Classical music has most of the times been heard as boring or depressing. But if one takes the time to actually listen deeply and carefully, once might change that set of mind. For instance, from one of the examples from the article: Jessye Norman’s luxurious rendition can easily transport ones mind to fantasy island. It is a beautiful, peaceful, and sensual piece. Even untrained ears might agree on the fact that this piece evokes romance. But the one masterpiece that takes the cake is the performance by Maria Joao Pires. Those rich keyboard sounds could make the perfect background for a romantic dinner. Moreover, most of us just listen to the song but rarely pay attention to the lyrics. Most of the times the melody might not have that sensual touch but the words being expressed might add a whole different meaning to the entire piece. Such is the case of the motet Osculetur me by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. The melody might sound religious but the lyrics are saying something else. The text is base from the Song of Song which were a collection of poems by King Solomon. The text has some sort of rated X content not appropriate for children. But, it is interesting to know how back in the days composers will express their feeling through the music. It is impressive how they manage to get away with this type of music since they were living in a strongly religious culture. Only geniuses would have though of disguising secular music with sacred music. Other piece would dramatize romantic scenes through the performance until the performer was completely naked. Such is the case of the vanned opera by Strauss. As we have seen a few of many examples, classical music can be sexy if not erotic at some point.
