    We need a music history Waldemar. Baroque music is often heard by contemporary ears as mannered and fussy, or mathematically cold. Not to say it never exhibits those traits, to be sure, but the music like the art and the architecture is shot through with deadly wit and symbolic transgression. It's a language of signs and gestures, and the canvas is absolutely jammed with movement, contrast, color, light... and i think like the domes, in an odd way only just right when you listen from the right spot (mentally).

  • @YellowPsych
    @YellowPsych 2 роки тому +6

    I like this a lot and I’m glad that we have documentaries made by passionate people like this, but I don’t know why he’s so willing to dismiss a lot of what people see in art because personally I think it’s important. For example, he dismisses the observations and critiques of the sculpture 33:13 being some sort of dirty and incorrect remark, but then he asks how you would show that kind of intense experience, pointing to the sculpture saying “that’s how”. I think it’s a testament to the power of Baroque art that the choice in how to convey that sort of experience is precisely the expression of an intense religious ecstasy being orgasmic and explicitly so. The associations here of intense violent pain, intense orgasmic pleasure, and intense divine ecstasy are totally valid and are precisely what makes it so impactful. To me it’s like “yeah duh, of course.”

Not just the symbolism or iconography of the artwork itself, but what was going on around the artist at the time outside of just the Widely Movement-Specific. This doc was fantastic and really shed light on perhaps /why/ I've always been drawn to the Baroque Movement as well as my own decisions I make in complsitions.

    I will never in my life forget the moment -- literally -- that I discovered Baroque architecture. I was wandering around Madrid in the middle of the night, near midnight, and I turned a corner and BOOM: I was suddenly in a square that was entirely of that architectural style -- out of nowhere! Can anyone tell me where I was? I had no idea at the time because I was just wandering around idly but it lit me up like a carnival.

    I remember visiting the church of San Ignacio in Rome just after my conversion and still in college. I remember seeing the ceiling and coming back out of the church and wondering at the huge vault that I had just seen. Only later did I learn that it was an optical illusion, a flat ceiling. I wish we had some commentary on the music, especially the Pachelbel Canon that played in the Ignacio, gloriously appropriate.
