Blackout always gets neglected 😢

found this by typing "that Lin Manuel Miranda thing"

Madrigal

Also in Hamilton dear theadosa was supposed to overlap,but didn't make it to the final cut.

These three are the definition of clusterfuck

hes such a lyrical genious and i absolutely adore him

The overlapping in "We don't talk about Bruno" makes even bigger sense when you notice, that every character sings their own part when the vision is still in pieces and when it's put together by Mirabel, they all start to sing "we don't talk about Bruno" in one voice

He has a receta for music

it's like his signature

what about where you are from moana!

YO HERCULES WA THERE

I loooove that he does this. Nonstop is my favorite Hamilton song

I'm mad that Blackout, The Schuyler Sisters, Take a Break, Finale and The Money didn't appear in the video (sorry for my bad english)

This is a musical theatre staple but Lin definitely goes hard

It’s a finaletto

it never gets old

In other words: The sing along nightmare

It's iconic, but not unique to just Miranda, and very common in musicals and musical theatre.

I.mean, this isnt really something new.. je just does it alot

After watching Encanto and listening to that song in full it's so much more impressive because it's like 5 verses that are completey different rhythm-wise but put together they clash so awesomely...

You know...this is not Lin-Manuel Miranda's thing. This is a pretty common thing in musical theater and opera and classical music. Sondheim is one of the one's who did it best but it happens in Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods...

Most musicals do this, I'm sure he drew inspiration. That song in Hamilton has always reminded me of One Day More in Les Mis when they overlap characters' songs/themes.

It’s counterpoint. Typical compositional technique for hundreds of years. It’s great, but not special to him.

Isn't that technique used in pretty much every musical though? It's not just Lin-Manuel. An example from Sunset B - ua-cam.com/video/t0CEXCpwgts/v-deo.html at around 6 mins in.

Lin Manuel Miranda is the Music Midas of the century, anything he touches, turns to gold.

I don't really get what you mean by "Iconic Overlapping Technique". These are partner songs like you leanr in elementary school, just more intricate.

I feel like the people who think this is an an "Iconic LMM" thing must not watch a lot of musical theatre.

This technique is so old, it’s not his at all.

They do that at the midpoint of every musical, no?

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the “we don’t talk about Bruno” hype?

Dislike cuz the thumbnail was misleading af

This overlapping technique is a standard practice in opera, and consequentially musical theatre. The unique gift LM Miranda brings is merging historic classical techniques with modern culturally relevant rhythmic and instrumental patterns.

Except it's not his. It's been done before him. Les Mis' One Day More was before him. Boublil and Schönberg are responsible for that. It was done in other places, too. Stop allowing him credit for the technique when he just took it from others. He may be successful with it but it's not HIS technique!

Overlapping vocals is just a musicals thing, not a lin Manuel thing, right?

I call it, The manuelapping techniqe

This is pretty common at the end of an act for most musicals. A great example is Tonight (Quintet) from West Side Story.

Okay no. Overlapping is not a Lin-Manuel thing. That is a technique used in all Musical Theatre. Take Les Mis, West Side Story, all the old classic musicals. They all have overlapping motifs, sounds, voices, musical changes and instrumentals. Lin-Manuel's "iconic" technique is his amalgamation of hip-hop and RnB into traditional musical theatre genres as well as his use of fast-paced lyrics, which are present in every single one of his projects.

And it’s the best part of each musical as well

It’s a Shakespearean technique not often used because the human mind can only process 1 sometimes 2 almost never 3+ voices at once. He’s done something coming from stage performances (which thanks to sound design tech can now be translated to the screen)concerning distance as a way of Having those voices sway in and out of focus. It’s very impressive.

Also, The end of Friday Night, Jackson (Bring It On) But I can’t think of one from Moana

Iconic? Tell me you don't know anything about polyphony in musical theatre without telling me you don't know anything about polyphony in musical theatre. Composers have been doing it for decades, and many have done it as good or better than Lin Manuel. Source: die hard LMM fan and die hard musical theatre fan.

This is a relatively common trope in musicals. It's always so cool

To be fair Miranda didn't invent this technique in music hall (for example it is very profusely used in les Misérables music hall etc...). But it surely loves to use this. The overlapping in We don't talk about Bruno is insanely satisfying.

It's a classic musical technique going back generations. Miss Saigon and Les Miserables use is extensively.

This is a common technique in broadway musicals (probably more common now more than ever). They take each characters theme (the song they sang earlier in the show) and overlap them in the last song of act 1 to create a chaotic and dramatic sense of conflict, pressure, suspension, etc.

Not the first person to do this? Les miserable did it years ago but sure let's pretend it's new

are we thinking this is unique to Lin? Like I mean he's great at it... but this is a staple in broadway. find me a broadway show that doesn't do this

Can someone analyze how he does this?

You forgot about therapy

Non-stop is probably his best work when it comes to this technique.
