2025/11/03

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am excited again to continue our chat about 19th century opera, with today’s focus being on the works of Richard Wagner. We will learn that Wagner wasn’t just a composer; he was a dramatist, philosopher, and provocateur whose ideas reshaped what opera could be. His music is monumental and his legacy is deeply complicated.

19th Century Opera: an overview

2025/10/29

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Opera became more than entertainment during this time; it became a mirror of political upheaval, national identity, and human passion. From the grandeur of Italian bel canto to the sweeping psychological landscapes of Wagner, 19th-century opera redefined what it meant to tell stories through music.Buy me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/betweenthebarlinesOperas mentioned in this episode:Rossini -The Barber of SevilleBellini -

2025/10/22

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! We have somewhat of a baseline episode today; what I mean by that is we are going to touch on a few composers and what they did for orchestral and chamber music in the 19th century.

Romantic Choral Music

2025/10/20

Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! I am very very excited to introduce today’s episode to you because it is all about choral music! This is a genre that is very near and dear to my heart, and this repertoire coupled with renaissance choral music is some of my favorite to study AND sing! When most of us think of the Romantic period, we imagine the piano works of Chopin or the symphonies of Tchaikovsky. But alongside those grand orchestral gestures, the human voice became one of the most powerful

On 19th century German Poetry

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! As promised really for the last 2 episodes, I would be extremely remiss if I didn’t speak about poetry, and specifically German poetry, from the 19th century. Many of the texts of famous German lieder from this time are due to the very important figures, of which we are about to chat about. The great poets of the German Romantic movement inspired composers like Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Brahms to create songs that gave

Music in the Industrial Revolution

2025/10/01

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating period of change: the Industrial Revolution, and how it transformed music, instruments, and the very sound of the concert hall. The Industrial Revolution, spanning roughly from the mid-18th to the 19th century, was a time of dramatic change. Factories replaced workshops, trains shrank distances, and cities swelled with workers. But it wasn’t only industry and economics that evolved—music, too, was reshaped by this era of

Using Beethoven as a transition into the Romantic Era

Between the Barlines ·

2025/09/06

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we have somewhat of a special episode, based solely on opinions that are backed up by facts. As I mentioned in our last 3 episodes about Beethoven, he sits right on that historical fence between the Classical and Romantic periods, and musicologists love to argue about where he really belongs. So, today’s big question is: Is Ludwig van Beethoven a Classical era composer, or does he truly belong to the Romantic era?Instagram Results:classical 54%/romantic

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! We have reached the final episode about Ludwig van Beethoven today. We’ve learned thus far that Beethoven’s career is often divided into three creative phases: the Early Period, inspired by Haydn and Mozart; the Middle Period, defined by heroic, bold works such as the Eroica Symphony; and finally, the Late Period, which is our focus today.

2025/08/29

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we continue our chat about Beethoven with a discussion on his middle period. This period, often called the “Heroic” period, stretches from about 1803 to 1814. It marks the time when Beethoven transformed from a Classical composer into a revolutionary artist who redefined what music could do.Music mentioned in this episode:Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, "Eroica": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kSrLK7EemsSymphony No. 5 in c minor:

Between the Barlines ·

2025/08/27

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to start talking about a new composer, and it’ll be our final composer of the classical era. This composer is very interesting; I mentioned earlier in the season how up until I started studying for my DMA comprehensive exams last summer, I always thought of Beethoven as a classical composer. However, it seems that he is more likely to be grouped into an early romantic composer rather than a classical composer. Hopefully, in the next 3
