I have to learn art, drama, dance, and music history. It sucks ass

[DuxCorvan]

Sorry for being rude. The sad thing is, that Music history should not be considered an "obscure" matter at all; not more than painting, sculpture, literature or any other major art. If it was not covered in your school, then your school is in fault for having a lousy program of contents if it considered fit to study Michaelangelo or Dante, but left Palestrina out. Music is not a minor art, and people should not be so ready to admit ignorance about it, without searching a remedy.

Not at all, I LOVE books. I own more than anyone I know. Especially on classical literature and mythologies. Nothing on music though. I just listen to it, I don't read about it. Picasso and Da Vinci were covered in my school, differences between baroque and medieval music were not. You're quite arrogant to call the lack of obscure knowledge stupidity. You must not get along with very many people.

[DuxCorvan]

Music history is not quantum mechanics. Music history at a basic level should be elementary knowledge for any who has attended school; if you can discern between Picasso and Da Vinci, then you should be able to discern between baroque and medieval music, unless you've never heard any of both, which would make YOUR life quite sadder and more limited than mine. Yep, ignorance to the level of stupidity blows my mind, I guess opening a book must blow yours.

[jrosekonungrinn]

Music history is an extremely limited area of study, most people don't follow it. If this astonishes you, then most of the world must blow your mind. I pity your sad limited life.

[DuxCorvan]

The music is a "Hornpipe" baroque dance, and was part of a number of pieces composed by famous baroque English composer Henry Purcell for Aphra Behn's theatrical play "Abdelazer, or The Moor's Revenge", when it was revived in 1695. "Hole in the Wall" is NOT the original title, nor has it anything medieval at all. I'm quite astonished of the middle citizen's ignorance about music and its history.

I was always under the interpretation that this dance was Renaissance. :/ But even so, I do this dance every year, and I love it!
