Description
Chapter 1 explores the two decades during which the peninsula entered in the French sphere of influences thanks to the Napoleonic campaigns. The music of the period accompanied the French ideals of liberty, fraternity and equality, while counter-revolutionary songs rejected these irreligious and revolutionary views.
This is the complete Chapter 1: The Napoleonic Era.
You are also encouraged to experience this chapter through its sections with the accompanying music.
