Music Connect

http://www.classicalconnect.com/music/790


            I chose Dance of the Goblins by Antonio Bazzini to represent the tone and mood of my book right now. I think it is a great representation of the story because the tempo and all the instruments fit what is going on. The tempo is a little bit faster than most classical music which i like because it reminds me of cat and mouse. It reminds of the cartoons where the evil villian is chasing around the main character and they just go from room to room, much like Scooby Doo. This is kind of happening to Mr. Fogg. He is being chased by detectives around the world and they have to travel quite fastly to avoid the detectives.
           Another reason I like it is because it is a violin piece. I was expecting for almost all classical music to go with the book because the book takes place in old England when classical music was still kinda popular. But the violin represents the book a lot better that just regular classical music. I think that the violin is a good example of the travel part, which is a major part of the book. Whenever I hear the violin I think of old western times and there travel back then. Mr. Fogg's travel is much like that of the pioneers so that's why there is a good connection. Overall I think this song was possibly the best choice for my book.
