  • What Handel Taught the Viennese About the Trombone
    291 What Handel Taught the Viennese about the Trombone David M. Guion Vienna became the musical capital of the world in the late eighteenth century, largely because its composers so successfully adapted and blended the best of the various national styles: German, Italian, French, and, yes, English. Handel’s oratorios were well known to the Viennese and very influential.1 His influence extended even to the way most of the greatest of them wrote trombone parts. It is well known that Viennese composers used the trombone extensively at a time when it was little used elsewhere in the world. While Fux, Caldara, and their contemporaries were using the trombone not only routinely to double the chorus in their liturgical music and sacred dramas, but also frequently as a solo instrument, composers elsewhere used it sparingly if at all. The trombone was virtually unknown in France. It had disappeared from German courts and was no longer automatically used by composers working in German towns. J.S. Bach used the trombone in only fifteen of his more than 200 extant cantatas. Trombonists were on the payroll of San Petronio in Bologna as late as 1729, apparently longer than in most major Italian churches, and in the town band (Concerto Palatino) until 1779. But they were available in England only between about 1738 and 1741. Handel called for them in Saul and Israel in Egypt. It is my contention that the influence of these two oratorios on Gluck and Haydn changed the way Viennese composers wrote trombone parts. Fux, Caldara, and the generations that followed used trombones only in church music and oratorios.

  • Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809)
    Composer Fact Sheets Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) FAST FACTS • Learned music as a choirboy in Vienna • Dismissed from the choir for playing a practical joke on another choir member • Wrote, performed, and organized music and events for Prince Paul Anton Esterházy • Is known for his sense of humor that is very clear in his music Born: 1732 (Rohrau, Austria) Died: 1809 (Vienna, Austria) Joseph Haydn began his long musical career in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, where he successfully auditioned into the choir. In the early 1700s, choirboys received a well-rounded education, so Haydn became proficient at singing, harpsichord, and violin. When he turned 17, his voice changed, so he left the cathedral choir to study music even further, realizing that he had received little training in the fundamentals of music. He studied and mastered music theory, the music of other composers, and took music composition lessons from a famous Italian composer and teacher. Haydn is also rumored to have been dismissed due to a practical joke he played on one of the other members of the choir. After his departure, Haydn struggled to support himself through part-time teaching and even street- serenading. He also performed freelance work for the chapel in Vienna, and filled in as an extra musician at balls that were given for orphaned children. Haydn began to gain a reputation, however, through his independent music studies and performing career. In 1761, Haydn entered the service of Prince Paul Anton Esterházy in Hungary. Haydn was required to compose music at a rapid pace, and to perform his works in concerts weekly, and to assist with chamber music concerts that took place nearly every day.

  • FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732–1809) Symphony No
    FRI MAY 19 — 11 A.M. FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732–1809) Symphony No. 39 (1765) Symphony no. 39 in G minor was described as Sturm und Drang; a term taken from a literary movement named after a play of the same name by Friedrich Maximilian Klinger. The musical language is intensely expressive and full of extreme contrasts. James Webster describes the works of this period as “longer, more passionate, and more daring” and “proto-Romantic.” LISTEN FOR: 1. Allegro assai After a nervous first four measures, there’s a grand pause before we move on, heightening the tension and adding to the sense of unease. Can you hear why this movement was associated with Sturm und Drang? 2. Andante A.P. Brown describes this movement as an elegant, “ingratiating little waltz” for Recommended Recording: strings. It features a lot of rhythmic variation of the main themes, as well as a lot of strong Haydn: Symphonies Volume 5, contrasts in dynamics—which help tie this to the other Sturm und Drang movements. The Academy of Ancient Music, Christopher Hogwood, conducting 3. Menuet & Trio Another study in contrasts: a minor-keyed minuet contrasts with a bright trio in major, featuring high notes for the first horn. 4. Finale A true Sturm und Drang close to the symphony. It opens with a tremolando string accompaniment—quick, repeated notes that seem to tremble and shimmer. GYÖRGY LIGETI (1923–2006) Piano Concerto (1988) The piece was commissioned for pianist Anthony di Bonaventura, who wrote: “When it arrived, I just couldn’t decipher it.” The composer’s autograph score is incredibly dense, with thousands of notes and accidentals crammed into the tiniest spaces.
