Musical knowledge is fun!
Last week I attended a movie - new release. I will keep
the name of it secret as there are some plot twists that you will want to
discover for yourself if you see it.
In one scene, one of the male leads is in an elevator. The
plot has indicated that he may be questioning some of the decisions he has made
and that he might be uncomfortable with the situation he is in.
In the background is the Allegri Miserere which our boys
sang a few Decembers ago. It was one of their favorite pieces, featuring
a glorious high “C” in a repeating refrain.
I recognized the music (as would the boys) and knew that the
director was telling us something about the mind of the protagonist. He
was actually really upset and in a difficult situation.
Isn't it fun to be an insider? Our understanding of the
world is enriched because we know about music and we pay attention to it!
