Recordings/Video Clips.
This video clip plays schubert's lieder 'der erlking' whilst a dramatic representation of the story is seen. this video inspired me to appreciate schubert's effective use of word painting, Which i aimed to translate in my own composition.
This performance of Schubert's 'an die musik' inspired me greatly. The passion seen by the musicians which translates into their instruments is incredible and is only observed through either live performances or video. A passionate introduction by the pianist sets the scene perfectly.
This dramatic representation of Schubert's 'nacht und traume' displays an english translation of the lyrics with a montage of background images that illustrate the story. This video certainly inspired me to set the scene of my story as clearly as this video does.
