The History of Music in 7 Minutes

Yes, it’s in Spanish.

No, you don’t need to know much Spanish to enjoy this brief (7 minute) tour of the history of music.

The work of Pablo Morales de los Rios, the video is a catch-your-breath whirlwind tour from the ancient Greeks to modern day punk and heavy metal rock, with significant stops along the way in the baroque, classical and romantic periods.

What’s incredible is how much information the artist can convey via these drawings and the background music in such a short time. And, of course, it got me thinking: when are we doing to try to teach the Bible and the faith this way. Not just via animation – Spark House’s Reform does that very well – but also by demanding that you follow along, draw some of your own conclusions, and fill in the blanks with your imagination.

And, oh my goodness, but the end of the illustration is very cool. (Okay, now you’ll have to watch. :))
