0 1 Schubert's ode to the virgin Mary
Ode to Our Lady was originally a Roman Catholic prayer, which means "to pay tribute and praise to Maria". After the Renaissance, Ode to Notre Dame was more related to secular human feelings than to religion. Schubert's Ode to Notre Dame is based on the English poet Walter Scott's narrative poem "Song of Ellen", which expresses the innocent feelings of the young girl Ellen asking the Notre Dame to forgive her father's crime.
02 Greg's wedding in Trollhagen
Trollhaugen is the village where Norwegian composer Grieg lived in his later years. Here he created many sketches, fresh and simple, just like a small rural landscape painting. The wedding day is one of them, depicting the farmer's wedding scene, which is both vivid and simple.
Dvorak's requiem.
Dvorak has never written a completely ordinary piece of music. His Requiem is full of beautiful melody, transparent harmony, heavy and sad atmosphere in Victorian England, sincere and pious, touching the heartstrings. This song was not written to commemorate a dead person, but a concert work written for the English Music Festival in Birmingham, England, so it is not a ceremony music strictly.
