Lesson: Classical Music

TEXT 1: Classical Music

The word Classical has strong connotations, conjuring up the art and philosophy ofAncient Greece and Rome along with their ideals of

balance, proportion and disciplined expression. The lateBaroque stylewaspolyphonically complex and melodically ornate. The composers of

the early Classical period changed direction, writing music that was muchsimpler intexture.It is in some ways ironic that two of J.S. Bach's

Children, Carl Philipp Emanuel (C.P.E.) and Johann Christian (J.C.), were

among the leaders of this new artistic movement. Their father had been

the greatest master of the highBaroque style, and it was his children who

made that style obsolete.

Homophony--music in whichmelody and accompaniment are

distinct--dominated the Classical style, and new forms of composition

were developed to accommodate the transformation.Sonata form is by

far the most important of theseforms,and one that continued to evolve

throughout the Classical period. Although Baroque composers also wrote

pieces called sonatas, the Classical sonata was quite different.The essence of the Classicalsonata is conflict. A highly simplified example

of such a conflict might be between two themes of contrasting character.

This contrast would be intensified during the course of the sonata, then

finally resolved. In some ways, there is a resemblance to the skeleton of a

play: we meet characters, a conflict is developed and finally a resolution

reached. Sonata form allowed composers to give pureinstrumental music

a recognizable dramatic shape. Every majorinstrumental form of the

Classical era, including the string quartet,symphony andconcerto was

molded on the dramatic structure of thesonata.

One of the most important developments of the Classical period is the

growth of the public concert. Although the aristocracy would continue to

play a significant role in musical life, it was now possible forcomposers to

survive without being the employee of one person or family. This also

meant that concerts were no longer limited to palace drawing rooms.

Composers started organizing concerts featuring their own music, and

often attracted large audiences. The increasing popularity of the public

concert had a strong impact on the growth of theorchestra.Althoughchamber music and solo works were played in the home or other intimate

settings,orchestral concerts seemed to be naturally designed for big

public spaces. As a result, symphonic music (includingopera and

oratorio) became more extroverted in character. Composers gradually

expanded the size of theorchestra to accommodate this expanded

musical vision.

TEXT 2: Orchestra

An orchestrais a largeinstrumental ensemble that contains sections of string,brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The term orchestraderives fromtheGreek , the name for the area in front of anancient Greek

stage reserved for theGreek chorus.The orchestra grew by accretion throughoutthe 18th and 19th centuries, but changed very little in composition during thecourse of the 20th century.

A smaller-sized orchestra for this time period (of about fifty players or fewer) iscalled a chamber orchestra. A full-size orchestra (about 100 players) may

sometimes be called a "symphony orchestra" or "philharmonic orchestra";these modifiers do not necessarily indicate any strict difference in eithertheinstrumental constitution or role of the orchestra, but can be useful todistinguish different ensembles based in the same city (for instance, theLondonSymphony Orchestra and theLondon Philharmonic Orchestra). A symphonyorchestra will usually have over eighty musicians on its roster, in some cases overa hundred, but the actual number of musicians employed in a particularperformance may vary according to the work being played and the size of thevenue. A leading chamber orchestra might employ as many as fifty musicians;some are much smaller than that. Orchestras can also be found in schools. The

term concert orchestramay sometimes be used (e.g.,BBC ConcertOrchestra;RT Concert Orchestra)no distinction is made on size of orchestra byuse of this term, although their use is generally distinguished as for live concert. Assuch they are commonly chamber orchestras.

Instrumentation

The typical symphony orchestra consists of four proportionate groups ofsimilarmusical instruments called thewoodwinds,brass,percussion,andstrings,

and also the fifth proportionate group of similar musical instruments like therhythmsection in modern times. The orchestra, depending on the size, contains almost allof the standard instruments in each group. In the history of the orchestra, itsinstrumentation has been expanded over time, often agreed to have beenstandardized by the classical period and Beethoven's influence on the classicalmodel.

Beethoven's influence

The so-called "standard complement" of double winds and brass in the orchestrafrom the first half of the 19th century is generally attributed to the forces called forbyLudwig van Beethoven.The exceptions to this are hisSymphony No. 4,Violin

Concerto,andPiano Concerto No. 4,which each specify a singleflute.Thecomposer's instrumentation almost always included paired flutes, oboes,clarinets, bassoons, horns and trumpets. Beethoven carefully calculated theexpansion of this particular timbral "palette" in Symphonies 3, 5, 6, and 9 for aninnovative effect. The third horn in the"Eroica" Symphony arrives to provide notonly some harmonic flexibility, but also the effect of "choral" brass in the Trio.Piccolo, contrabassoon, and trombones add to the triumphal finale ofhisSymphony No. 5.A piccolo and a pair of trombones help deliver storm and

sunshine in theSixth.TheNinth asks for a second pair of horns, for reasons similarto the "Eroica" (four horns has since become standard); Beethoven's use ofpiccolo, contrabassoon, trombones, and untuned percussionpluschorus andvocal soloistsin his finale, are his earliest suggestion that thetimbral boundariesof "symphony" might be expanded for good. But for several decades after his

departure, symphonicinstrumentationwas faithful to Beethoven's well-established model, with few exceptions.

Expanded instrumentation

Apart from the core orchestral complement, various other instruments are called foroccasionally. These include theclassicalguitar,heckelphone,flugelhorn,cornet,harpsichord,andorgan.Saxophones,forexample, appear in a limited range of 19th and 20th century scores. Whileappearing only as featured solo instruments in some works, for exampleMauriceRavel's orchestration ofModest Mussorgsky'sPictures at an ExhibitionandSergeiRachmaninoff'sSymphonic Dances,the saxophone is included in other works,

such as Ravel'sBolro,Prokofiev'sRomeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2,VaughanWilliamsSymphony No.6 andSymphony No.9 andWilliam Walton'sBelshazzar'sFeast,and many other works as a member of the orchestral ensemble.Theeuphonium is featured in a few lateRomantic and20th century works, usuallyplaying parts marked "tenor tuba", includingGustav Holst'sThe Planets,andRichard Strauss'sEin Heldenleben.TheWagner tuba,a modified member ofthehorn family, appears inRichard Wagner's cycleDer Ring des Nibelungenandseveral other works byRichard Strauss,Bla Bartk,and others; it has aprominent role inAnton Bruckner'sSymphony No. 7 in E Major.[5]Cornets appearinPyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's balletSwan Lake,Claude Debussy'sLa Mer,andseveral orchestral works byHector Berlioz.Unless these instruments are played bymembers doubling on another instrument (for example, a trombone playerchanging to euphonium for a certain passage), orchestras willusefreelance musicians to augment their regular rosters.

The 20th century orchestra was far more flexible than its predecessors.[6]Duringcomposers Beethoven andFelix Mendelssohn's time, the orchestra was composedof a fairly standard core of instruments which was very rarely modified. As timeprogressed, and as the Romantic period saw changes in accepted modificationwith composers such as Berlioz, followed byJohannes Brahms andeventuallyGustav Mahler,the 20th century saw that instrumentation couldpractically be hand-picked by the composer.

Lesson: Classic Rock

TEXT: The Beatles

The Beatleswere the most influential popular music group of therock era . Theyaffected the post-warbaby boom generation ofBritain , theUnited States andmany other countries during the1960s . Certainly they are the most popular groupin rock history, with global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records.

While they were originally famous for what some labeled light-weight pop music(and the extreme hysterical reaction they received from young women), their laterworks achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unequaled inthe20th century . Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branchingout into film and particularly in the case ofJohn Lennon political activism.They achieved an iconic status withfar reaching effects .

The classic Beatles lineup consisted ofJohn Lennon (guitar),(James) PaulMcCartney (bass),George Harrison (guitar), andRingo Starr (Richard Starkey)(drums), all fromLiverpool , Merseyside, inEngland .

The Beatles' original bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe, left the band in 1962 so he couldstay in Hamburg, Germany (where The Beatles had played a long engagement),and marry Astrid Kirchherr (who took many stylish photographs of The Beatlesduring their stay in Hamburg). Original drummerPete Best was asked to leave thegroup just before it started recording at EMI Studios in January, 1963, and wasquickly replaced byStarr .

Beatlemaniabegan in Britain on13 October 1963 with a televised appearance attheLondon Palladium , and then exploded in the United States following three

appearances of the Beatles onThe Ed Sullivan Show,on9 February ,16February , and23 February 1964. The pop-music band became a worldwidephenomenon with worshipful fans, hysterical adulation, and denunciations byculture commentators and others such asFrank Sinatra.Some of this criticismarose from confusion over the sources of their music (a similar confusion was

evinced in 1956 overElvis Presley by commentators who were unaware of thetradition ofblues ,R&B , andGospel out of which Presley emerged), and some ofit was simply an incredulous reaction to the length of their hair. At any rate, it wasregarded by the band members with both awe and resentment.

CLASSIC ROCK BANDS
