Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet fantasy overture with scores Mariinsky (Kirov) Theatre Orchestra, St Petersburg Conductor: Valery Gergiev www.sheetmusicplus.com/compos... - Buy Tchaikovsky sheet music
Bisogna ammettere che la vicenda di Romeo e Giulietta ha generato solo capolavori in ogni campo. Non dimentichiamoci delle musiche di Prokofiev da brivido.
In my teaching days, I used this to teach Programmatic Music to very young students. In addition to the love theme, the loud passages reflect the 2 families fighting and the chorale at the beginning is Friar Laurence's soliloquy.. Then later I'd introduce them to West Side Story, which of course is a modern day version of R&J and we'd explore Bernstein's score, which was heavy on tri-tones.
I have never been convinced by the Friar Lawrence theme idea - the theme comes at too many critical points. I think that it is rather the 'fate' theme and Tchaik borrows from the idiom of Russian Orthodox chant to embody the idea of the absolute and ineluctable That doesn't mean I'm right, of course, but it is an approach that makes the piece 'work' better for me!.
Basically, I call this "Romeo and Juliet" thing by Tchaikovsky "a programmatic opera without words." I feel nearly everything in the story - the first love between Romeo and Juliet, the darkness of Verona, Italy, the pugnacious civil brawls, maybe even Tybalt's revenge when he kills Mercutio and Romeo killing off Tybalt. Then I experience the star-crossed lovers fate being sealed, the continued house rivalries, and I am guessing just before the timpani roll on B in the final measures, Juliet stabs herself with the dagger after finding out Romeo killed himself with the venomous potion, and Juliet dies in his arms.....The last chord by Tschaikovsky is a B major chord, not a B minor chord, depicting that these killed-off star-crossed lovers have gone to Paradise.
Every time I hear the bass drum blows in the violent musical sections of the fantasy overture, all of those booming hits remind me of the cannon blasts from Tschaikovsky's "1812 Overture."

@@forpoonlainmus8877 is he stopping your from paying your bills? is he accepting bad behavior? is he hurting anyone? if he's not, then theres no need to hate.
6:56 is better as a primary theme statement lol, 5:52 is just a transition, to be more exact the 2nd one. Thats assuming ur around that area. 14:32 is the second theme but i guess its better than the first in terms of how cool it is lol
Their heartbeat pulse is ending (@18:00) by 18:23 they're dead. What follows is the immortal love vibration in eluding God's wrath expressed for the first time concerning 2 bratty kids.
0:05 서주 5:53 반목의 주제 8:02 사랑의 주제 셰익스피어 문학작품을 바탕으로 차이콥스키가 작곡한 관현악곡이다. 종교적인 장중한 서주 선율은 수돗 로렌스를 나타내며, 이어서 몬터규와 캐풀렛 두 가문의 격투 장면인 반목의 주제 선율이 나온다. 격투의 소란이 진정된 후 나오는 잉글리시 호른과 비올라의 우아한 선율이 ‘로미오와 줄리엣’의 사랑의 주제 선율이다. 반목과 사랑의 주제 선율이 서로 얽혀 비극적인 파국을 향하여 전개된다.
I remember in the 70's this being one of the brief song shorts among others on a commercial displayed by Time Life publshimg for a 2 album collector's set. The middle slow section to be exact

Lillie Bridgers - I heard the famous Love Theme for the first time in Hanna-Barbera's Smurfs, no joke(y) lol. My mind was of course blown when I learned about the whole thing. The Smurfs contain lots of classical music arrangements: Schubert the Unfinished Symphony, Beethoven's 6th, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, however movement 3 as action theme, and many more. Lots of Tchaikovsky too of course.
