Classical music born on paper? Anyone who thinks classical music was born on paper must think their very own language evolves from the pen and paper. You don't think what you write, you write what you think. The only music that is born on paper is Meshuggah.
And you missed some important parts, like 'Legendary Tales' or 'Forest of Unicorn' with folklorical influence, the beginning of 'Eternal Glory' and it's back in 'The Mighty Ride of the Firelord', the dark 'In Tenebris', and 'Deadly Omen'. I have to say that you're right enough with the album 'Legendary Tales'.
2) I think you missed some important parts (though I know it's hard to make a good summary of this) and important information, like about different periods of music: Renaissance, Baroque, Classic, Romanticism, etc. Example, the first part of 'The Dark Tower of Abyss' is an imitation of Bach, and the second is of Vivaldi, (and 'Power of Raging Winds' is a copy of Vivaldi's wInter concert), but Symphony of Enchanted Lands are Romanticism brasses. And
Two things: 1) I noted a decline about quality of Rhapsody compositions, especially in classical parts: there's a combination of intense and delicate musical instinct inside the first albums, especially 'Legendary Tales' and 'Symphony of Enchanted Lands', in 'Dawn of Victory' was a pause on this respect (mainly), but later they could not or they did not want to back to those delicate treatment of the orchestra sounds (I think Staropoli).
close minded idiots who refuse to listen to music unless the radio or mtv tells them to is the reason why a creative and talented band like rhapsody (of fire) is not all that known. they don't have gold plated teeth while they ramble about their ho's, money, drugs, and cars, or whine about ex-girlfriends.. so therefore they "aren't cool" .. you must have missed the memo for cool people.. "classical music is gay"
side note .. before anyone starts yelling at me... I was being sarchastic in that last comment. I was talking from a "cool kid" point of view a.k.a "What!?!!?!?! you don't like soulja boy!?!?!?! you don't know shit about music to listen to that angry white boy music .. mixed with geezer music... (sadly .. I have been told something similar to that by some douchebags)
@shadowlorde lol damn man, deffinetily the decline of western civilization, nothing against rap, but it's become basically all the generalizations that you made, sadly, like you sated, most people nowadays are not insightful enough to look for a type of music that fills their soul. Let us hope for our society to enlighten one day, if not we're doomed my friend. Take care
rap doesn't imitate a music, of which you somehow still think, that it's worth more than popular music like rap. what you don't know is that classic is nearly dead for a reason. there was a time about 130 years ago, when the american slaves invented jazz and blues which led to r'n'b, r'n'r and over blues-rock and heavy metal to all other metal genres. the reason for the decrease of classic is the people realising the soul as the source of music. metal denies it
@ubelstesje Yea I was aware that Slave Music led to Jazz and Blues, and the conjunction of mainly those two is what led to Rock n' Roll, Rock, Heavy Metal, Funk, R&B Soul and so on. I don't hate Rap, in fact I'm a fan of most old rap groups and artists, like Public Enemy, Run DMC of course, NWA, Yound MC, Tupac Shakur, etc. However, notice how I stated that Rap "has become" generalizations, not that it "is" "was" or "will be."
@ubelstesje As i said, i don't hate rap, but just like what happened to GLAM Metal of the late 80's, it has lost its roots, and gone too mainstream, too popular, and thus it has lost it's original fervor and in your face feel that it originally possessed. I personally love Jay-z's Death of Autotune b/c it barrages most rappers out there and how most have become sell outs and products of the music industry. As Jay-z says "Y'all T-Paining too much" meaning that Autotune has become standard in rap
@ubelstesje So what i'm saying is that Popular Rap and Hip-Hop nowadays is nothing but a shadow of it former self in the basis of content, lyrical skills, and message, again same as what happened with GLAM or Hair Metal in the 80's when all they would sing about was girls, cars, drugs, and money (sound familiar?)
@ubelstesje Now, pertaining to your claim that Classical was replaced by music that actually has soul is sort of ridiculous. First, you cannot know for a fact that to create Classical music it didn't require soul, i highly doubt it as all folk music that is created has some sort of heart and soul put into it. Second, Classical just like R&B Soul or the Blues, can fill the inner void with pleasant tunes and originate deep in the soul, whether from a dark or light place.
@ubelstesje Just as there has been a decline in Classical there has been a decline in Blues as well, Jazz as well, and most soul music. What you hear nowadays are products formed by a massive Music Corporations and little music being created for the beauty of it and more of it being created for the love of money. You think Ice Cube, Ice T, or any of the popular rappers are real "gangsters" anymore? Of course not, now they're rolling in the benjamins and could care less about their roots.
@ubelstesje My question, how is rap better than this is directed at the masses as a question which asks, how is it that something as worn out as rap, and is generally accepted as better music than anything else played so much and so much more popular than such beautiful music as this. And i'll tell you why, because MTV and the mass media tells you that it is not very cool or popular of you to listen to stuff like Rhapsody of Fire, because it is not rap, and since it isn't, it is not cool.
@ubelstesje Notice how i didn't ramble about how it takes no skill to rap, instead i appreciate all music and all music has some sort of talent to be had to produce it. However i have a special affinity to Classical, Jazz, Blues, and Heavy Metal, and i'll be lying if i tell you that it doesn't enrage me that rap gets all the popularity in the world, whilst there are other musical genres out there that have a lot to offer. I hate that fact and i admit it, which it doesn't mean that i hate rap.
@ubelstesje I'll end this long response by saying once again that I love all music and do not fall in the childish discussions metal over rap or rap over metal, because in the end its all music, and music is an appeaser of the soul not a conflicting agent. It saddens me that you say that Classical has declined because people have found the soul as a source of music because Classical does require soul, and I'm pretty sure a lot of it.
@ubelstesje To put it bluntly, it is my opinion that "Today's" rap sucks, and i stand firmly and strongly behind that position, trying to argue and insult me and my musical taste will get you nowhere (at least with me) because i know that in the end it is all a matter of opinion, mine happens to be that modern rap is a catchy beat that sticks for 30 minutes and then you're over it, whereas i think that tremendous classics like Vivaldi's the Four Seasons are masterpieces that last centuries.
@MrAlstair123 yeah i agree with a lot of your points, rap is in fact a shadow of its own. but through my studies (not privat, i mean university) i have always had the impression that the greatest composers were too concerned about the rules of counterpoint, instead of just playing. wagner for instance just played around on the piano when he found the famous tristan-chord. to me classical music is stil too much mathematics. the reason for that is, that the classical music was born on paper
@ubelstesje Yea i completely understand what you mean about classical being born on paper, but there's something about its sound that stirs something inside me that is overwhelming. You weren't hating around it's all cool, that's why the world is rich with diversity because we all share such different tastes and views, we are all entitled to our own likes. Have a Wonderful Day.
@MrAlstair123 i dont think that you can symbolise all contures of sound on paper. therefor it is head music. the combination of blues rooted metal and classical music just sounds weird to me. i just dont feel it. i don't think that a guitar should be led by counterpoint. apreciate your comments though, i didn't mean to hate around
@ubelstesje well I don't have time to read your whole discussion, but classical music isn't only based on paper. Especially in romantism. I guarantee you that, for example, how chopin is played today was the result of passing information between different generations of teachers. The only thing you respect in a chopin's piece is the notes.
@ubelstesje Anyway, what defines a good classical musician, is how they catch the soul of the song using immutable instruments. In rock, to get the soul of the song you can use 1000+ different guitars and 10000+ different effects. Things like dynamics is usually ignored by rock musicians.
@MrAlstair123 man, stupid people don't even know what's music...and remember what i'm saying Lol. when a raplover's gonna know ur listening to rhapsody of fire he'll search for the band on google, when he'll read ''metal'' he will quickly think about screaming, and noise:)
but anyway rap isnt music, it's just shit, let's forget about it:P .. peace brother
This kind of Metal is Called NeoClassical Metal, and its my favorite kind oif music, You can hear music like this by hearing Band like ``Adagio´´, ``Galneryus´´,``Ark Storm´´, ``Vitalij Kuprij´´, ``Versailles´´, ``Alhambra´´, ``Concerto Moon´´, or guitarrist like Ynwie Malmsteen, Rob Marcello, Gentaro Satomura and Paul Gilbert etc.
