Franz Joseph Haydn, Composer Dates: Born March 31, 1732 in Rohrau, Austria Died May 31, 1809 in Vienna, Austria Nationality: Austrian Famous Works: "Surprise" Symphony, numerous symphonies, string quartets, opera, and keyboard music Biography: Franz Joseph Haydn was born in the Austrian village of Rohrau. His childhood was an extremely musical one, singing together frequently as a family and with neighbors. At a very early age his parents, Mathias and Maria, recognized their son's musical talent and accepted an offer to allow schoolmaster and choirmaster Johann Matthias Franck to train young Franz as a musician. In his teens Franz left the choir to begin working as a freelance musician and composing when he had time. His big break came when he was asked to be the court conductor for Prince Esterhazy, a wealthy Hungarian with an orchestra of his own. Haydn worked for the Prince for 30 years composing many symphonies and other works. When the prince died Haydn decided to travel to London. When he arrived, he discovered that he was a famous composer with many of his compositions being performed and sold as sheet music for many years. Perhaps more than any other music composer, Haydn is known for his wit. The most popular example is found in his Surprise Symphony when his light simple melody is suddenly altered. In May 31, 1809, Haydn died a happy man and a beloved composer. Considered to be one of the greatest composers of the classical era, he is referred to as the "Father of the String Quartet" and the "Father of the Symphony." He didn’t invent these styles, rather he crafted them into something other composers wanted to imitate for years to come. He is often lovingly remembered as “Papa Haydn.” Click here to listen to Haydn’s Surprise Symphony: http://viewpure.com/4Cs_f3GupCo What was surprising about what you heard? ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Click here to listen to the same melody, but with lyrics added.

Program Notes
Program Notes for kids Romeo & Juliet Saturday, October 8, 2016 8:00 p.m. Michigan Theater Brahms Tragic Overture Haydn Sinfonia Concertante, Op. 84 Intermission Prokofiev Romeo & Juliet Tragic Overture by Johannes Brahms What kind of piece is this? This piece is a concert overture, similar to the overture of an opera. An opera overture is the opening instrumental movement that signals to the audience that the perfor- mance is about to begin. Similarily, a concert overture is a short and lively introduction to an instrumental con- cert. When was it written? Brahms wrote this piece in the summer of 1880 while on vacation. Brahms at the Piano What is it about? Brahms was a quiet and sad person, and really wanted to compose a piece about a tragedy. With no particular tragedy in mind, he created this overture as a contrast to his much happier Academic Festival Overture, which he completed in the same summer. When describing the two overtures to a friend, Brahms said “One of them weeps, the other laughs.” About the Composer Fun Facts Johannes Brahms | Born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Ger- Brahms never really grew up.

Joseph Haydn, Op 76 No 5 in D Major Transcript
Joseph Haydn, Op 76 No 5 in D major Transcript Date: Thursday, 18 March 2010 - 12:00AM Location: Museum of London Haydn: Quartet Op. 76 No. 5 Professor Roger Parker 18/3/2010 Today's lecture is about Haydn's Op. 76 No. 5, and with it we come to the last of our three Haydn string quartets, all of them from the Op. 76 collection. In the last lecture, on Op. 76 No. 2, I mentioned something about how Haydn had fared in the two centuries since he wrote these marvellous quartets: how writers and listeners had, during those two centuries, tried to come to terms with him and his music; and also how that coming-to-terms changed with the changing times. For the nineteenth century, that great age of biography, the efforts were hampered by difficulties over what we might (anachronistically) call Haydn's "personality", an area that proved hard to grasp for Romantic sensibilities. While it was easy to paint seductive pictures of bewigged Mozart as the eternal child-genius, and of bad-hair-day Beethoven as titanic and sublime, Haydn seemed, in this period at least, close to being a Man Without Qualities. It was already well known, after all, that for most of his life he had been little more than a loyal servant in an aristocratic household (that of the fabulously wealthy Esterhazy family). When public fame came in the 1790s of Paris and London, he was elderly by the standards of the day...almost a relic from another age. And so the figure emerged of "Papa" Haydn: not a stern patriarch, but something much more homely: the composer of repertoire choral works and a few symphonies and quartets; the man who made the eternal Mozart and the sublime Beethoven possible, but who in the process seemed to fade into the shadows.

1 Symphony No. 92 in G, (‘Oxford’, Mvt 4: Presto)
CD 1 1 Symphony No. 92 in G, (‘Oxford’, Mvt 4: Presto) That music was written by a man at the very height of his powers. It was first played in England as part of the three-day-long celebrations which surrounded the awarding of a doctorate to its composer by Oxford University. From that point onward the man in question could call himself, and indeed liked to call himself, Doctor Joseph Haydn. And he had good reason to relish the title. He’d come a long way. As he stood, honoured and (by his own account) embarrassed in his flowing Oxford robes, he could have claimed, on the eve of his sixtieth year, to be the most successful, the richest, the most famous composer in the world. But his innate modesty wouldn't allow him to. He was, as others saw him anyway, a rather simple man, and one who, like another great composer, Bach, attributed the fruits of his genius to unremitting hard work and a boundless faith in the benevolence of the almighty. Indeed almost everything he wrote was formally designated as being consecrated to the glory of God. He was born, in all likelihood, on April Fool's Day, 1732, though it may have been the day before. In any case he nourished all his life a taste for jokes which earned him, at various times, both fame and notoriety. His father was a wheelwright and wagon-builder in a small village near the border between Austria and Hungary, and his mother was a cook at the local manor house.

“How Do You Do?” Vivid Correspondence Spurs Ground-Breaking Quartets by Haydn and Mozart
Issue 5 The Official Publication of the Diderot String Quartet September 24, 2015 “How Do You Do?” Vivid Correspondence Spurs Ground-Breaking Quartets by Haydn and Mozart Vienna, Austria – Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), those two colossal musical ﬁgures of the late 18th century whose footprints remain stamped upon mainstream awareness over 200 years after their deaths, were pals. There likely was an element of mentorship to their interactions – the former composer, dubbed 'Papa Haydn' by Mozart and others, being almost 24 years older than the latter – but the two composers enjoyed a friendship that was unusually casual and intimate for two gentlemen so generationally distinct from each other. Some of the composers' acquaintances testify that the two even addressed each other with familiar pronouns ('du' instead of 'Sie'). Powdered wigs must have spun over such linguistic irreverence! Although an early encounter has not been documented, it's possible that Haydn and Mozart met in person before Mozart set up camp in Vienna, for good, in 1782. Mozart had visited Vienna in the years before his move there; and Haydn spent his winters in Eisenstadt, which lay a manageable 40-or- so miles away. The two likely never met, though, Best Friends Forever? Haydn and Mozart. until a concert in Vienna in December of 1783 that featured works by both composers. string quartet output was seriously inﬂuenced by the Haydn heard these pieces performed (and perhaps Haydn and Mozart both were sensationally revolutionary work of Papa Haydn.
