I Discovered The Cantata

And you reach a point, and I've reached that point, maybe that's why I'm really into it, is when you reach that point where you want to think about more than just what am I just, even if I'm creating, why am I creating it? Or what's the imprint?

And where's humanity going? Because these questions we always ask, that's something we always ask. And it does help us create more, because the more you ask, you have a sustained investigation going on. But again, I'm going to go down a rabbit hole.

So before I go down a rabbit hole, and Alice kicks me out from that, because it's already her place. So, Blu, the mic is yours. Well, thank you, everybody.

And I actually quite enjoyed the conversation we just had. And, yes, so in the last week or so, I've been, well, I've always been fascinated with really finding when music and poetry have been the most similar. And when you go back into time, then, you know, we don't really know much of anything before the 1400s, because the printing press wasn't there yet.

So therefore, you know, we, our kind of our intelligence kind of stops there, because everything before the 1400s is, you know, it's kind of lost, lost to us, because there wasn't enough copies of it to survive. And, you know, the book, some of them just simply didn't survive. And the same thing applies to music, you know, if you want to know about music before the 1400s, you know, you're at a dead end.

And so in that investigation, I discovered the cantata. And the cantata is basically a change in music that occurred. So the cantata is now, it's a style of music that's very similar to class music.

But now, for the first time, it is written in movements, kind of like a scene. And it is performed by only one or two people, instead of four to six. So that was the usual thing.
