They don't, except for when they do Edit: So I want to clarify what I said about Bach not writing the Toccata and Fugue in d minor. There's been a lot of discussion on the subject, and from everything I've gathered the answer is that this piece is one of the more anomalous in Bach's repertoire which, along with the lack of an original score written in Bach's hand, makes his authorship of the piece seem somewhat less that certain by a handful of Bach scholars. However, until there is more substantive evidence, the convention is to attribute this piece to Bach. So "Bach didn't write the toccata and fugue in d minor" may have been a little too strong here, maybe even misleading, and I just wanted to take a minute to completely clarify that point. The quote from Jean-Claude Zehnder is "The matter still remains open, despite the scholarly discourse that began in 1981. Until proof of the contrary, BWV 565 should be considered as a work by Johann Sebastian Bach." oops. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toccata_and_Fugue_in_D_minor,_BWV_565#Authenticity_research_and_reconstructions Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sideways440 Sources: A fantastic source on trying to decipher how much Bach actually appeared in the silent film cannon, as well as some scoring conventions of the time: Status, Standards, and Stereotypes: J.S.

Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sideways440 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 Sources: I'd like to give extra credit to Daniel Levitin in his book "This is your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession" for pointing me in the right direction. Especially this passage from page 231-2: "As the disease [Alzheimer's] progresses, memory loss becomes more profound. Yet many of these old-timers can still remember how to sing the songs they heard when they were fourteen. Why fourteen? Part of the reason we remembers songs from our teenage years is because those years were times of self-discovery, and as a consequence, they were emotionally charged; in general, we tend to remember things that have an emotional component because our amygdala and neurotransmitters act in concert to "tag" the memories as something important. Part of the reason also has to do with neural maturation and pruning; it is around fourteen that the wiring of our musical brains is approaching adultlike levels of completion."

You're never going to hear these the same way again.

Original upload date: June 2, 2017 It's not the size that counts, but how you use it. When I first went out to try and find a definition for "leitmotif" I stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry for "leitmotif" and found a reference to Erich Wolfgang Korngold and his score to "The Adventures of Robin Hood." And when I looked up the leitmotifs to the adventures of robin hood, I stumbled across this blog post by Mark Richards: http://www.filmmusicnotes.com/thematic-transformation-in-korngolds-robin-hood/ After reading the post, I was so enthralled by the potential for a film score not only have developed leitmotifs, but to actually have leitmotifs that transformed, that I went out and immediately bought the film. And since watching and listening to it a dozen or so times, it might just be my favorite film score of all time. So a sincere thank you to Mr. Richards and whoever edited the Wikipedia entry for "Leitmotif" for introducing me to The Adventures of Robin Hood! Also, if you just so happen to be interested in more of the details in this film (like myself) there's a whole book about it here! https://books.google.com/books?id=ItrilA7I6SkC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false And if you're interested in a more detailed breakdown of Shovel Knight's soundtrack, then I'd strongly suggest checking out 8-bit's video on it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGlJ5wK-rDQ EDIT: Sorry for the typo, here is the YouTube channel where I find all of the Wagner Leitmotif examples: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAqWi_YT0VEkZ41ojy4RAdA/ Also, it looks like I missed the cave level in Super Mario World as well.

Original Upload Date: April 23, 2017 I probably looked way to hard into this, but I was really excited when I first saw "We Know The Way" in the movie theater. And I have to say, I'm genuinely excited to see what Disney has in store for their next showstopper. Also, if you're interested in a more detailed explanation as to why song translations suck, then you should check out PlayTheMind's video called "Why Song Translations Usually Suck"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGne-ZUZCg0 And honestly, looking back at this video, I really regret not giving him a shoutout at the very least. I made this video back when I was tiny and I never thought I'd go anywhere on YouTube, so when I saw bigger channels talking about concepts I was familiar with, I never thought that one day our videos might have any kind of overlap. And in a way, even though I specifically remember my professor telling me to "not bother with something that isn't in English or that you'll have to translate because of these problems," I look back on this video and feel bad that I didn't include PlayTheMind's video in at least some capacity. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Sideways440 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 NOTE: So it looks like I didn't convey what I meant with the "Deilig er Jorden/Fairest Lord Jesus" very well. "Deilig er Jorden" does not directly translate to "Fairest Lord Jesus." BUT, if you look these two hymns up you'll find that they are the same piece of music. This is a perfect example of how you have to change the meaning of a text when translating it into another language if you want to maintain the integrity of the piece in question. Sorry for all of the confusion!

Original Upload Date: April 10, 2017 Ok, so a couple of things: 1. I genuinely had no idea that there was a difference between "famous" and "infamous." I'm stupid. 2. So this video was a growing point for me. In looking up information about Rogue One and Giacchino's quest for Williams-esque greatness, I happened upon the Star Wars Oxygen podcast episode about Rogue One: http://www.rebelforceradio.com/shows/2016/12/21/star-wars-oxygen-vol-38-rogue-one-part-1 Naturally, the information in this podcast pointed me toward all of the clips that you see in this video. And when I originally made this video, I initially just had a bunch of clips of them talking, but it started feeling like I was just re-editing their podcast, and in the end, I just used my own voice and kept telling myself the old internet adage "no one owns the facts." At the time I hadn't figured out how to properly credit them in the video, and if you've noticed, I've become a lot more aggressive about properly citing my sources in my videos since them. And looking back on it, I see this as one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made on the internet. I wish I could go back and properly credit them in the video, but the description box will have to do. So, a sincere thank you to the guys at the Star Wars Oxygen podcast, who involuntarily helped me make this video, and please please please, go and send them some love, they deserve it more than me. Credit for the Dies Irae find, and the flute/messenger leitmotif, go to: http://www.rebelforceradio.com/shows/2016/12/21/star-wars-oxygen-vol-38-rogue-one-part-1 I totally forgot to give them a credit in the video (my bad!) and I feel absolutely awful about it, go check out their podcast! And apparently I don't know the difference between infamous and famous. I'm really sucking at this guys, sorry! Either way, this film was so much fun to crack open. I'm positive I missed a whole bunch of stuff, so if you know of any other musical easter eggs in Rogue One, please let me know ASAP! https://www.patreon.com/Sideways440 https://twitter.com/Sideways440 https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440

For as much bitching as I do in this video, I really wanna remind everyone that I love, and have loved, all of the music in Warcraft so far.

This is the recording that I used in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XP5RP6OEJI And here's a really cool animation of the same piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf0 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 Before you guys get into a huge argument about this, understand that I'm talking about how this piece changed my perspective on how music can be constructed, not whether or not Schubert wanted to use that motif as a blueprint for how the piece was going to modulate, or how that motif might represent the actual Erlkönig character at all (which I'm now pretty sure I might have heard that idea from a grad student while I was at school...). Either way, this piece had a pretty profound effect on me, and I just wanted to share that.

Let's finally clear up some terminology issues floating around on the internet. Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sideways440 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sideways440 Disclaimer: If some parts of this video look familiar to a few of you, that's because they were elements of a previous video that I took down. I'm striving to do my very best in explaining everything in these videos, but in the few cases where I either don't explain myself well enough, am vague, or in some cases don't back up my claims with enough sources, I will remake the video so that it will make more sense. If I happened to have taken down your favorite video, sit tight, chances are I'm in the middle of remaking it. Thank you for your patience. I'm still new at this!

Original Upload Date: August 26, 2016 So this video was clearly inspired by Now You See It's "Why Jump Scares Suck" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXEF1lcW-oQ When I first started this channel I never thought that it would get to the size that it did, let alone have this video almost big as big as Now You See It's. The whole idea was that I was trying to emphasize the importance of the music in these kinds of tense situations (like demonstrating how you can created a tense situation with music alone), which was something I didn't see anyone else talking about. I seriously never thought it would get this big, let alone ever even have the potential of stepping on his toes. So even though he's an enormous channel, I think it still really needs to be said, go send him some love, and some extra views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXEF1lcW-oQ Also, the whole idea of a high sound and low sound at the same time with empty space in between them actually comes from my Composition Professor from college, so big shout outs to him! (I'm not sure if he wants to be credited by name or not soo...) With Halloween and the scary movie season coming up, I figured it'd be worth demonstrating how you can use music to really add to a tense scene.

tl;dr Why you don't really want to rely on pop music for the bulk of your film. And does anyone else feel that if Harley Quinn is going to be taken seriously as a solo character that they'll have to reinvent her?

NOTE: There's one thing I want to clarify about this video. Although I mention that Gregorian Chant is filled with the perfect intervals that you would need to create these Tartini tones, the more accurate term would be Organum. Organum is a Gregorian Chant (plainchant) melody with at least one voice added to create a harmony. Gregorian Chant doesn't necessarily have more than one voice, and typically the second voice in the an Organum would be improvised off of the plainchant melody's manuscript, typically at the perfect intervals that you would need to create said Tartini tones. I honestly just wasn't expecting to have such in-depth questions from my viewers when I first made this video, and didn't want to clutter the video with definitions. Thank you all! Link to that choir singing combination tones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCdQVqQXkzc Thanks for all of your kind comments, I really appreciate them.
