So as I was thinking about writing my genealogy, I thought it would be interesting to write about something that is meaningful to  me, which is music. I am a music major so this opens me up to a variety of melodies that have been remixed and one can even say stolen from their original versions. At first I thought about doing a remix on some 60's songs. Many great artist came around that time, such as The Beatles. Throughout the years we have been able to hear their compositions in many different mediums. Many of their songs have actually been converted to a completely different form style, such as going from a rock band concert style of playing to an orchestral mellow way. But then my oboe professor made play an excerpt from the planets and that's when it hit me. I remembered how the planets is the place how the whole Star Wars trilogy soundtrack got its main melody. So I went and started to even research more into that and found out that the "Imperial March" is actually almost a complete replica of the 2nd movement of Holst Symphony "The Planets"  the movement being "Mars." So this opened up a much larger window because it led me to songs that had sampled the imperial march. That led me to songs that had sampled songs that had sampled the Imperial March. This was obviously the best choice for me but I also came up with one more idea. My last idea was to use the conversion of fairy tales into real life movies with human actors. The plays went from being just an idea type of thing and more of an imagination past time, to a real life event where the princes acts in a real place such as New York. This was seen in the 2015 Cinderella remake where Ella (Cinderella) is doing everything she does in the real Cinderella but in real life events. Well those were all of my ideas I had for my genealogy project.
