And so my EPIC: The Musical journey begins! I can't wait to watch more - in fact, be expecting the rest of The Troy Saga in the next coming weeks! 😁 Come and join me on Patreon to find out when my r&a to 'Just A Man' will be out! www.patreon.com/jenniferglatzhofer Oh! Thanks for confirming that Jorge is singing Odysseus’ part! BEAUTIFUL!😁

[@BrittanyArtPoetry]

Hey someone probably mentioned this but a few fun facts about the musical instruments. First each main character has their own instrument. Odysseus has the guitar but it’s fun to see if you can pick up on the rest. If there is a human character with a background vocals it means other characters (such as the crew) are echoing his words. Gods however can create a background chorus even when they are alone. Although the animatics aren’t technically canon, Jorge does go into detail in his own videos about the vision and background choices. Because of that they are probably pretty close and can be taken as canon or canon adjacent.

[@Dawn_the_dragon]

Some other facts: Odysseus is voiced by Jorge! (Or jay) he not only wrote the musical but voices the main character. He’s very talented! There is a “danger is coming” motif. It plays whenever there is danger. Make sure to listen to it as it plays fairly often The clock sound you hear in the beginning represents Athena! It shows that she is watching. I hope this helps!

[@jeremiahrisinger7985]

the ticking of the clock means that athena is watching

Haha! Am loving it 😁

[@axolotlqueen4812]

Fun fact: This relates to the background vocals. If the human characters are singing, and if background vocals are there, there HAVE to be other humans in the scene to do them. But when it comes to the gods when they sing, they can just summon their own background vocals since, you know, they’re gods.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

[@Valfara770]

Since I haven't seen the answer to your question about the singer in the comments yet, it is also the composer. He sings the main role of Odysseus. And about the comparison to Lin-Manuel, Jorge is also from Puerto Rico, so there might be some similar influences in their music. :)

Welcome to the fandom! There are a lot of musical easter eggs, special motifs, special instruments for certain characters and call-backs. The ticking noise is one of them. Also, Jorge is the writer and the lead character VA. He also voices some “creatures” you’ll see later on with voice effects

LETSGOOO! I love how Mortius started. Casper's journey and now he started yours. This musical is written by a GENIUS, which also is the voice of Odysseus if you didn't know already! He does have a beautiful voice. The talent Mr. Jalapeño (Jorge) has is UNBELIEVABLE. I loved your reaction and I would a 100% stick around for every reaction you do of this musical. Please continue the hard work and thank you for sharing your insight

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Aha thank you!

[@iNSaNiTY_714]

I love seeing musical people, like singers or vocal coaches and the like, react to Epic! There's probably not a single thing Jorge put into his music that was just "Eh, that sounds cool." Everything has a reason for being there. There are a lot of motifs that repeat throughout the songs that allude to different characters or scenarios. One important example of this is that almost every character has an instrument assigned to them! Odysseus, for instance, is the guitar! I hope you continue to enjoy the rest of the musical. Jorge is an absolute musical genius.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Love that! Thank you 😁

[@Fruity_one]

Yeay! The Winion council grows!!! (Info: the Winions is what the fans call themselfves) I've been seeing Mortius' reactions from day 1 and saw how he dragged Casper into this, so seeing them put someone else trough this cicle😂 I'll give you escential info if you may alow me to info dump: •Epic The Musical is an adaptation of a famous 'epic' poem made by *Homer,* called The Odyseey (It's not 100% acurate tho) in which our MC, after 10 years of fighthing on the troyan war, tries to go back to home to reunite with his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus, figthing against any foes that he and his men travel to the sea •Jorge likes to assing an instrument to each important character. For our MC is an Acoustic/Electric guitar (depending on the situation) And like that, many other characters have specific instruments and/or melodies •'Jay' devides each act in 'sagas'. To this day, we have 5 sagas, with 20 songs among all of them. Since this is still a work in process, we have anoter 4 sagas (and 20 songs) until this is finally completed Anyways- I hope you enjoy this journey Casper dragged you into and that you stay till the end!💙

[@SuperSonicBlur]

Couple of things worth listening out for in the future: 1) every character has their own "theme instrument" for example, Oddy has the guitar for him. Give a listen and see what each characters instrument is and if you can find the difference between god and man ;D 2) the ensemble voices for songs are, mostly, diegetic with the exceptions being gods because... Well gods can do whatever they want! 3) youre gonna love this :D

[@lowstamina_arts]

Thank you!

[@fleischsalat318]

Some knowledge about the facts about the Greek mythology stuff: This masterpiece is based on the Odyssey by Homer and tells the story of the King of Ithica on his long lasting journey back home after the trojan war from Homer's Iliad. The main character is Odysseus (sung by Jorge who also lends his voice to the winions and the cyclops Polyphemus later in the story). Penelope and Telemachus are his wife and son. Polites is his best friend. Eurylochus is also a close friend and his second in comment. Appearing gods through the first Saga are Zeus and Athena. You can easily make some research for the cast on the Epic the musical fandom page without getting any spoilers for you can avoid them quite good.

At 8:27 during the fight segment the strings in the background playing 2 pitches then pausing then playing another 2 is something called the danger is nearby motif and it’s very reoccurring (if you couldn’t tell what it means it’s in the name)

[@music_and_other_random_thi1330]

The danger motif is also playing while Odysseus is giving orders (it starts at Diomedes will lead the charge)

[@skylardoesthings]

Since i havent seen any comments on it yet, i thought i'd comment on it, Penelope is Odysseus' wife while Telemachus is their son! Their characters will get mentioned quite a lot in the musical since they're Odysseus' end goal (to go home and see them again,)

[@Zuzu1684]

Jorge actually does the vocals for odysseus himself, and a few others with some effects/reverbs, he has some amazing range.

[@johnpittsii7524]

Hi Jennifer hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤

[@ringzofmarz]

7:48 so the electric guitar actually has significance. Each of the main characters is represented by a musical instrument. Odysseus the main protagonist is represented by guitar. Acoustic for when he is more emotional and relaxed and electric for when he is cunning, angry or fighting.

[@MuriacyVenturaJr]

Your analysis is so cool! It's so funny to see all the army Casper is bringing to this... one better than the other, so cool

[@BlankNametagGaming]

I don't know if anyone has answered this yet but Jorge himself is not only the writer/composer of the musical but also the singer for the main character role.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@zhymonspuzzle9186]

Excellent reaction. Enjoyable and also made me appreciate new parts of the song.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Thank you!

[@feistsorcerer2251]

I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, but any backing vocals in the musical are from actual characters singing them unless there's a god present. Gods are essentially able to conjure their own backing vocals. It can help you to keep track of if there are background characters in a scene or not.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh amazing!

[@lilahjenner7127]

WELCOME to the Epic musical fandom.

[@DarkestNova556]

I’ll tell you now because it’s the first time you see it, but when there are background vocals, they are a real person for mortals. But for gods, they can create their own background vocals.

[@drayiskewl]

Fun Fact thats really interesting to think about when you continue to react: The background vocals are really interesting to think about in the context of humans and gods. When a human is singing and they have backup vocals, those voices are there diegetically (Odysseus sings, and his men are the backup vocals for example). However, when a god sings, they can sort of "summon" background vocals for themselves. It's very otherworlorldly, fitting for a god. All of the gods work in this way, and its a fun piece of musical storytelling i love.
