SUBJECT: MUSIC GRADING PERIOD: SECOND
TOPIC: MUSIC OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD (1750-1820) WEEK: (JANUARY 4-8, 2020)
STAGE 1: BEGINNING WITH THE END IN MIND
You are about to explore and discover the musical elements of Classical Period. At the end of this
lesson, you are expected to recognize the elements of the given Classical music and show appreciation for
Classical music through listening.
The initial three periods of Western Music History are Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque. Every
period has its particular trademark, historical, and cultural backgrounds.
Those three eras witnessed the creation of a number of musical genres which would maintain a hold
on composition for years to come, yet it was the Classical Period which saw the introduction of a form which
has dominated instrumental composition to the present day: sonata form. With it came the development of
the modern concerto, symphony, sonata, trio and quartet to a new peak of structural and expressive
refinement.
Your Expected Outputs (EOs) for this module includes written outputs (30%) of paperwork of the
descriptions of the musical style and characteristics of the Classical Period and values you can derived from
the stories or lives of the three composers in the Classical era; and performance tasks (70%) which include
making an artwork about music of the classical period.
This module was designed based on the following learning competencies:
• Describes musical elements of given Classical period pieces; MU9CL-iia-f-1
• Explains the performance practice (setting, composition, role of composers/performers, and
audience) during Classical Period. MU9CL-iia-f-3
• Relates Classical music to other art forms and its history within the era; MU9CL-iia-f-2
• Improvises appropriate accompaniment to selected music from Classical Period. MU9CL-iie-9
• Performs selected music from the Classical period; MU9CL-iib-h-7

Lecture 1b: CHARACTERISTICS AND INSTRUMENTS DURING THE CLASSICAL PERIOD
Characteristics of Classical Music
1. Less complicated texture than Baroque (more homophonic).
2. Emphasis on beauty, elegance and balance.
3. More variety and contrast within a piece than Baroque (dynamics, instruments, pitch, tempo, key,
mood and timbre).
4. Melodies tend to be shorter than those in Baroque, with clear-cut phrases, and clearly marked
cadences.
5. The orchestra increases in size and range. The harpsichord fails out of use. The woodwind becomes
a self-contained section.
6. The piano takes over as main keyboard instrument.
7. Importance was given to instrumental music – sonata, trio, string quartet, symphony, concerto.
8. Sonata form was the most important design.
Sonata
It is a multi-movement work for solo instrument. Sonata came from the word “Sonare” which means
to make a sound. This term is applied to a variety of works for solo instrument such as keyboard or violin.
There are 3 movements in Sonata:
1st Movement: Allegro-fast movement
2nd Movement: Andante-slow movement
3rd Movement: Minuet-it is in three-four time and in a moderate or fast tempo

The Austrian composer Franz Joseph Haydn (1732 – 1809) was one of the most
important figures in the development of the Classical style of music during the 18th
century. He helped establish the forms and styles for the string quartet and symphony.
Haydn was a prolific composer, and some of his most well-known works are Symphony
No. 92 in G Major, Emperor Quartet, and Cello Concerto No. 2 in D Major. His
compositions are often characterized as light, witty, and elegant. The movie hit “Bird
Box” features his composition Piano Sonata No. 47 in B Minor.
Haydn had a hard childhood. At six years old he had to work as a boy singer in a choir. After his voice
broke, he had to earn his money by playing dance music and serving as a butler. Becoming famous for his
compositions Haydn was employed as "Kapellmeister" by Fuerst Esterhazy in Eisenstadt in 1761. For thirty
years he served him and composed his pieces for the pleasure of the aristocrats; musicians used to call him
"Papa Haydn" as he was caring for them and was socially engaged. After the death of Esterhazy, Haydn
moved to Vienna leaving it only twice for London where he composed his "London symphonies".

The German composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827) is widely
regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived. He started learning piano around the
age of 4; taught by his father. He had a natural gift, and got good quickly. He expanded
the Classical traditions of Joseph Haydn, one of his teachers, and Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart and experimented with personal expression, a characteristic that influenced the
Romantic composers who succeeded him.
His life and career were marked by progressive deafness, yet the malady did not
prevent him from composing some of his most important works during the last 10 years
of his life when he was nearly unable to hear. Widening the scope of sonata, symphony,
concerto, and quartet, Beethoven’s notable works include Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, Symphony
No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67, Moonlight Sonata, and Für Elise.
The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804 and
1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music and one of the most frequently played
symphonies, and it is widely considered one of the cornerstones of western music. It is being played in
cartoon movies like Tom and Jerry.

Beethoven started going deaf, when he was around 30 years old (1796). Although he could no
longer hear well enough to play the piano, this did not become a hindrance and he continued composing
with the help of an assistant and hearing gadget. Some of the compositions he made when he was deaf
became famous.
Questions:
Can disability hinder someone’s talent/ wants in life? Why/Why not? Explain.

“Mona Lisa” stems from a description with the aid of Renaissance art historian Giorgio
Vasari, who wrote, “Leonardo undertook to paint for Francesco del Giocondo the
portrait of Mona Lisa, his wife.” Mona, in Italian, is a well-mannered structure of
address originating as Madonna- similar to Ma’am, madamme, or My Lady in English.
This grew to become Madonna and its contraction Mona. The title of the painting,
although traditionally spelled “Mona”, is also generally spelled in Modern Italian as
“Monna Lisa”.
“Monalisa”
by Leonardo da Vinci
3. Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael) (1483-1520)
Raphael used to be an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance period. His work was
admired for its readability of structure and ease of composition and for its visible fulfillment of the decoding
the Divine and incorporating Christian doctrines. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he
shaped the common trinity of superb masters of that period. His fundamental contributions to art have been
his special draftsmanship and compositional skills. His famous works were: The Sistine Madonna, The School
of Athens, and The Transfiguration.
The Transfiguration was once Raphael’s remaining painting on which he labored
on up to his death. Commissioned by way of Cardinal Giulio de Medici, the late Pope
Clement VII, the portray was once conceived as an altarpiece for the Narbonne Cathedral
in France. The painting exemplifies Raphael’s development as an artist and the
culmination of his career. The challenge is combined with an additional episode from the
Gospel in the decrease part of the painting.
