The Very Beginning of Romance in Music
Beethoven is considered one of the greatest composers of all time by many. It was after Beethoven that other composers began to focus and express in their music the intense feelings in their tunes and compositions. Soon after this romantic renaissance came about, others used music and romance and consolidated it together with opera as a way to visualize for their audience the message and connection between the two. As the concept of romanticism grew stronger, artists, poets, painters and many others also began to use music as the background to stage their work.
Romance in the Hollywood Screens
As the years went on and technology gave us movies with sounds, a whole new era exploded which focused on romance on the screen with music used to drive forth the message of love in countless movies. It is hard to imagine watching a romantic movie (or any other for that matter) without music in the background to assist in selling the story-line. It wasn’t long before many musicals were made for both the big screen and Broadway shows where romanticism was the backdrop within the plots.
Latinos or Hispanics have been using music as a way to send their message to their love interest for decades. Many movies depicting a Mexican “Mariachi’ singing romantic songs as they serenaded someone by a window became very popular in the early 1930’s. A ‘Mariachi’ consisted of a group of musicians who would accompany the person who was in love with someone. As the Mariachi played on, the person accompanying them would often sing a song expressing his or her love. In most cases the person being serenaded would open a window and listen as he or she was entertained by the sounds of a love song, the Mariachi and the love interest.
