No. 13) . Joseph Haydn (Born at Rohrau, Lower Austria, March 31, 1732; died at Vienna, May 31, 1809) Haydn wrote a set of six symphonies for a society in Paris known as the "Concert de la Loge Olympiqne." They were ordered in 1784, when Haydn was living at Esterhaz. Composed in the course of the years 1784-89, they are in C, G minor, E-flat, B-flat, D, A. No. 1, in C, has been entitled "The Bear"; No. 2, in G minor, has been entitled "The Hen" ; and No. 4, in B-flat, is known as "The Queen of France." The symphony played at this concert is the first of a second set, of which five were composed in 1787, 1788, 1790. If the sixth was written, it cannot now be identified. This one in G major was written in 1787, and is "Letter V" in the catalogue of the London Philharmonic Society, No. 13 in the edition of Breitkopf & Hartel, No. 8 in that of Peters, No. 29 in that of Sieber, No. 58 in the list of copied scores of Haydn's symphonies in the library of the Paris Conservatory of Music. This symphony in G major is the first of the second series, and with the second, "Letter W," it was composed in 1787. The others are as follows: the third, "Letter K" (1788) ; the fourth, "The Ox- ford" (1788), so called because it was performed in the Sheldonian A NEW BOOK EXPLAINING THE PROCESSES OF MUSICAL COMPOSITION And Their Use in the Simple Forms of Music By ALFRED HILL "Melodic writing and harmonic study are developed side by side. As soon as tonic and dominant chords have been made familiar, short pieces are written in periods of four or eight measures, which are then combined into the three section song form. Cadences, sequences, imitation, seventh chords, modulation, and chromatic writing follow in due order, all with thorough and yet always lucid explanations and copious illustrations." The Musical Leader. "Mr. Hill ad\fences no new theories in his treatment of the material of music, but he is eminently practical in that from the beginning he shows the student how to use the material in actual composition. With the introduction of each new harmony he shows how to convert it into melody and use it in composition. When the student has finished this book he will know how to use everything in it in writing." DANIEL A. CLIPPINGER in "Musical West." Price $1.50 net THE ARTHUR P.

Doctoral Dissertations. 580. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/580 ABSTRACT The Rise of the Tenor Voice in the Late Eighteenth Century: Mozart’s Opera and Concert Arias Joshua Michael May University of Connecticut, 2014 W. A. Mozart’s opera and concert arias for tenor are among the first music written specifically for this voice type as it is understood today, and they form an essential pillar of the pedagogy and repertoire for the modern tenor voice. Yet while the opera arias have received a great deal of attention from scholars of the vocal literature, the concert arias have been comparatively overlooked; they are neglected also in relation to their counterparts for soprano, about which a great deal has been written. There has been some pedagogical discussion of the tenor concert arias in relation to the correction of vocal faults, but otherwise they have received little scrutiny. This is surprising, not least because in most cases Mozart’s concert arias were composed for singers with whom he also worked in the opera house, and Mozart always paid close attention to the particular capabilities of the musicians for whom he wrote: these arias offer us unusually intimate insights into how a first-rank composer explored and shaped the potential of the newly-emerging voice type of the modern tenor voice.

    «Je Me Figurais Être Orphée», Wrote Countess Sophie Fersen After At- Tending a Performance of Christoph Gluck's Orpheus Oc

    Women in love: Gluck’s Orpheus as a source of romantic consolation in Vienna, Paris, and Stockholm JOHN A. RICE ABSTRACT Among those who witnessed early performances of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice were Princess Isabelle of Parma, Julie de Lespinasse, and Countess Sophie Fersen. Orpheus, and the music Gluck wrote for him, stirred up similar responses in these passionate young women, all of whom found in the protagonist’s tragic plight consolation for own romantic yearning. This paper explores their emotio- nal states, as documented in their letters, and offers some explanations for their identification with a male character from Greek mythology, as brought to life by Gluck’s music and the men who sang it. «Je me figurais être Orphée», wrote Countess Sophie Fersen after at- tending a performance of Christoph Gluck’s Orpheus och Euridice in Stockholm in 1777. She was writing to a man with whom she had been involved in a brief and passionate love affair, and who had just left Sweden. Countess Fersen was not the only young woman who found romantic consolation in Gluck’s Orpheus. Already during the first run of performances in 1762, Princess Isabelle of Parma, recently married to Archduke (later Emperor) Joseph, wrote mournfully to her sister-in-law Marie Christine, whose company she much preferred to Joseph’s. Isabelle identified herself with Orpheus as a way of express- ing the depth and hopelessness of her love. And shortly after the première of the Paris version in 1774, Julie de Lespinasse wrote to her beloved Comte de Guibert, who was far from Paris, that she found a mixture of pain and pleasure in Gluck’s opera: «Je voudrois entendre dix fois par jour cet air qui me déchire, et qui me fait jouir de tout ce que je regrette: j’ai perdu mon Euridice».

    Haydn's Symphony No. 94 'Surprise'

    Haydn’s Symphony IB No. 94 ‘Surprise’ Hanh Doan is a former AST and head of music, and currently works as a part-time music teacher at Beaumont School in Hanh Doan St Albans. She is the author of various books, and writes articles and resources for Music Teacher magazine, exam boards and other music education publishers. Introduction aydn’s ‘Surprise’ Symphony is one of the International Baccalaureate’s prescribed works for 2020-2021 and will feature in the listening paper. Students will have to answer questions about Hthe Symphony in terms of analysis, and if they are students doing music Higher level, they will need to compare elements from this work with the other prescribed work, Rachmaninov’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. This resource will give a detailed analysis of the work by movement, including the notable features of each of the elements. Context Haydn is often regarded as the ‘father of the symphony’, and over the 40 years in which he wrote his 106 symphonies, the nature of the genre changed dramatically, from a work that served a variety of musical and social functions to a genre that would become central to musical life for the next two centuries. Haydn’s output proves he was extraordinary at making this transition, and throughout his career he gradually reshaped the nature of the symphony, providing a model for future composers of the genre. Haydn’s symphonies are often separated into periods of time or places over the course of his career: Ɂ The symphonies for Eisenstadt (1761-5) Ɂ Esterház and the Advent of Sturm und Drang (1766-74) Ɂ The symphonies of 1775-84 Ɂ The Paris symphonies (1785-6) Ɂ The Tost symphonies (1787) Ɂ The symphonies for Comte d’Ogny (1788-9) Ɂ The ‘Salomon’ symphonies (London, 1791-5) Haydn wrote his ‘Surprise’ Symphony in 1791 for a concert series in London during one of his first visits to England.

  • Haydn and Gellert: Parallels in Eighteenth-Century Music and Literature*

    Haydn and Gellert: Parallels in Eighteenth-Century Music and Literature*

    Haydn and Gellert: Parallels in Eighteenth-Century Music and Literature* By David P. Schroeder During the 1780s, Haydn's approach to the symphony underwent a signifi- cant change. While one could look at this change simply as another step in the composer's stylistic development, it is possible that there was an impor- tant cause for transforming the symphony at this time. During the early '80s, Haydn's personal contacts and reading made him very much aware of the tenets' of the Enlightenment. This can be seen in his association with persons such as Franz Sales' von Greiner, Gottfried van Swieten, and Johann Caspar Lavater; by his attendance at literary salons which brought him into contact with Johann Baptist von Alxinger, Aloys Blumauer, Michael Denis, Lorenz Haschka, Tobias Philipp Gebler and Ignaz von Born;! and by his eventual membership in the Masonic Lodge "Zur wahren Eintracht." As a result of these social and literary influences, it is entirely possible that Haydn revised his symphonic approach to bring it into line with the prevailing attitude towards'literature. This attitude, very simply, was that literature should serve the goals of the Enlightenment. To be sure, a symphony has obvious limitations in achieving this aim, but there are, nevertheless, various ways in which it can. One could argue that the most notable change to the symphony in the mid-'80s was its new dramatic intelligibility, and that it is this, along with Haydn's new relationship with his audience, which places his late sym- phonies within the tradition of the Enlightenment. Ifliterature had a bearing on Haydn's symphonic writing, then one must be prepared to say which writers or literary trends influenced him.

Part of the reason for the gap had to do with his burgeoning career in Vienna as a freelancer, which meant giving lots of concerts, which (as we will see) meant writing a lot of piano concertos. But it was also due to Joseph II’s unexpected disbanding of the national singspiel company and its replacement by an Italian opera buffa troupe at court whose regular composers Giovanni Paisiello, Vincente Martìn y Soler, and Antonio Salieri—Italians all (Martìn being a naturalized Spaniard)—had a proprietary interest in freezing out a German rival, especially one as potentially formidable as Mozart. 1 / 4 2011.01.27. 15:29 The “Da Ponte” Operas : Music In The Seventeenth And Eighteenth Cent... http://www.oxfordwesternmusic.com/view/Volume2/actrade-9780195... fig. 9-7 Lorenzo da Ponte, engraving by Michele Pekenino after a painting by Nathaniel Rogers (Mozarteum, Salzburg). Mozart’s letters testify to his difficulty in gaining access to Lorenzo da Ponte (1749–1838, original name Emmanuele Conegliano), the newly appointed poet to the court theater. (There was a certain typically Joseph II symbolism in the fact that a specialist in opera buffa should have been chosen to replace the aged Metastasio, the paragon of the seria , who died in 1782 at the age of 84.) “These Italian gentlemen are very civil to your face,” Mozart complained to his father in 1783.
