Programmatic music became en vogue in the Romantic period, but the history of the genre goes back to the beginning of music. Inspired by a text, programmatic music can be seen in the Renaissance, Baroque, Classical Romantic, and Modern periods. Let's talk about it!

With examples from Clément Janequin's "Le Chant des Oiseaux," the Largo from Vivaldi's concerto Spring, "Deh placatevi con me,” from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, the fourth movement from Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, "Pastoral," Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra, and Max Steiner’s Main Title to 1933's movie King Kong.
