    Throughout the past few decades, our music taste, along with our society, has developed into an expressive community. People of all ages have been using music to express themselves for thousands of years. The 1920s, as well as 2000s are prominently known for their groundbreaking new sound. The two were ferociously popular in their time, but how can two genres, each with a different sound, be so popular?

    Frankenstein Romanticism

    The nineteenth century was a period of time between 1828-1880 in it’s narrowest and 1789-1914 in its broadest sense. During this changing time a new expressionistic style, Romanticism, began to emerge that reflected a more humanistic approach to music dwelling on emotions and feelings rather than mirroring the formalization of the world. Romanticism is seen, in opposition to Classicism, as a phenomenon that re-occurs throughout artistic and intellectual history. Romanticism encouraged the worth of individual thought and expression, this new freedom eventually introduced the form of program music that replaced the “Sonata Form” that was previously popular.(H. Hitchcock, 1988 pg 3) Romanticism influenced not only music but art and literature during its popularity (N.E Mourer 1998, pg 45), Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a perfect example. Shelley’s protagonist Victor Frankenstein is a reflection of a ‘romantic’ through his belief that personal and collaborative imagination will lead to a deeper understanding of the world and a better version of human beings (N. Smith 2001, para 3). Romanticism started to become recognizable in art works such as Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ which isn’t a literal representation but a…

    Derived from the Portuguese barroco, or “oddly shaped pearl,” the term “baroque” has been widely used since the nineteenth century to describe the period in Western European art music from about 1600 to 1750. Comparing some of music history’s greatest masterpieces to a misshapen pearl might seem strange to us today, but to the nineteenth century critics who applied the term, the music of Bach and Handel’s era sounded overly ornamented and exaggerated (Hosler, 27).…
