The Music Soap Series: connecting soap and music.

As part of the Music Soap Series, I was looking for something that echoed a lush, vibrant and romantic experience. The fragrance oil of this soap is rosehip jasmine, that shows the jasmine to have a full-bodied lusciousness that warms with the lighter rosehip to create and incredible aroma that immediately envelopes you.

If you've been following along, this is the next soap in the series. Even though there is one more period, Contemporary, after the Romantic period, I felt I should end our music series here. There may be a Contemporary soap series in the future. But back to the Romantic (1820-1900). Take everything you've learned so far and pretty much chuck it out the window! Actually don't - we need all of the development from monophony and modes, to intricate harmonies, to instrumentation, to keys, to structure and form, and all of the various and sundry components of music to bring us to this point where composers just let go of the rules and structure, and start writing music for drama and expression. They try new combinations of instruments, push the limits on Harmon, and on developing the sheer ability to master and perform at a virtuosic level. Most importantly, the Romantic period saw a flourishing of national music schools, and brought music fully to the public for enjoyment. No longer an elitist art form, music was now to be shared and enjoyed by all, and was a celebration of sound, drama, emotion and expression.
