Modernism in Music: And yet what is Modernism? It is undefined.

The relationship between Literature and Music has been one of the oldest and brilliant collaborations that occur between these disciplines.


Poetry was born together with the music and dance music was intended, originally had a liturgical and sacred.
Music and songs were used to reflect the different moral values and how people have to live acorrding this period.When the man felt the need to express and voice their feelings, used body movements accompanied by sounds that were progressively enriched with rhythm, melody and words finally.There is a strong tradition of oral literature, stories, histories and legends that have been passed from generation to generation through time.The earliest recorded simulate the pace and style of oral literature and song groups, before the stories were "singing", making use of elements of this type of literature such as repetition, alliteration, puns and, of course, rhyme.

In these cases, the voice is the main tool, the means by which the word evokes images, places and characters, imaginary or real. In storytelling, the word comes to life, reveals different feelings and experiences.This is how a simple story that happens have a  literary effect, to be considered as literature.Now at days,and just like the movies or television, music is another of the arts in recent years has turned its attention to literature to provide updates, including adaptations of literary translations. That is why the film prefers to narrate, tell stories and in prose, music focuses on esthetics, metaphor and short poetry.



A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.(Leopold Stokowski).


Does art reflect life? In movies, yes. Because more than any other art form, films have been a mirror held up to society's porous face.
