cheering up and feel good

Category: Topics

Definition: Cajolery, comfort, or feel-good number. Cheer-up numbers include situations when a character speaks to himself and finds back his energy while singing. (NB “lullaby” is another topic. Here it's about finding energy)

Example: “Climb Ev’ry Mountain” (Sound of Music); “Melody of Laughter (1)” (Merry Widow)
