Topic: CLASSICAL PERIOD
Introduction:

The classical period in music is a period within the history of western art
music form about 1750 to 1820. The early 1700s reflected a musical style known
as ROCOCO.
The Classical period falls between the Baroque and the Romantic periods.
Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music and is less
complex. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line over a subordinate
chordal accompaniment, but counterpoint was by no means forgotten, especially
later in the period. It also makes use of style galant which emphasized light
elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and impressive grandeur.
Variety and contrast within a piece became more pronounced than before and
the orchestraincreased in size, range, and power.
The harpsichord was replaced as the main keyboard instrument by
the piano (or fortepiano). Unlike the harpsichord, which plucked strings with
quills, pianos strike the strings with leather-covered hammers when the keys are
pressed, which enables the performer to play louder or softer and play with more
expression; in contrast, the force with which a performer plays the harpsichord
keys does not change the sound. Instrumental music was considered important by
Classical period composers. The main kinds of instrumental music were the sonata,
trio, string quartet, symphony (performed by an orchestra) and the solo concerto,
which featured a virtuoso solo performer playing a solo work for violin, piano,
flute, or another instrument, accompanied by an orchestra. Vocal music, such
as songs for a singer and piano (notably the work of Schubert), choral works,
and opera (a staged dramatic work for singers and orchestra) were also important
during this period.
The best-known composers from this period are Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang
Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Franz Schubert; other notable
names include Luigi Boccherini, Muzio Clementi, Antonio Salieri, Leopold
Mozart, Johann Christian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and Christoph
Willibald Gluck. Ludwig van Beethoven is regarded either as a Romantic
composer or a Classical period composer who was part of the transition to the
Romantic era. Franz Schubert is also a transitional figure, as were Johann
Nepomuk Hummel, Luigi Cherubini, Gaspare Spontini, Gioachino Rossini,
and Carl Maria von Weber. The period is sometimes referred to as the era
of Viennese Classic or Classicism (German: Wiener Klassik), since Gluck, Mozart,
Haydn, Salieri, Schubert, and Beethoven all worked in Vienna.

Topic: WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
Introduction:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is

one of the heavyweights of
classical music, generally
placed in the top rank of
composers along
with Beethoven and Bach.
Many consider Mozart to be
the greatest composer of all
time.

Wolfgang Mozart was a child prodigy who wrote his first symphony at age eight,
then grew into a prolific adult who wrote over 600 pieces of music. Among his
most famous works are Eine kleine Nachtmusik (“A Little Night Music,” 1787) and
the operas Don Giovanni (1787) and Die Zauberflote (“The Magic Flute,” 1791).
Mozart died of a mysterious fever at age 35. Over the years various people have
speculated that Mozart was murdered, perhaps by rival composer Antonio Salieri,
but no proof exists to support that theory. In the year 2000 a scholarly panel
suggested that Mozart died of rheumatic fever; in t
he year 2009 a group of doctors suggested strep throat led to deadly kidney failure;
and others have suggested causes ranging from pneumonia to trichinosis from
undercooked pork chops.

Topic: FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN
Introduction:

Franz Joseph Haydn was among

the creators of the fundamental
genres of classical music, and
his influence upon later
composers is immense. Haydn’s
most celebrated pupil was
Ludwig van Beethoven, and his
musical form casts a huge
shadow over the music of
subsequent composers such as
Schubert, Mendelssohn and
Brahms.

Franz Joseph Haydn was recruited at age 8 to the sing in the choir at St. Stephen's
Cathedral in Vienna, where he went on to learn to play violin and keyboard. After he left
the choir, he supported himself by teaching and playing violin, while studying
counterpoint and harmony.

Haydn soon became an assistant to composer Nicola Porpora in exchange for lessons,
and in 1761 he was named Kapellmeister, or "court musician," at the palace of the
influential Esterházy family, a position that would financially support him for nearly 30
years. Isolated at the palace from other composers and musical trends, he was, as he
put it, "forced to become original."

The Mature Artist

While Haydn rose in the Esterházy family's esteem, his popularity outside the palace
walls also increased, and he eventually wrote as much music for publication as for the
family. Several important works of this period were commissions from abroad, such as
the Paris symphonies (1785-1786) and the original orchestral version of "The Seven
 Last Words of Christ" (1786). Haydn came to feel sequestered and lonely, however,
missing friends back in Vienna, such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, so in 1791, when a
new Esterházy prince let Haydn go, he quickly accepted an invitation to go to England
to conduct new symphonies with German violinist and impresario Johan Peter Salomon.
He would return to London again in 1794 for another successful and lucrative season.

Already well known and appreciated in England, Haydn's concerts drew huge crowds,
and during his time in England the composer created some of his most popular works,
including the "Rider" quartet and the Surprise, Military, Drumroll and London
symphonies.

Later Years

Haydn returned to Vienna in 1795 and took up his former position with the Esterházys,
although only part-time. At this point, he was a public figure in Vienna, and when he
wasn't at home composing, he was making frequent public appearances. With his
health failing, his creative spirit outlasted his ability to harness it, and he died at age 77.

Haydn is remembered as the first great symphonist and the composer who essentially
invented the string quartet. The principal engineer of the classical style, Haydn exerted
influence on the likes of Mozart, his student Ludwig van Beethoven and scores of
others.

Topic: LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN
Introduction: Ludwig van Beethoven (December 16,
1770 to March 26, 1827) was a German
pianist and composer widely considered
the greatest of all time, whose
innovative compositions combined
vocals and instruments, widening the
scope of sonata, symphony, concerto
and quartet. He is the crucial
transitional figure connecting the
Classical and Romantic ages of
Western music. Beethoven’s personal
life was marked by a struggle against
deafness, and some of his most
important works were composed during
the last 10 years of his life, when he
was quite unable to hear. He died at the
age of 56.

Some of Beethoven’s best-known compositions include:

'Symphony No. 3'

In 1804, only weeks after Napoleon Bonaparte proclaimed himself Emperor of France,

Beethoven debuted his "Symphony No. 3" in Napoleon's honor. Beethoven, like all of
Europe, watched with a mixture of awe and terror; he admired, abhorred and, to an
extent, identified with Napoleon, a man of seemingly superhuman capabilities, only
one year older than himself and also of obscure birth. Later renamed the "Eroica
Symphony" because Beethoven grew disillusioned with Napoleon, it was his grandest
and most original work to date. Because it was so unlike anything heard before it, the
musicians could not figure out how to play it through weeks of rehearsal. A prominent
reviewer proclaimed "Eroica" as "one of the most original, most sublime, and most
profound products that the entire genre of music has ever exhibited."

'Symphony No. 5'

One of Beethoven’s best-known works among modern audiences, "Symphony No. 5"
is known for its ominous first four notes. Beethoven began composing the piece in
1804, but its completion was delayed a few times for other projects. It premiered at the
same time as Beethoven’s "Symphony No. 6," in 1808 in Vienna.

'Fur Elise'

In 1810, Beethoven completed “Fur Elise” (meaning “For Elise”), although it was not
published until 40 years after his death. In 1867, it was discovered by a German music
scholar, however Beethoven’s original manuscript has since been lost. Some scholars
have suggested it was dedicated to his friend, student and fellow musician, Therese
Malfatti, to whom he allegedly proposed around the time of the song’s composition.
Others said it was for the German soprano Elisabeth Rockel, another friend of
Beethoven’s.

'Symphony No. 7'

Premiering in Vienna in 1813 to benefit soldiers wounded in the battle of Hanau,

Beethoven began composing this, one of his most energetic and optimistic works, in
1811. The composer called the piece “his most excellent symphony." The second
movement is often performed separately from the rest of the symphony and may have
been one of Beethoven’s most popular works.

TOPIC: AFRICAN MUSIC
INTRODUCTION:
African music may be divided into two types: African music of the Saharan areas
of the African continent and the music of North Africa falling under the influence of
Arabic cultures that is considered a distinct field of inquiry.
African music may be described as:
a. Part of everyday activities- everyone joins in clapping, singing and dancing to the
music.
b. Part of rites and ceremonies where it is performed by specialist master drummer
and court musicians.
c. Not normally written down but passed on through oral tradition, and
d. Relies heavily on percussion instrument

African songs are sung for every occasion, including:

a. Childhood lullabies and play song
b. Birthdays, marriage and funerals, and
c. Religious, political and tribal occasions.

In call- and response form the leader sings a line (the call) and is answered by a chorus
(the response). There is often an overlapping between the leader and the chorus. The
chorus part is usually homophonic (in block chords).

MARACATU – Maracatu is directly related to the coronation of the Black Kings

ceremony, which was first recorded in 1674 in the city of Recife. In the early 1700s
when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, the enslaved Africans would consecrate a
black leader, the king of Congo.

BLUES – Blues is the musical form and Genre that originated in African- American
communities in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19 th century
from spirituals work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple
narrative ballads.

SPIRITUALS -- The most important American antecedent of the blues was the spiritual
a form of religious song with its roots in the camp meeting of the Great Awakening of
the Early 19th century.
SOULS – Souls music is a music genre that combines rhythm and blues and gospel
music, originating in the United States. The genre occasionally uses improvisational
additions, twirls and auxiliary sounds.
