As a Greek guy, I'm really happy to see Muses being represented as black Gospel Singers. It's a genius analogy with the ancient Muses, whose splendour was mostly seen as a reflection in the poet's evocations towards them. To see this wink at religious music both in ancient times and now really makes sense to me. Love it !

@emilysmith2965 Жыл бұрын

WAIT. WAIT. They’re all assigned specific Muses?! YES. Calliope (epic tales), Clio (history), Thalia (comedy), Terpsichore (dance), and Melpomene (tragedy). There are four other Muses in Greek mythology, but nine’s a pretty crowded stage. Euterpe (poetry), Polyhymnia (music and geometry), Erato (love songs and eroticism), Ourania (astronomy). Kinda makes sense they didn’t use those four. Though Euterpe was always my favorite in the little Greek myth encyclopedia I had. Still have it, I think. She has a flute that only poets can hear, which is objectively dope.

The trick to correcting that is to practice singing with your nose clamped with the goal of not sounding stuffy. Work with the vowels. If you can do vowel scales with your nose plugged and not sound stuffy, you'll find the right placement that'll correct your nasality. It's okay for effect, but should not be a standard.

The idea that the Gospels went from being very pointed with their singing and pronouncing every homophone to getting almost more relaxed and expressive with their runs is really conducive to the story; where you had the past, carved literally into stone, unmoving and precise, transitioning into the present which is ever shifting at a whirlwinds rate, is perfect. I also love how in all the Gospel Truth's we have each Muse tell their own part of the story. All different parts and different perspectives that make up the whole truth. But when it came to Megara and her love song? They were all in unison, as if there were no other ways to look at it, and it was just a simple, straight forward thing of her being in love.

Herc might have been the protagonist, but the muses where the real stars of the movie. My god i still can't believe how good they were, the music, the voice acting, the charisma, hell even their animations are consistently more fluid than the rest of the movie.

I love how u hear such different blends with the muses as well because when Lillias starts as Calliope, she starts sweet & articulate while Roz starts all grunty & powerful with Lachanze, Vaneese & Cheryl on the harms then Lillias starts belting it out. Then Lillias jumps to the Low Harms on “Tho honey it might seem impossible thats the gospel truth” while (I could be wrong) Lachanze & Cheryl jump to the main line top harms & belts for the first part then go back to Lillias & (I could be wrong as well) Lazhanze on the top for the second “tho honey” excetra like that song was done so well especially with every muse slaying the opening songs showing off their skills

This was probably the most fun I've had watching a vocal analysis ever. Your voice is stunning & listening to you recreate the lines & talking us through them? Amazing. Hercules was one of my all-time faves as a kid (still is) & it never would have succeeded without the fantastic cast of Muses.

Two of the things I find interesting about them using gospel music and it's percise pronunciation is that the reason gospel singing has that is because the words being sung are the gospel. The good news of salvation. You're literally delivering a message. Which fits perfectly with these characters because they are telling the story of Hercules. The style of sing lends itself to being an orator

Love love love how the voices they chose for the solos fit the vibe of the story telling so well. “I won’t say I’m in love” has been my favorite Disney song for ages. You just made me fall in love with this movie even more!!!

I always tell my daughter that Hercules deserves more love than it gets, for no other reason than the Muses. This was a joy to watch, not just because I love The Muses and the music of Hercules, but because it was such a joy to watch Jaron in this. You can tell he loves it too.

This movie is what introduced me to gospel music. I have loved it ever since. The soundtrack of this film doesn’t get enough attention, The Muses are played by Lillias White (Calliope, the muse of Epic Tales), Vanéese Y. Thomas (Clio, of history), Cheryl Freeman (Melpomene, of tragedy), LaChanze (Terpischore, of dance), and Roz Ryan (Thalia, of comedy). They absolutely nail it! And as a fun fact, each muse performs a song or part accurate to their mythological role! Calliope is the main one singing the story of Hercules, Thalia jokes about Hercules and has comedic bits during each song, Melpomene sings of Herc becoming mortal. It all plays into what made these characters fantastic as the narrators of the film!

Hands down best Disney soundtrack EVER!! I LOVE THE MUSES! Love the clarity in their voices - runs and all. No word is minced, no run is wasted, no growl too graveled. Perfect perfect PERFECT! And you’re correct about how in sync they are in unison - I feel like that’s always a huge tell of professionalism and cohesion. Every voice distinct but perfectly aligned. Love your breakdowns - had me outburst singing at work! 🙌🏾

IMO the Muses are the best part of this movie, just flawless gospel singing! Those bright gospel vowels sound like Easter morning to my ears, the sound of absolute joy and triumph. It's such a perfect genre for a Greek hero story. Your technical commentary about singing is always so comprehensible and incredibly informative in addition to your wonderful singing and enthusiasm, Jaron.

The gospel sections of the soundtrack are criminally short, I just keep replaying the 30 second bits of song, they're so exceptionally good and invigorating to listen to. Also as someone who studied antiquities, combining old Greek theatrical trope of a chorus with more modern gospel singing was inspired, now I want to see that in more modern movies.
