Artist's Comments

This probably won't make sense if you haven't seen Sweeney Todd.


This probably won't be funny, unless you have some knowledge of music/music theory.


Wikipedia says, "In music theory, a leading-tone (called the leading-note outside the US) is a note or pitch which resolves or "leads" to a note one semitone higher or lower, being a lower and upper leading-tone, respectively."

So my friend forced me (honestly forced, I had no choice in the matter) watched Sweeney Todd, and I was horrified at the man (yes, that is purposely vague as not to give spoilers) was killed right before he sang that last note. Seriously, if it wasn't for that bloody music theory class then it wouldn't have bothered me.

Maybe I should start making Musical Moments an actual comic.

Sweeney Todd is (c) to somebody who isn't me.
Myself and artwork is (c) to Celdiere Fantome.

The singing in that movie annoys the crap out of me. Those actors were not meant to sing >.<

I actually thought the fact that he died at that note gave the movie the kind of "well life sucks" feel. If he'd been able to sing the last little bit of whatever it would have been, then it would have made that scene give the feel of "life is ok, now I die." Even if the whole scene was encredibly depressing and somewhat disturbing ( with the fire thing ). I thought it was a good move on the directors part to have him die on that note. . .

It's ok if you dont understand a word of this, the way I think tends to be a little strange sometimes. ^^; I'm workin on it, i swear! DX

If at first you dont succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

I think he should have died on a tritone. Then the Catholic Church would've sent the Swiss Guard after him.

This amused me. Music theory for the win!

That last note bugged me too.

I wasn't sure what it was called though. Now I know. I learned something today.
Haw.

I just get over it by giggling and imaging that it's Jack Sparrow and Professor Snape singing a duet.

I totally understand all of that... but despite that, it's like my music theory instincts take over and say NO. THAT'S NOT ALLOWED. NO LEADING TONE FOR JOO.

Perhaps I could have snuck in with them, then my dream would have been completed.

And I'm pretty sure that the jessica-high-notes could almost be classified as tritones in themselves. X3
