Map4Ham

A thematic atlas of Hamilton,
by Noah D

Explanation

Hamilton is a deeply interconnected work of art. The more I obsessed over the soundtrack the more I had to see how it would all look plotted on some sort of map. Months later I now present Map4Ham, a thematic atlas of Hamilton – a visual map of all the little callbacks and relationships that make the thing so dang brilliant. I haven’t seen the show 😥 [2017 update: saw it!] or even the score 😧, so this is all just transcribed from the recording and checked against lyrics online. Enjoy!

Connection Types

I’ve organized connections into seven types:

Harmonic Notation

I’m using a weird combination of roman numeral notation and slash chord notation, instead of figured bass. The idea is to notate chords in a “pop” style appropriate to the music, but independent of key. The basic rules are:

Melodic Notation

These are my own transcriptions, stripped down to just the core motivic material. The most salient part of a phrase is sometimes indicated with a bracket. Multiple versions of a melody are separated with double barlines. In some cases (“Angelica”, “Rise Up”) the intervals may vary but the indicated rhythm and contour are preserved.
