Classical Period 1750-1820

Style of music from Classical period Away from long lines; Toward graceful, detailed elaboration Light, flowing melodic style free from complexities of polyphony Short, simple, regular phrases that were predictable Homophonic – melody over accompaniment moving together Use of dance rhythms

Style of music from Classical period Variety and contrast were used Increased use of crescendo, decrescendo & sforzando Frequent changes in mood Orchestra increased in size Harpsichord was replaced by the piano as a solo instrument

The rise of the music industry Italian opera continued to flourish Operas also began to be produced for common folks in their native languages Music publishing began to make the favorite songs from the newest operas available for the public to purchase & play Instruments began to be produced that were affordable for common folk Concerts for the public began to be given

Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) Born in Austria Joined church choir at age 8 Learned to play the violin and keyboard instruments His most original ideas were in his string quartets and symphonies (an extended orchestral work in several movements, usually 3 or 4) String Quartets were designed for amateur musicians

Haydn’s music Wrote more symphonies than anyone else. Called the “Father of the Symphony” 12 symphonies were his greatest achievement in orchestral music, known by nicknames – “Clock,” “Surprise,” “Drum Roll,” “Miracle,” “Farewell” His symphonies & string quartets have four movements – the 1st & 4th are fast, the 2nd is slow, and the 3rd is a minuet (a dance in 3,4 time)

Haydn’s music The oratorio, The Creation, best summarizes his work as a composer. It is mature, yet simple. String Quartet Opus 76 No. 3 is nicknamed “Emperor” because in the second movement, Haydn quotes the melody from "God Save Emperor Francis", an anthem he wrote for Emperor Francis II (The same melody is used for the German national anthem)

Haydn’s music Other works – string quartets, concertos, marches, chamber music, operas, oratorios, choral music, keyboard music, vocal music
