  • Listening Program Script I
    Non-Directed Music Listening Program Series I Non-Directed Music Listening Program Script Series I Week 1 Composer: Manuel de Falla (1876 – 1946) Composition: “Ritual Fire Dance” from “El Amor Brujo” Performance: Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy Recording: “Greatest Hits of The Ballet, Vol. 1” CBS XMT 45658 Day 1: This week’s listening selection is titled “Ritual Fire Dance”. It was composed by Manuel de Falla. Manuel de Falla was a Spanish musician who used ideas from folk stories and folk music in his compositions. The “Ritual Fire Dance” is from a ballet called “Bewitched By Love” and describes in musical images how the heroine tries to chase away an evil spirit which has been bothering her. Day 2: This week’s feature selection is “Ritual Fire Dance” composed by the Spanish writer Manuel de Falla. In this piece of music, de Falla has used the effects of repetition, gradual crescendo, and ostinato rhythms to create this very exciting composition. Crescendo is a musical term which means the music gets gradually louder. Listen to the “Ritual Fire Dance” this time to see how the effect of the ‘crescendo’ helps give a feeling of excitement to the piece. Day 3: This week’s featured selection, “Ritual Fire Dance”, was written by the Spanish composer Manuel de Falla in 1915. Yesterday we mentioned how the composer made use of the effect of gradually getting louder to help create excitement. Do you remember the musical term for the effect of gradually increasing the volume? If you were thinking of the word ‘crescendo’ you are correct.

  • Wolfgang Amadè Mozart Symphony No. 29 in a Major, K. 201 Joaquín
    Wolfgang Amadè Mozart Symphony No. 29 in A major, K. 201 Wolfgang Amadè Mozart (he never used “Amadeus” except when making a joke) was born in Salzburg, Austria in 1756 and died in Vienna in 1791. He composed this symphony in 1774 and it was first performed in Salzburg shortly thereafter. The score calls for 2 oboes, 2 horns, and strings. ***** Mozart composed this symphony after he and his father returned to Salzburg from a ten-week stay in Vienna. Leopold was still looking for an appropriate post for his teenage son, but Mozart the younger was more interested in hearing the latest from Haydn, the only composer he would ever acknowledge as greater than he. No post was forthcoming—nor would it be—but Mozart voraciously consumed all the Haydn he could, especially the late quartets. These were a major influence on Mozart’s rapidly-maturing symphonic style, and you can hear it throughout the A-major Symphony. There is more imitative writing, an increase in counterpoint, and a new level of balance and formal coherence—things that were Haydn’s stock in trade. It is astonishing to realize that at age 18 Mozart was already better than most other composers would ever get. The A-major Symphony may lack the depth and breadth of Mozart’s finest late works, but it seems miraculous that its technical mastery and expressiveness could have come from the pen of a teenager. The first movement’s main tune, an octave drop followed by an ascending sequence of 8th-notes, is one of the most memorable Mozart ever wrote.
