Description
Listen to one (1) composition and explain what you like or admire about the work. Compare it to a modern soundtrack or song that evokes a similar mood. Monteverdi’s Orfeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ll_u870PG8
Explanation & Answer
I admire the emotion in this composition. The depth is amazing. This composition reminds me a song by Shakira called " Sombra de ti". She refers to someone she deeply loves that isn't there anymore and it is referred to as "the shadow". However, the shadow is always there following her even though the person is gone. In Orfeo, he is longing for someone who is dead and can't wait to be rejoiced with her in heaven. Both artists are longing for the one they love and express it through there lyrics.
