Hi Irwin- You know music, right? Maybe you can shed some light- All weekend there was endless promotion of the Tonys and Hamilton. I'm no fan of Broadway, but have found merit from time to time in some of that genre, but Hamilton? I just don't get it. anyone else?

Irwin:

Jan - I know music. About Broadway - nada.

Hiya Irwin! Totally digging this track!

Irwin- But have you heard Hamilton? It's Rap the music of our time, or so I heard Lin-Manuel Miranda say on TV. And you have played show tunes...

The Hamilton phenomenon has barely penetrated my consciousness. And I still don't know what a Kardashian looks like.

This track is playing because it features basic rock song structures, a subtle use of vocal harmony, mild rhythmic syncopation, major key tonality, and a vocal-centric aesthetic.

This track is playing because it features an angular melody, strong rhythmic syncopation, a compelling intensity, a sense of anxiety, wildly complex rhythm, chromatic harmony, atonal harmony, dissonant harmony, a Modern style, a Contemporary style, and a broad tempo.
