The Three Little Guardian Angels novel Chapter 1035

Chapter 1035

“However, these music genres emerged only around the 19th to 20th century. We’ve mastered these genres, and that’s something to be proud of, but what are we going to tell the public when classical music is being put forward?” Ryleigh chuckled. “Classical music has been primarily a written tradition since at least the 9th century, spawning a sophisticated notational system ever since. The earliest extant music manuscripts are said to date from the Carolingian Empire that flourished during that era. The Fradianites popularized such symphonies in the 12th century. They stood the test of time during the Renaissance period that took place from the 14th to 17th century and evolved throughout the whole history of humanity.

“It’s famous for its high emotional penetration and its pompous, majestic harmonies that give a symphony its dynamics. You’ll run into a gentle caress among waves of rigidity and sometimes a harsh punch in the face among the soft embrace of the symphony. So, you can argue that a soloist can do that too. But tell me now, can a soloist compare him or herself to the might of an orchestra?”

One of the solo instruments department students froze instantly and shook his head anxiously.

Ryleigh laughed out loud. “So, there you have it. Classical music is almost 1,000 years older than modern music, so why should the music that we dedicate our lives to be looked down upon?”

Ryleigh then jumped off the stage and walked toward the two instructors.” Subjectively speaking, the reason modern music, the genres that you people study in the academy, has a better development when compared to classical music is that it’s more pleasing according to the modern aesthetic. Thus, the truth is that your aesthetics are cultivated under the nurture of modern music, so it’s only natural for you to think that classical music that we play in the orchestra department is not your cup of tea.”

After a pause, Ryleigh poked her finger against the shoulder of one of the female instructors. “I won’t force every single one of you to appreciate what we do in the orchestra department, but I also won’t allow you people to belittle us!”

The female instructor swayed slightly as her expression turned agitated and her complexion paled. Even those students standing around the instructors were dumbfounded, while the students of the orchestra department applauded. It was only then that the applause pulled the female instructor back to her senses, and she dodged Ryleigh’s finger. “What’s the use of you telling us this? Do you have the ability to get the academy to accept it? The academy has always only focused on developing our department, so, Ms. Ryleigh Hill do you think you can change it with just a few words?”

 
 

The female instructor stared at Ryleigh’s sulky face and sneered. “Now tell me, since when has our department lost the opportunity to perform during all the important occasions? We’re not the only ones who think the orchestra is lacking in the aesthetic department, Ryleigh Hill,” Ryleigh was about to say something when Louis appeared in the corridor. “The highest achievement in music is the tolerance and respect one shows for other genres of music. If you can’t even show basic respect toward other music genres, then don’t humiliate modern music and other soloists in front of others.”

The female instructor’s expression looked embarrassed, and the arrogance that she had been emitting since the beginning of the debate was suppressed instantly because of Louis’ appearance.
