MARRY THE CLASSICS

You could have probably watched Darren Aronofsky’s Rendition of Black Swan starring the ever gorgeous Natalie Portman and could have been so much amazed how their feet moves like some boneless majesty while swaying with the tune of the theme Swan Lake. At some point in time, you were bewildered by the soothing impact of the playing background music. Then you realized it’s not just Nina and the other ballerina ladies and lads who brought you goosebumps. So you keep on looking around the entire scene until you spotted the pianist. Suddenly you’ve noted that it’s that hynotic music from Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Swans that gives you the real creeps. This particular song may sound to be quiet paranoing for some though, but it definitely is a fuel for wild starving imaginations. Still, do not bother freaking out because, again, it’s just another simple reminder that the classics are undeniably movers baby. Movers.

           

Music, like any other aspects of life is ever-evolving. And speaking of ever-evolving, this here evolves superbly. Sing a crazy trendy song today and it’s outdated the following weeks. It’s quiet hard to update your iPhones, iPods, iPads, mp3 and mp4 players, and whatever gadgets that plays you good music, just to never feel that O.P. Syndrome or generation gaps.

           

Talking about music style are the various genres. But then once in a while, there are always these particular brand of songs that stay forever in the playlist. These were once branded as elevator music or theatrical backgrounds. The classical musics are like time machines, serenading you back to the early centuries of the past. When grandpa talks about the legendaries like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn and Brahms to name a few, better give way because these dudes just never get older.

Provided or not the basic human necessities, this comfort thing is the one we can’t live without. Trust me.

           

EAR YOGA.

After stressful days from school or work, the classics is your ultimate bestfriend. Regardless of a particular classical genre you wish to play, It’s so refreshing and relaxing it won’t interfere your tired ears destructively. Besides, most classical musics have normal intensity range which is very pleasing to bear. According to Professor Wilson Buffa, human ears’ capacity can only stand 20cps to about 40cps (that is cycle/sec) intensity range for limited hours. Listening to the classics lets you freeze a romantic nostalgia. Forever! Kidding, but that’s how exaggeratedly you can enjoy it.

LIFESTYLE DOCTOR.

When someone speaks about veggies and fruits or even workouts, they’re talking about real health and fitness. However, we’re certainly aware that not every people in the world is a full pledged green-leafy lover. Yet, nobody wanna go sick. Who does? So we’re forced to eat healthy. Fortunately, classical musics are handy if you needed aid with your lifestyle. Apparently, clinical psychologist Franz Wendtner can attest to that. According to his study, “Listening to music for about 25 minutes everyday for at least ten days can help prevent back pain and also make you sleep better.” Such calm and slow harmony can help relieve muscle pain.

ELITE-LIKE YOU.

Yes, it sounds weird to play the classics during your BFF field trips especially when everyone is roaring Katy Perry or Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift, even 1D. You don’t want to be the party-popper or worse, the joke event center. But halt! Try to imagine how powerful you can be when they start shutting off all their playlists once they heard you click ‘play’. Some nerd people actually prove it factful though naughty. Embrace some falsetto then stare at them, chin up. Feel more sophisticated and suave with the orchestra backing you up bigtime.

LESS IS MORE.

Here’s a stereotype of how some young women tend to imagine their ideal romantic partners – a man loaded with a beautiful soul, a handsome face, extra dollars, and is mysterious in type. Speaking of mysteriousness, many ladies prefer a man of few words. That is, someone who’ll win your juicy “Yes!” even almost without saying a thing. Classical musics are men. It’s not so lyrical fanatic but when the instrument do the persuasion, it’ll move mountans and giant boulders.

A+ KID.

The well known Mozart Effect myth has pretty much been critically studied by different researchers for years. Axford pinpointed the special benefit from listening to classical musics (especially of Mozart’s) as it provide spatial-temporal reasoning. That is being able to develop some short-term special skill enhancements on memorization and other related mental tasks. Surprisingly, it could turn out to be your best mate during reviews for terror exams.

FILL THE GAP.

Move –! For most youngsters of the present generation befriending the dub steps, heavy metals, rock n’ rolls and K-Pops, hearing their dads play the classics is, voila!, a total alien. But don’t get too culture shocked. Best to do is sip a warm cup of tea and cuddle under your thick blanket during a rainy day. Sit back with the elders (pardon me) while being carried away with the rhythm. It’s an instant bonding privilege, too. You’ll also fill the generation gap in no time.

MESSAGE CONVEYED.

Again, it doesn’t say a word or two. But the classics communicates to the soul effortlessly because it speaks genuine quality. It brings forth the depth of heights with authenticity. It could be intellectually challenging, yes, we’ve established that but it guides you to the path on where your musical comprehension is intended to go. Bear in mind that "a symphony is a story". It knows moods, possibilities and urges.

  
See? Told you.
