I know quite a few Musicals. Do Opera's count too? they were the first Musicals so to speak :tongue: .



Baroque

Claudio Menteverdi - Orfeo (Orpheus 1607 )



Henry Purcell - Dido and Aeneas (1689) - Dido's Lament



George Frideric Handel - Messiah (1741) - Hallelujah Chorus


(One of my favourites :3 )

The Classical

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- Dies Irae (Requiem for the Dead)



Wolfgang Amadeus Mozard - Le Nozze di Figaro(The Marriage of Figaro) (1786)


(Largo al factotum)

The Romantic

Franz Schubert - Erkonig (The Erlking; 1815)


(This story was thought to be about a man[The Erlkonig] kidnapping a young boy and raping and killing him, but now it's determined as "interpretive music" so however you think of it, it's how it is.)

-I was going to add Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and his "Romeo & Juliet" , but most of his music is without words, so I thought that it wouldn't count. He wrote well known pieces, such as ; Swan Lake, The Nut Cracker suite, Sleeping Beauty and the 1812 Overture(most people can associate this with cartoons and racehorse stadiums). [Fun fact: he was the only well known gay composer, but had a troubled life because of it]-

Giuseppe Verdi- Rigoletto (1851) - La Donna e mobile (Woman is fickle)



Giacomo Puccini - Madame Butterfly



Modern

Mama Mia- Mama Mia :3



Enchanted - That's How You Know



Aladdin - A whole new world



Elton John - Can you feel the love tonight (Lion King)



Jungle Book - Bare Necessities



Aristocats - Everybody wants to be a cat

As you can tell from the last few 'modern' ones, I love disney >.> and there are alot of musicals in their cartoons, very under-appreciated if you ask me :3 .

I friggin LOVE Linda Ronstadt...I especially love her politics but in my opinion she is maybe the single most talented singer of her generation....

...and we went to see her show "Canciones de mi Padre" at the Curran in SF...it was the first show we went to together...we both loved it (me and my lover)...
