Evolution of Music from 1400 BC till the present day

[Rev. Rye]

Fun fact: I once wrote a story that was a fake review of a fake musical called Vase de Noces: The Musical. It's very strange, which makes sense considering that it was based on a notorious avant-garde film most famously known as The Pig Fucking Movie. (Information, with no images outside of the [G-rated FKG-0-rated) German DVD cover art, here.) Since you probably wouldn't want to actually watch it even if it wasn't banned in Australia (which I think is your home turf), much of the bizarre shit I describe is actually PART OF THE ACTUAL FILM. And this includes some interludes where Baroque/Renaissance choral music is playing while we see chickens just standing around doing nothing. In the play, this is represented by two interludes in the middle of each act where the farmer and the pig go off stage and a small chorus sings a small Renaissance piece while stock footage of chickens standing around and doing nothing plays. "Moro Lasso" plays during the second act, after he hangs the children he has with the pig for rejecting humanity and the pig drowns herself in response. And, in the first act, after finally consummating the deed (after a musical number compared to "Contact" from Rent), the chorus plays this Monteverdi piece:



And then, they scatter and the film stops like it was just a flash mob that the people in charge went along with.

For the record, this musical does not actually exist, and I don't expect it to actually come into being.
