Now I am sure that you are wondering “What in the blessed world does the title have to do with the previous paragraph” (Not in exact same words though) To clear things out I shall explain my motivation henceforth.
If I ask you “Have you ever listened to classical music?” I am sure most of you would say “No”. But the truth is even if you are a hardcore rock fan; you most definitely have heard classical music pieces. Let me give you some examples.
- Have you ever heard the tune that most of the three-wheeler bread sellers use? That is “Für Elise” by Beethoven.
- Have you ever listened to the closing credits of the cartoon “Denis the Menace” (දඟයා)? That is Eine kleine Nachtmusik” by Mozart.
- Have you ever watched Twilight? (I know that the question raised a few eyebrows J) There Edward and Bella listens to “Clair de Lune” by Debussy.
- Now for more controversy! Have you ever listened to “Wasanthaye” by Bathiya and Santhush? Yes? Well I am not going to tell what classical piece that is, because it would be the subject of my next blog post. (If I ever write it that is)
Now I shall explain what triggered a blog post all of a sudden. Well the story goes like this,
The other day I was listening to Beethoven’s Für Elise at my work place. One of our graphics designers heard the tune coming from headphones (I listen to music very loud of-course) and inquired, “ඔය අර චූන් පාං සින්දුව නේද?” (“Isn’t it the cheerful bread song?”). Needless to say I was quite shocked. He and most of the people that have heard this tune from the bread sellers, has created a mental connection between the two.
