Lyrical-Slow movement Dance-also called a minuet With the minuet comes the brisk finale Attention In this Symphony Franz Joseph Hadyn changed it to have Five Movements His last movement is a slow movement With this song that Joseph Franz Hadyn composed it is meant to send a message to its listeners. This symphony contains four movements. The reason why it is supposed to have the 4 movements is because it was performed in the Classical period. The four movements that Hadyn performed in this symphony is allegro, in the opening act. The allegro movement was a fast tempo. The second movement of the symphony is a very slow movement which is known as lyrical. The third movement is what they known as dance, also called a minuet. With the minuet came the brisk finale.

This composition was a true story This composition that Hadyn wrote is a true story. He wrote this with true live events of Prince Nicolas when he used to work with him. Every year Hadyn’s summer months were spent at Prince Nicolas’s new castle where he composed this piece. Only Hadyn and a few other me that worked for Prince Nicolas were able to bring their families with them to spend the summer days at the castle. The men that came with Prince, Nicolas to help his castle was utterly distraught and went to Hadyn for help to see if they could get Prince Nicolas to go back to their families. He composed a Symphony, that the instruments fall silent.

Hadyn performed this just like any other symphony with the four movements. . However, when the symphony was coming to an end, everyone was starting to clap and arise. Then something changed. Hadyn changed it to have a fifth movement This Symphony did what it was supposed to do with the crowd. It made a story, movement and a subtle message or not so subtle message. He was able to help out the workers by composing a symphony, and help the Prince Nicolas let them go home to their family. Prince Nicolas understood and let everyone go home

Listening guide F# Minor Staccato Notes Movement changes with a rest break of about 4 notes Quiet slow movement then builds up Listening Guides to Farewell Symphony No. 45   00:11 Movement 1 stats off with F# Minor, started off with the strings and have them do staccato notes. 00:31 Brings in the woodwinds with the same movement of staccato notes but they ascend into a louder movement. 01:00 The orchestra is still together with this movement, the difference is that Hadyn is provided breaks in between the notes. It is still staccato but the movement decrescendos into a quieter tone. Which is an interval in the piece to have a half note silence. 01:30 At the beginning of this minute and half movement, I am going to call it movement 2 because it changes from the beginning of the first song. It completely stops again with the rest break of about 4 notes. It is quiet slow movement then builds up to a medium fast pace movement to the loudest part of the piece it has yet to be. 01:45 Goes from the highest note that the strings can play in a soft tone. It then the tempo gets loud ascend and fast tempo. 02:10 has a round where the oboes and strings mimic each other. They play the same thing but each instrument is different. I have noticed timbre in this movement. 02:30 This movement builds up by having the strings once again play the same tune over and over again. This difference this time I notice a duple meter and it’s a fun jumpy movement. 02:50 Finishes off the fun jumpy movement, in turns as a vibrato in the strings to go back to the chorus with long notes. Completely different from the first 2 minutes of the song entirely. 03:10 Goes back to the fast long movements of the Allegro notes, slows back down to the tempo of the first movement. 03:30 In this movement, the oboes are going back to their high pitch with a rest in the song completely stopping for a good whole note. Then it breaks into the loudest notes fast tempo notes again. 03:50 The horns have their debut of their solo. Playing the note in a dark mood kind of like changing seasons from Fall to Winter. 04:15 The orchestra comes back to the chorus where they play all together. They play in staccato, fast movements and ascends to loud tones. 04:30 The Oboes are playing a solo where they play deep with fast notes (dark mood), at the same time the strings are playing high with a dark mood. 04:50 The strings are playing a chant where they start off slow and quiet. They then turn it around and ascend it to awake and happy notes. 05:20 The strings are coming back to do a brisk walk of the chorus as you are walking in a forest enjoying your day. 05:40 The strings are playing their melody while in the background you can hear the trumpets play a quiet note where something is about to happen. 06:00 The notes are getting mad by playing duple meters in this movement. It almost sounds like you are trying to run from someone after you were just enjoying the nice brisk Sunday walk in the forest. 06:30 High pitch notes from this movement with all of the orchestra. It is back again to the beginning of the symphony, almost feels like it is the end of the song. Then it rests again for a longer time than the other movements and changes the whole song. It’s not done! 06:50 I can hear the triple meter in this movement. Every third note it is loud and staccato. While the first 2 notes are soft and a little longer. Alisa Bailey Term Paper Professor Ferrin 07:10 This movement is slow, has lots of vibrato in the strings and oboes. Very quiet movement. Kind of like being in a church and listening to a hymn. 07:30 Back to the duple meter with this movement. Airy notes as if they are playing on a cloud. 08:00 Here the strings are very quiet with the first few notes, and then adding a sharp loud note to it every other 3rd note. While the trumpets are play a deep soft note in between. 08:30 This movement is very different from the rest of the song we have listened to. This part is quiet, soft holding out the notes longer. It is playing more half notes then the staccato note in the previous movements. 08:45 Oboes turn for a solo in having a dark tune with their vibrato. Duple meter following the strings.

7 Last Words of Christ In this message of his composition has to move the audience with the spoken words. The bishop was the narrator in the song to give the message to the audoience As we know Franz Joseph Hadyn wrote his symphonies with a message whether it be subtle or not so subtle. The Last Words of Christ has a deep spiritual message. The story is in a setting located in Spain. It was completely black room. The bishop is the narrator of the song, he was to move the audience with the spoken words. After each seven words that were introduced from the bishop, each Sonata was then played in return.
