Similar to society during the Middle Ages‚ music during this time was somewhat primitive. Being used for only one purpose predominantly‚ it expressed sacred worship to a deity‚ and did not often convey any personal passions‚ particularly at the beginning. In the later stages of the time period‚ influences from France started music being composed around “courtly love”(“Middle Ages Music”). However‚ the average commoner still did not listen to music on a daily basis‚ and few were involved in the making

Levinson defines a musical work as a dual structure‚ sound and means of performance (S/PM)‚ as "indicated" by a person at some time. An "indicating" takes the form of the creation of a score by a composer. He writes that certain attributes of musical works are dependent on more than the sound structure they contain‚ this is what makes musical works different from each other. Musical works are not only sound structures but rather they are an integration of sound structures and performance. Levinson

Secondly‚ the strife theme is very powerful in this music as it shows the tension between the two families and its impact on Romeo and Juliet. Tchaikovsky presents the theme of strife with ‘agitation’ and angry rhythms in woodwind along with racing scales in strings. His choice of dynamics such as crescendo reinforces the tension and solemn mood between the families and as a result‚ the audience can feel the feud escalating due to the growing force of chords and the sudden changes in dynamics. Moreover

Hector Berlioz‚ son of Louis Berlioz and Marie Antoinette‚ born in France at the La Cote- Saint- Andre in December 1803‚ lived a great life to be a well-known French Romantic Composer. Hector did not start studying music till age 12 and with the lack of support of his parents never learned to play the piano.

On 1st September‚ 1725‚ I attended a performance of “The Four Seasons”‚ a concerto by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi at the Pieta. The composer‚ often known locally as the “Red priest” (Heller‚ 1997) for his ostensibly red hair and ordainment‚ wrote the piece in 1723 in Mantua; Italy’s music sure seems to be increasing in its grandeur. However‚ I would doubt the sincerity of Vivaldi’s concertos; ever since Corelli these instrumental pieces are pumped out massively for the aristocracy (Michalik
