The Ninth Symphony
Beethoven launched a new gem
Voice with orchestra.
| |
Handel in London
He left his native nation
Johann Bach remained.
|
Baroque no pause form
Horizontal music style
Played for king and all.
| |
Buxtehude taught
To Johann Sebastian Bach
Wonderful upgrade.
|
Bach certainly felt
All his notes bound for heaven
Thus inspired music
| |
Wrote one piece each week
Sung by a church's boys choir
Lunches wrapped with notes.
|
Bach married two wives
Twenty children together
Music and offspring!
| |
Mozart vertical
Locked into a first motif
Style did change so much.
|
Palestrina's notes
Could not produce dissonance
Made god uneasy.
| |
Bruckner wrote pauses
Space for reverberation
Echoes in the church.
|
Tchaikovsky was gay
Much torture to change him back
Music despite all.
| |
With Beethoven's Third
Being deaf he lost his place
No more conducting.
|
'Unanswered Question'
Charles Ives' piece with three tempi
At once. A marvel.
| |
Four symphonies by
Brahms compared to onehundred
Four by J. Haydn.
|
Classical motif
Made well known with Beethoven's
Fifth--the first movement.
| |
Haydn's last pieces
Were composed in London. And
They're most successful.
|
The Twelve Tone system
Created by A. Schoenberg
'Revolutioning'!
| |
Joseph Haydn was
Father of the Symphony
Orchestra--large group!
|
Saint-Saens wrote the piece
Le Carnival des Ani--
Maux with Le Cygne.

Own orchestra when so young
