If you think the Berlioz story is insane it goes even deeper. He was so obsessed with Harriet at one point that he used to stalk her, book hotel rooms next to her so he could spy on her. His first mental breakdown was when he found out she was having an affair with her manager. And the reason why she didn’t reply to his letters and why they eventually divorced is because he spoke French and she spoke English, they literally couldn’t understand each other the entire time. The only reason she acc agreed to marry him is because he poisoned himself infront of her, she then in shock said she’d marry him, then he whipped out the antidote from his pocket. The fucking OG gaslighter. Also I’m a musician and I wish you would’ve talked about the 20th century cos there was some pretty crazy stuff that went on then but great vid!
Honestly can't tell if Historian genuinely became passionate about the theatre and wanted to share it with us or if he's just been too deep into Wikipedia again
My high school stage production teacher fell into the pit, 8 feet down, directly onto his right knee (this man was 6' 8" and 300 lbs) and broke his leg in 3 places and completely shattered his knee. He was out for the rest of the year but recovered after surgery and is still teaching. Shouts out to Mr. N and the Flagler auditorium.
I get these wonderful new songs playing in my head sometimes. And by "sometimes" I mean it's always at 2am, and I'm not talented enough to transcribe it quickly enough to bother getting out of bed at 2am. All those songs are gone forever. Pat my head please.
I mean yeah, but i also feel like theoretical ideas and practices can achieve a lot better than just imagination can achieve. It also works back n forth like that, if you dont have a good theoretical and practical framework ( in art you usually get better theoretical understanding from practice ) you cant imagine shit. I sometimes imagine compositions for illustrations in my head, but when i try to put them to paper, i understand that what i imagined wasnt actually a vivid picture, but more of an abstract idea.
Kinda crazy how this man can virtually disappear for half a year to a year and come back and drop a video and get over a million views in less then 24 hours
The moral of Berlioz’s story is if you love someone enough, all you have to do is: - get rejected by them many times - write a song about them - fall in love with someone else - get cheated on by them - plot to kill them, their lover and their mother for some reason, along with killing yourself - fail to do any of that and go home - smoke opium and write more songs - have her attend your concert and fall in love with you And for good measure, cheat on her with the housemaid.

I live 10km from where Berlioz was born, and I love classical music. This episode is a masterpiece. I feel even fancier than before. Thank you internet historian !
I feel like such a fancy boy now. I may even wash my best anime t shirt, take a bath, and go to Olive Garden. I would never have had the confidence to do any of that without IH and his video.
I couldn't agree more. Tike to rinse the concrete dust off my finest hoodie, break out the weekend pants, swap my shoelaces for something respectable, and hit the local Red Lobster.
Amateurs. Have you learned nothing from his videos? I, on the other hand, will be donning my finest leggings, ADIDAS sliders and tank top, and will take a leisurely drive in my 1998 Civic to my local Golden Corral. It's the beginning of the month, after all, so my welfare check will be an absolute boon. Afterwards, I will be stopping by the illustrious Rent-A-Center. You plebians likely have never even heard of the boutique, it's *very* exclusive. Finally, my day will be wrapped up by a visit to the most cultured place of refined entertainment, the nearby trailer parks. Cletus and Petey are having a scrap, much like the respected gladiators of ancient times.
The sheer relentless unhinged rambling of this man combined with the fact that it teaches you something and the fact that by the end of the video you realise that you learned something is hands-down marvellous. Godspeed, mr Historian, godspeed!
Awesome video, as per usual Mr. Historian. Fun fact about Shakespeare's globe shown around the 14 minute mark. Its an open-top theatre so people standing in the yard are exposed to the elements, whilst those further back in the more expensive seats are not. It was also not uncommon for people in the galley to urinate over the side, onto the spectators below. So if someone in London ever asks if you 'want to suffer for Shakespeare' think twice before you take them up on the offer...
Bu-but he's a historian on the internet. Know I know, there are other historians that talk online, but what about exclusively online? Maybe IH lives in a Telstra comms station.
@V742 technically a lot of historians now talk exclusively online. Unless you're a professor, government, or work for some organization, a lot of historians now do everything online. Journal articles, books, basically like 70% of scholarly work has been done online the last decade or so.
I was done when he said, "By the time anyone notices--" Then cut to the guy ranting about Neon Genesis Evangelion at the dinner table 😂 "--It'll be too late." (Regarding sliding in amongst the so-called "cultured" 😅)
Lil fact, the Bible was never passed down solely by spoken word. It was in written form in Hebrew times (see the Dead Sea Scrolls), and was meticulously copied over and over, one penstroke at a time, by early Latin monks. As mentioned, the Latin version was widely misused, at the time by the Roman Church. The English translation was illegal because it undermined the church’s authority to say whatever they wanted, and they said it was because “common man cannot be trusted to interpret its meaning and we are divinely right” while they themselves were guilty of straight up deceit. Later, when Luther nailed his 95 thesis (95 grievances) to the door of a church, it started a chain of events ending in a huge split from the Catholic Church. Luther believed salvation couldn’t be bought with money, but given by God’s grace alone. It was only later as the printing press really took off did English copies of the Bible become easily accessible. however, even before that, the students of the original translator (a teacher at old oxford) (who’s name I know I’ll spell wrong so I won’t try) copied it over and over and distributed it across the region, and even foreign countries. The Bible has been in written form from the start.
I would recommend reading Berlioz's Memoirs for the details of romances, it's pretty crazy in his own words. But besides that, his writing style is also really colorful and ornate, much in the early 19th-century style, and it can be pretty fun to read. Also, his description of the Paris music scene at the time of his youth is extremely interesting - for one thing, he makes a lot of references to the composers who were considered "the greats" at the time, and I guarantee you'll have probably never heard of any of them. One other anecdote, his description of the July Revolution of 1830 (which saw the overthrow of the Bourbon Monarchy and the rise of the Orléanist Monarchy) is really interesting - having gotten together his friends one afternoon, they started to sing the Marseillaise in public on a balcony in Paris, and after a while they realized about 1000 people were standing around listening to them, and Berlioz started conducting all of them to sing the anthem. It was such a sensational event that the by-now elderly composer of the anthem, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, wrote a personal letter to Berlioz in thanks for the performance.
And regardless of where you get the information, it's your ability to sum up that information that's impressive. "If i had more time, I would have wrote fewer words.", as they say.
As a jazz musician. Amateurs. You’re not a real man until you do a lot of heroin, get in a cab with a prostitute, and 69 right in front of a young Miles Davis.
There is literally nothing on the internet that comes close to this unique style of storytelling. No matter how hard it is or how long it takes, people will appretiate your art (yes i said art), because you are truly immaculate ❤️
@@novideohereatall Yea if this was on the second channel it would’ve been fine but that one ain’t main channel worthy. Was just him clicking trough Wikipedia basically
One of my favorite Mozart quote is when he described operetta as "certain dramatic abortions, those miniature compositions in which one finds only cold songs and couplets from vaudeville."
if only he didnt put them in the middle of his videos. then i could actually stay immersed. i dont care how good the cut away is i dont care how good the video is. put an ad in the middle of the video instant dislike.
The Planets have aligned, The animals gathered, The trees grew, and we all gathered once again to witness a masterpiece, WELCOME BACK MR. INTERNET HISTORIAN!
i spent countless hours studying Berlioz in Uni and still had difficulty explaining his story. Now I’m seeing Internet Historian explain it all perfectly in under 10 minutes. Another interesting thing is what a true underdog that guy was. He got trodden on by the upper academics a ridiculous amount of times for being too metal before he hit it big. He was also severely mentally ill and got prescribed a bath to cure it.
Im just sad he left out the part that he got mad at the actor lady and made her a witch that causes him to get beheaded in symphont fantastique. Thats my favorite part lol
Was thinking the same thing, but I love those videos too, so I just decided to roll with it and see what lunacy this was about. I learned more than I ever expected!
@@misteral9045 so because we are raised in society we cannot criticise it? whatever kiddo. besides he didn't take the piss out on anyone. you're just salty over some jokes
As a former theater kid i want to say the orchestra pit net has saved me and my friends multiple times, and we were pretty scared hovering over a 20 ft drop, but that didnt stop us from throwing the lead into the pit during a preformance of Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat
i mean... im a huge joseph stan (know every word of every song lol) and its literally written in the song to throw him in the pit haha "tore his coat then flung him in a pit... let us leave him here ALL ALONE AND HES BOUND TO DIE"
I swear I have a spidey sense for IH videos. I just wake up thinking, “there’s a video from IH coming” or “man I haven’t heard from IH in a while”. Every video from IH and Storymode for like the last 5 videos, I’ve felt it and then voila it’s in my inbox
For any RUclipsr, this channel is a masterclass in how to make sponsored segments engaging and effective. I actually look forward to the hilarious ads in Internet Historian videos.
He's one of the few to do it right. You have to actually turn the ad segment into content so that people do not skip it. Bruce Rivers is also good at doing it repeatedly (more of a daily upload format), he often throws a joke around the sponsor product at the expense of one of the parties covered in the video. Rarely longer than 30 seconds and it works. I skip most other sponsor segments.
I majored in History almost a couple decades ago. I only truly started enjoying the subject after stumbling upon the Internet Historian channel. EDIT: loved Henry and Father Godwin's cameo!
just watch it 4 more times again but on here? It helps the original creator and not some freeboter who does a pogchamp face everytime something happens
From 20:24 to 21:06 the music is an edited and looped version of the intro to the ending theme of Final Fantasy X; which is a full, lush version of "To Zanarkand". Great taste, Internet Historian.
Nothing shows the relentless passage of time like a new Internet Historian upload.

The moral of Berlioz’s story is if you love someone enough, all you have to do is:
- get rejected by them many times
- write a song about them
- fall in love with someone else
- get cheated on by them
- plot to kill them, their lover and their mother for some reason, along with killing yourself

- smoke opium and write more songs
- have her attend your concert and fall in love with you

Finally, my day will be wrapped up by a visit to the most cultured place of refined entertainment, the nearby trailer parks. Cletus and Petey are having a scrap, much like the respected gladiators of ancient times.

This is great! If the I am become fancy series continues at the normal rate of Internet historian uploads, I'll be upper middle class by 90!!

This feels like that one friend who won't let you end the conversation
internet historian is like my father who came back with milk and the milk he bought back is peak quality
bring back gold top
And then he says he forgot the cigarettes and has to go back
but he's been gone for years, the milk is off, sorry son, i have to get some more milk
The only reason it took him 10 years is because he was looking for your favorite cookies to go with the milk.
false..
The sheer relentless unhinged rambling of this man combined with the fact that it teaches you something and the fact that by the end of the video you realise that you learned something is hands-down marvellous. Godspeed, mr Historian, godspeed!
Awesome video, as per usual Mr. Historian. Fun fact about Shakespeare's globe shown around the 14 minute mark. Its an open-top theatre so people standing in the yard are exposed to the elements, whilst those further back in the more expensive seats are not. It was also not uncommon for people in the galley to urinate over the side, onto the spectators below. So if someone in London ever asks if you 'want to suffer for Shakespeare' think twice before you take them up on the offer...
He is no longer the internet historian he is now just a historian
Bu-but he's a historian on the internet.
Know I know, there are other historians that talk online, but what about exclusively online? Maybe IH lives in a Telstra comms station.
@@V742Probably actually lives in a Tesco gas station
Or he's The Internet!
You guys don't get it he covers historical events with modern day linguistics and comparison to make us simpletons understand
@V742 technically a lot of historians now talk exclusively online. Unless you're a professor, government, or work for some organization, a lot of historians now do everything online. Journal articles, books, basically like 70% of scholarly work has been done online the last decade or so.
The level of editing quality in this is insane. You can clearly see the progression in all of the moving parts. Amazing work!
He outsources the editing now.
I almost spit out my coffee with that Jacksfilms house joke. Absolutely hilarious.
right!! and the sponsor where he clearly is taking a shot at Xqc and all those guys who just leave videos running and then go 'MODS MODS'
Me too. When I was here the first time, it's like no one knew what that even meant. What?! It was the funniest part of the ad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too! 😂

I was in a play about a private Dick called Hector Berlioz. I wonder if they're related.
As someone that works in theatre professionally this is a cracking video.
You can tell he's genuinely invested because he's gone full kiwi with his storytelling and that's perfect
What?
Isn't he Australian?
@@alphachad4631 No he's from New Zealand

As a classical musician and internet historian fan seeing these two worlds collide is fascinating and a little terrifying
Ah
Having that one composer dress up as a character from Akiba Maid War just really shows how cultured these composers are.
I was done when he said, "By the time anyone notices--"
Then cut to the guy ranting about Neon Genesis Evangelion at the dinner table 😂
"--It'll be too late." (Regarding sliding in amongst the so-called "cultured" 😅)
E
Was trying to figure out where that was from. These composers really were cultured
??
@@Triantalex People seem to think these days that to be cultured means to have knowledge of some sort of weird anime. Completely stupid of course.
Lil fact, the Bible was never passed down solely by spoken word. It was in written form in Hebrew times (see the Dead Sea Scrolls), and was meticulously copied over and over, one penstroke at a time, by early Latin monks. As mentioned, the Latin version was widely misused, at the time by the Roman Church. The English translation was illegal because it undermined the church’s authority to say whatever they wanted, and they said it was because “common man cannot be trusted to interpret its meaning and we are divinely right” while they themselves were guilty of straight up deceit. Later, when Luther nailed his 95 thesis (95 grievances) to the door of a church, it started a chain of events ending in a huge split from the Catholic Church. Luther believed salvation couldn’t be bought with money, but given by God’s grace alone. It was only later as the printing press really took off did English copies of the Bible become easily accessible. however, even before that, the students of the original translator (a teacher at old oxford) (who’s name I know I’ll spell wrong so I won’t try) copied it over and over and distributed it across the region, and even foreign countries.
The Bible has been in written form from the start.
I would recommend reading Berlioz's Memoirs for the details of romances, it's pretty crazy in his own words. But besides that, his writing style is also really colorful and ornate, much in the early 19th-century style, and it can be pretty fun to read. Also, his description of the Paris music scene at the time of his youth is extremely interesting - for one thing, he makes a lot of references to the composers who were considered "the greats" at the time, and I guarantee you'll have probably never heard of any of them.
One other anecdote, his description of the July Revolution of 1830 (which saw the overthrow of the Bourbon Monarchy and the rise of the Orléanist Monarchy) is really interesting - having gotten together his friends one afternoon, they started to sing the Marseillaise in public on a balcony in Paris, and after a while they realized about 1000 people were standing around listening to them, and Berlioz started conducting all of them to sing the anthem. It was such a sensational event that the by-now elderly composer of the anthem, Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, wrote a personal letter to Berlioz in thanks for the performance.
Wow that's beautiful, thanks for the info
"and then everyone clapped"
Bro the historical footnotes are absurdly amazing in this one. You killed it.
Huh how? It's basically wikipedia lol....
And regardless of where you get the information, it's your ability to sum up that information that's impressive.
"If i had more time, I would have wrote fewer words.", as they say.
Classical musician here, the fact that you made a video that focuses on Berlioz utter insanity is a joy I can't describe.
As a jazz musician. Amateurs.
You’re not a real man until you do a lot of heroin, get in a cab with a prostitute, and 69 right in front of a young Miles Davis.
Classical musician here; seconded!!!
berlioz was such a weirdo lol
??
My already unlimted respect to IH got even higher the moment I saw the Akiba Maid Wars reference
As a classical music fanatic, I never thought internet historian would make a video explaining the eras of classic music. This is great.
Honestly same. I want to see TwoSetViolin react to that segment lol.
There is literally nothing on the internet that comes close to this unique style of storytelling. No matter how hard it is or how long it takes, people will appretiate your art (yes i said art), because you are truly immaculate ❤️
This one felt a bit less like the usual great ones and more like randomly thrown together bits of different videos
@@sirpeterbaum4695 Yeah this one was boring and uninteresting, if it was made by anyone else I would've probably skipped it on the first minute.
Literally?
@@sirpeterbaum4695 Feels a bit more like content from his other channels rather than main-channel content.
@@novideohereatall Yea if this was on the second channel it would’ve been fine but that one ain’t main channel worthy. Was just him clicking trough Wikipedia basically
One of my favorite Mozart quote is when he described operetta as
"certain dramatic abortions, those miniature compositions in which one finds only cold songs and couplets from vaudeville."
Mozart is always funny, he's like _the_ "classy orchestral music" guy but the man himself had no filter and the humor of a twelve-year-old
but all those letters to his cousins are quite funny too, to say the least
@@zephiask1758"...and make it burst"
"But he just wouldn't hear it"
Genuinely slapped my forehead on that one.
Not did he only summarize theatre in one video, he also summarize streaming history in one add, this man is a genius! :D
That felt personal ahhha😂

Dear lord... The Berlioz story was quite the rollercoaster. 😵💫
This dude turns his ads into hilarious comedy skits every single time... it's the perfection of videography... or something like that.
if only he didnt put them in the middle of his videos.
then i could actually stay immersed.
i dont care how good the cut away is i dont care how good the video is.
put an ad in the middle of the video instant dislike.
@@zanezonair That's an interesting rule that you've made there... I didn't have the same problem as you.
@DPH_Psychosis I don't recall crying but alrighty.
@@DingusMcRingus it's kinda like ads in long RUclips videos. They tend to just appear at the worst time.
I just personally can't stand it.
Why would you ever give an ad your attention? Lol@DPH_Psychosis
Is there anyone in YT that makes ads this entertaining? Even if it's a shitty service that I don't need, I still watch them.. amazing job, sir.
There is that one French RUclips channel named “le joueur du grenier” that makes very cool ads

Doesn't feel like main channel video to me
false..
i spent countless hours studying Berlioz in Uni and still had difficulty explaining his story. Now I’m seeing Internet Historian explain it all perfectly in under 10 minutes.
Another interesting thing is what a true underdog that guy was. He got trodden on by the upper academics a ridiculous amount of times for being too metal before he hit it big. He was also severely mentally ill and got prescribed a bath to cure it.
I mean a bath can do wonders
Im just sad he left out the part that he got mad at the actor lady and made her a witch that causes him to get beheaded in symphont fantastique. Thats my favorite part lol
yes
"just shower more bro"
@@rajatmondHoly shit you're right, that's exactly the same garbage "advice" people still say to this day.

Thank you, Internet Historian.
This feels like a somewhat more organized Incognito Mode video that made its way onto the main.
and without a collaboration
Was thinking the same thing, but I love those videos too, so I just decided to roll with it and see what lunacy this was about. I learned more than I ever expected!
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley It's an Australian taking the piss out of the cultural base that produced him. Nothing to learn.
@@misteral9045 so because we are raised in society we cannot criticise it? whatever kiddo. besides he didn't take the piss out on anyone. you're just salty over some jokes

As a former theater kid i want to say the orchestra pit net has saved me and my friends multiple times, and we were pretty scared hovering over a 20 ft drop, but that didnt stop us from throwing the lead into the pit during a preformance of Joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat

For any RUclipsr, this channel is a masterclass in how to make sponsored segments engaging and effective. I actually look forward to the hilarious ads in Internet Historian videos.
The shade he threw at Sniperwolf. . . . XD
He's one of the few to do it right. You have to actually turn the ad segment into content so that people do not skip it.
Bruce Rivers is also good at doing it repeatedly (more of a daily upload format), he often throws a joke around the sponsor product at the expense of one of the parties covered in the video. Rarely longer than 30 seconds and it works. I skip most other sponsor segments.
Many have imitated the IH ads, but none can match the OG.
I'm sure I once watched a compilation of just IH adverts and I'm not sorry.
I can’t believe I actually laughed during an ad segment but IH just is too good 😂
Ice Cream Sandwich does excellent custom sponsorships too.
My earphones disconnected and internet historian yelled “ah finally the VAGINA MONOLOGUE” in front of everyone…god, my parents and my cat……all of them
could be worse like the two gentlemen wrestling
Your cat definitely thinks less of you now for that.
You almost covered every kind of theater.... all but the prestigious Dinner Theater, where the upperclass go for dinner and a show, all in one!
My god why did I sleep on this video for 9 months! This video is amazing! Internet Historian would make the best Historian Teacher ever!
He is back, nature is healing, time to binge all his older videos as is tradition
Well, Mudasir...looks like you're going away for a long time...
Berlioz had one of the most accidental redemption arcs of all time.
I am grateful my grandchildren will be able to see your next upload mr historian

I majored in History almost a couple decades ago.
I only truly started enjoying the subject after stumbling upon the Internet Historian channel.
EDIT: loved Henry and Father Godwin's cameo!
Big fan of the footnotes that further explain the funny bits. Especially the ones that clarify things like "this is not true"
Internet Historian is the only one that makes me come back to a video not only to rewatch it, but to look forward to rewatching a sponsor section.
The production value of this video is insane, the Berlioz bit is instant classic
E
I can't believe you'd make a joke about Lincoln's death man, too soon...
Your vocal delivery of this script is probably my new favorite of yours. You really nailed this recording.
This man could talk about the most uneventful weekend he's ever had and I'd watch it 5 times over.

Can't wait to watch this four more times with the streamer just staring at the screen
Why are we like that, haha
just watch it 4 more times again but on here? It helps the original creator and not some freeboter who does a pogchamp face everytime something happens
Maybe don't watch those talentless parasites?
From 20:24 to 21:06 the music is an edited and looped version of the intro to the ending theme of Final Fantasy X; which is a full, lush version of "To Zanarkand".
Great taste, Internet Historian.
