1840s 1843 Anthropomorphism Brass Drum Humanised Instrument Instruments Quadrilles Rats Score Sheet Stringed Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This music cover, titled "Les Rats Quadrilles" or "The Rats Quadrilles," showcases an intriguing and whimsical composition by German composer G. Redler, published in 1843. The cover image, a charming representation of the era's anthropomorphic trend, features a lively assembly of rats engaged in the joyous pursuit of music-making. The rats, humanized in their attire and posture, are depicted with an air of merriment and camaraderie as they play an assortment of brass, stringed, and percussion instruments. The brass instruments, with their shiny, polished surfaces, gleam in the soft, warm light, while the strings of the violins and cellos are taut and ready to produce melodic harmonies. The drum, positioned in the center, sets the rhythm for the ensemble, its drumsticks poised and ready to strike. The title, "Les Rats Quadrilles," suggests that this piece is a collection of quadrilles, a popular dance form of the 1840s characterized by its lively, repetitive rhythms. The cover art, with its delightful anthropomorphism and musical score, invites the viewer to imagine the rats' lively performance and the infectious energy of the music they create. This beautiful, historic music cover is a testament to the power of music to bring people, or in this case, rats, together in celebration and joy. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the image, preserved in this sheet music print, offer a glimpse into the musical and artistic sensibilities of the 1840s.
