The podcast series of “Hi, Composers” is about a group of students accidentally traveling through time to explore the history of music. With discussions and interviews, the students uncovered the secrets that lay behind the composers and their masterpieces. The format is set as a journey that leads the audiences through various eras of music history and composers that created major influences. In addition, the purpose of the podcast is to enable audiences to know the real stories and lives behind the composers, what it takes for composers to make their dreams come true and illustrate how music affects our culture and society.
The significance of this story is that it allows the audiences to understand the true tales of both famous and unfamiliar composers’ music career, the struggles they encountered, and what they went through to compose their works. This story is different from the others because it provides a complete overview of music history and development within each era. Through the format of our podcast, we offer educational information for new music learners and those that are interested in the common topic. Moreover, our podcast matters for the reasons that music has strongly impacted our society and culture. As the modern generation of music is developing, people often forget the beauty and origin of early music. As Beethoven said, “Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of women.” It is now important for us to learn the stories behind successes and spirits that live in music. The main message of our podcast is about how your passion for music can make a difference in the world and call it an influence to others. You should chase your dream of creating artwork about ideas and feelings you wish to express.
“Music has no fatherland; it’s homeland is the whole universe.” Famous composer Chopin once indicated. Music represents the interactions between sound that lives in us, the emotion, relation and coordination between one and other. Music has already become a part of most people’s lives. However, not all the people know that Baroque, Classical and Romantic music are the basic building blocks for all the different modern genres of songs. Our podcast will enable audiences to have a clear idea and knowledge of what the different period music sounds like and how they affect and influence each other. Furthermore, the podcasts will introduce both popular and unfamiliar composers from different periods and with their pieces. It allows audiences to have a clear understanding of the stories produced by the piece and the meaning behind rhythms and melodies. To make sure all the resources and information in our podcast are correct and reliable, our production team got the information from books which are published by The Royal Conservatory of Music, and also interviewed the experts in music history. We also visited websites such as The Music Theory Academy and Connley Music to research and layer information to ensure high standards of presentations are produced.
We are the right voices to produce this podcast because we are passionate about this topic and have a strong belief in music theory that can bring connections to people and things around us and the ability to express yourself beyond language.
