The impressionist era was the third era and occurred in the 20th century. Amongst the three eras, there have been two popular cadres of music, which include the baroque music and modern classical music. There are some differences between these two categories of music.

The novel, “Othello” by William Shakespeare and “A Clock Orange” by Anthony Burgess are two readings that demonstrate some musical elements. The two authors explain the insights of protagonists the use of musical elements. In “Othello,” the author uses musical elements to set off memories in the minds of fictional characters.

Notably, the performers can brilliantly and carefully utilize the stage and their musical instruments. When demonstrating how the Israelites were chained per the order by the Egyptian king, the performers decide to use low voices and moderately soft voices that show the pains by the Israelites. Besides, the performers demonstrate a clear understanding of the theme by allowing Moses to put different facial expressions for different occasions. For instance, before the Israelites pass the red sea, the actors play their musical accompaniments in harmony and rhythmically depicting a unified course.
