she said that his hubris just took over. “I knew that Caesar should have stayed away from the Senate house yesterday, but I guess his pride just took over his mind, it was just all too much,” Calpurnia sobbed. “This has turned out to be the most tragic moment in my life and I hope those conspirators kneel to the gods, for they have upset the heavens with the killing of the mightiest leader Rome has ever seen.”

Contrasting to ‘Didn’t my lord deliver Daniel’ we move onto ‘Fix me Jesus’ which is performed as a duet and portrays the priest and someone that has gone to confess. The lighting changes to blue and white which gives a crystal like intensity. At the start of this section the male figure is stood behind the women and almost covers her movements as if to protect her and to show the trust. The repetition of the women’s hand gestures also seems as if he’s giving her his blessing. There is also repetition from sub section one ‘I’ve been buked’ with the use of proximity and actions such as the bird pose which helps to portray the emotion of this part. Throughout this part the women doesn’t always focus on her partner but is still reliable on him. This is shown through tilted balances and lifts where the male is the supporter. There is an extensive use of weight bearing, strength and trust which are all metaphors within this piece and the use of off kilter positions and balletic actions help to enhance the mood.

The main thing Caesar’s wife, Calpurnia does in the play is tell Caesar to stay at home on the day of his murder because of many unnatural events that have taken place the night before and because she has had

The film commences with the declaration of “Mozart! Mozart!” as opposed to the play’s “Salieri! Salieri!” In the play, Salieri doesn’t mention Mozart in his speech until the end. He goes on and on about his undying passion for absolute music and his dedication to his father, the Lord, until finally “The same year I left Lombardy, a young prodigy was touring

In this play, Julius Caesar returns to Rome to find that he has the unconditional support of the Plebeians. As he gains more power, his friends worry that he will completely take over the city, and so they conspire with one another to kill him. Preceding the attack, the conspirators notice many strange occurrences in Rome, such as a “lion who looked at [them] and strutted by without bothering to attack,” a “threatening” and “destructive” storm, and a “common slave” whose “hand did flame and burn.” The conspirators perceive these bizarre circumstances as omens that they should kill Caesar and quickly carry out their plan. When the conspirators confront him, they stab him thirty-three times, and then announce his death to the citizens of Rome, expecting a positive response but receiving the opposite. Rome is plunged into violence as the plebeians attempt to find the conspirators responsible for Caesar’s death. Citizens swarm the streets of their city, killing innocent people, such as Cinna the Poet, believing that they are among the group of people responsible for killing Caesar. This violence and death represents the weak condition that Rome continues in throughout the play. Caesar’s body represents the body of Rome, and when he is wounded, the entire city feels wounded as well. The chaos that Rome undergoes after Caesar’s death is symbolic of his importance to the city. The

For my creative piece of my book project I chose to create a youtube playlist featuring song I believe best express the mood and tone of Shakespeare’s historical tragedy, Julius Caesar. Not only did I choose a couple of songs that would fit in with the feeling of the play, but I also arranged the songs in such a way that would actually tell the story of Julius Caesar. The first song I chose for my playlist is Here I Go Again by Whitesnake. I chose this song to be the first because in the play Julius Caesar just got finished waging war on his arch nemesis Pompey and claimed victory solely on his own and he was able to accomplish this feat through his stupendous leadership skills. My next song I chose was Be Prepared from Disney’s The Lion King

The last stanza which has only one line that is not repetitive goes as “ Take off your clothes and dream that fame, come on and feel that shame.” This lyric I believe where the clothes represent the worries someone has that is stopping them for example Juliet she was too afraid to take the potion but when she does she got what she wanted, the wedding ended, although the last lyric can mean the risks that came with doing so for example both Romeo,and Paris dying this is the shame.

This sound perfectly matches the character’s reaction to their judges, which anger and defiance. This can be seen from the lyrics “So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye, So you think you can love me and leave me to die, Oh baby, can’t do this to me baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here”. However, this doesn’t last long, for after a short and powerful guitar riff, the song shifts to a down tempo ballad. This leads to the character feeling resignation and complacency with the lyrics “Nothing really matters, anyone can see, Nothing really matters...to me”. Then the song fades out with the character saying “Any way the wind blows”, as if they are accepting whatever challenge they had

For instance, in the song it starts out all slow and sad talking about how he was on trial for his life and losing friends but as you get later in the song there is a huge mood swing and it goes all hard and tough. “ This is it… I am being sent to the Furnace” (page 94). That quote from t he book most closely relates to the beginning of the song. “ I knew from that moment I was going to fight Cobo.” (page 53).

The first instance where Caesar shows the theme was in Act I Scene ii of the play, where the Soothsayer tells Caesar to, “Beware the ides of March”(I.ii.21). He responds with, “He is a dreamer. Let us leave him. Pass!”(I.ii.28). This shows us how arrogant he is, and how he is so ambitious that he does not heed the Soothsayer’s warnings. Another example where Caesar shows his ambition is when he talks to Antony and says, “Would he were fatter! But I fear him not. Yet if my name were liable to fear, I do not know the man I should avoid So soon as that spare Cassius. He reads much. He is a great observer, and he looks Quite through the deeds of men. He loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony. He hears no music. Seldom he smiles, and smiles in such a sort As if he mocked himself and scorned his spirit That could be moved to smile at anything. Such men as he be never at heart’s ease Whiles they behold a greater than themselves, And therefore are they very dangerous. I rather tell thee what is to be feared Than what I fear, for always I am Caesar”(I.ii.204-218). This reveals his ambition because it shows that he does not want competition, and that he does not want people around him

In Act II of the play, Julius Caesar, the character says “ You came just in time to convey my greetings to the senators and to tell them that I will not come today” (II, ii, 60-61). Caesar says this to Decius and commands him to go tell this to the senate. Caesar is not going to the senate, even though he knows its because they want to crown him king. He is not going because his wife has had terrible dreams about it but Decius talks him into going anyway. Caesar ends up getting killed at the senate by the conspirators, who are the group of men who want Caesar dead. The lead man in the group, Brutus, is one of Caesar’s close friends and Caesar is heartbroken when he turns and Brutus puts the final dagger into his side. Marc Antony is Caesar's right hand man and he is very upset and angry about Caesar's death. Marc Antony and Brutus both give speeches at Caesar’s funeral about their sides of the story. Marc Antony gave a more outstanding speech compared to the one Brutus gave and he gained the most followers from it.

For my artistic interpretation of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar I chose the scene where Mark Anthony lifts Caesar’s mantle to the crowd. I chose this scene because it marks the climax of the play and also marks when the crowd stops supporting Brutus’s claims of justice and instead supports Antony claims of injustice against Caesar. The mantle has dark red - purple lines emanating from the tears in the fabric, this symbolizes dried blood and the conspirators clothing has red splotches of fresh blood because it captures the moment in time when they stabbed Caesar. The background shows the bottom of the pulpit and the senate house. I choose the pulpit because when Mark Antony enters the stage in act three scene two he, “[e]nter[s] with

2.In Act Two Scene Two, a series of bad omens appear throughout the setting of the play and even in Caesar’s wife’s dream. Calpurnia, Caesar’s wife, has a horrible dream showing her an image of her husband’s statue with one hundred wounds spewing blood as the people of Rome wash their hands in his blood (2.2.80-87). A series of other bad omens occurred, including a lion walking in the capitol, an owl out in the daytime, and the dead rising from their graves. During this scene, I would play Foundry, performed by the 2017 North Texas Wind Symphony (John Mackey). During this piece, the low and middle bass sections have the main foundational rhythms while the upper woodwinds and brass have the main melody, and the percussion section is beating on metal objects like they’re in a factory. The overall feeling of this piece is hectic, and loud;

We in the 21st century enjoy Shakespeare’s plays for a variety of reasons. His plays have different themes like love, ambition, pride, friendship, supernatural, etc. His language is rich and full of imagery. Many of his famous quotes are used even till today such as "To be, or not to be" and "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"-Romeo and Juliet, form some of literature's most

March, as Caesar was assassinated, Caesar's last line is: "Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar,"(Act 3, scene 1, line 77). I think Caesar realized that there must be a reason for this assassination if Brutus was part of it. This again shows how much Caesar respects Brutus.
