Why is baroque music driven?

We studied it in music and that was how the composers wrote it. Driving out insistent rhythms constantly.

Some years ago the Vietnam-Vets held a gathering in my hometown's town-square. Sombre faces, medals...
and hundreds of watts of sixties (vietnam era) Rock&Roll music. "Born to be wild..." and other classics.

At the time I was busking nearby inside a railway tunnel
and my unamplified voice and accoustic guitar were drowned out by the thumping beat of the huge speakers outside.
Time for a break and enjoy listening for a while instead
I thought - and as I put my guitar up against the wall, a
lone commuter walked passed and hissing the f-word exlaimed: "...now they're even playing Nazi music!"
Poor guy just couldn't string it together...

Vietnam War - Wagner - Apocalypse Now - The Ride Of The Valkyries.

well today in music we listened to atonal expressionism by Schoenberg and believe me, he makes Stravinsky look like the flaming nicest music of the century.

Hey fozzer,

Interesting you said that. What gets me is they tried to compare Schoenberg, Webern and Berg (what the call the second Vienese School) with Mozart, Hayden and Beethoven (the first Vienese School) and i was like, you cant compare this music that is just wrong to the likes of Mozart and others.

The one thing about the atonal expressionism is the voice doesnt have to hit the note exactly, only approxiamtely and every note is played by a different instrument, and well tonality - what is that? Its just crap really.

Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 from Liszt, that piece sounds like a cazy mess.(pronounced "List" if I'm not mistaken).

Ride of the Valkyries from Wagner was pretty neat with the movie. If you see the Showcopters in an air show, their intro music is Ride of the Valkyries, but Showcopters was not worth my time. I guess you cant do stunts with helecopters.

Moonlight Sonata is pretty good too.
