Context of Connote
In Disney’s animated feature Beauty and the Beast (1991), Alan Menken and Howard Ashman created the song “Beauty and the Beast,” which functions as a love theme for Belle and the Beast. The song is based on well-established conventions for romantic passion: a major key, stable harmonies, a prominent use of violins, and a memorable melody with upward leaps in the melodic pattern. These conventions are so powerful that they connote romance whether or not an audience consciously recognizes their use.
