So I was watching a video about overlapping melodies in musicals and remembering how BRILLIANT Quartet at the Ballet from Broadway Anastasia is.
Not only is it a very nicely done example of grand polyphonic pieces in musicals where the characters are singing separate melodies that come from earlier in the show (think tonight quintet or one day more), they’re singing just the tunes of those earlier themes, with unique lyrics. In addition, the music ALSO flawlessly works in the theme from Swan Lake, AND the action happening on the stage of the ballet reflects the characters’ conflicts (which this post talks about in detail)
Anyways it’s just a really cool song and shout out to Stephen flaherty for some great composition.
Here’s the video if you want to check it out:

Wow, I am still reeling from seeing this event. One of the most profound dance-music-theatre experiences I have ever had.
If Elle Sofa Sara comes to a town near you, you should RUN to see and hear them.
From the Show notes:
“Elle Sofe is the voice of the Sami people, expressing their efforts to battle injustice and to retain and celebrate their culture, mirroring the experience of many of the world's indigenous peoples, including here in Canada. We join the procession of the seven women in the show, marching in unity as they invite us into an evening of polyphonic Yoiking and powerful movement.”
The clips on Youtube do not do this Sami choreographer and the troop justice. Nonetheless, I will post to get the word out there.
Different (better) costumes inside and out than shown in the clips below. The performance started outside in -15 degree weather, before following them inside to the theatre and it ended with the seven dancers leaving the theatre.
I want to run away and join them!

cherishing the small things in life.
IF I GET MY SCHOOL WORK DONE EARLY I CAN SPEND THE NEXT FIVE HOURS PLAYING TOCCATA AND FUGUE IN D MINOR!!!!
#me on my way to walk down the mountain to go steal a piano practice room from a music major#get the fuck out of my way I'm a political science major trying to escape the political science building#I love not being in the school of music (lies)(I want to use the big piano room)#I also love being the only pianist in the marching band who isn't in the school of music#it's literally so goofy#they're talking about things I have never heard of in my life and I'm out here going “Baroque music makes my ears feel nice”#anyways who wants to hear about the polyphonic nature of most Baroque music and how early classical takes some of the polyphonic elements a
