Can you give some examples of music based on stories?

Sure. One example is 'Carmen' by Georges Bizet. It's based on a novella by Prosper Mérimée. The story involves the passionate and tragic love between Carmen, a gypsy girl, and Don José. Another is 'Peter and the Wolf' by Sergei Prokofiev. It tells the story of a boy, Peter, and his encounter with a wolf in a very vivid musical way. And 'The Rite of Spring' by Igor Stravinsky can also be considered in a sense. It was inspired by pagan rituals which are like stories of a sort from a different cultural context.

Consider 'Hotel California' by Eagles. The lyrics are full of mystery and create a vivid story. Lines like 'On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair' set the scene. The guitar riffs and the overall mood of the song add to the sense of a strange and alluring story. Also, 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman. The lyrics tell a story of a person trying to escape a difficult life and find a better future. The simple yet powerful melody emphasizes the hope and determination in the story.

Sure. 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a great example. It tells the story of a mariner who shoots an albatross and then endures a series of supernatural punishments. Another one is 'Paradise Lost' by John Milton, which is based on the story of the fall of man from the Garden of Eden.

One example is 'The Birth of Venus' by Sandro Botticelli. It is based on the story of the goddess Venus emerging from the sea. Another is 'Guernica' by Pablo Picasso which was inspired by the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. And 'The Raft of the Medusa' by Théodore Géricault, which was based on the true story of the shipwreck of the French frigate Méduse.

In 'Norwegian Wood' by Haruki Murakami, Western music is often mentioned. The Beatles' song 'Norwegian Wood' is central to the story, and it reflects the mood and the emotional state of the characters.

Sure. 'The Commitments' by Roddy Doyle is a great example. It tells the story of a group of working - class Dubliners who form a soul band. Another one is 'Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist' which is a young - adult novel that uses music as a backdrop for the characters' adventures and budding relationship.
