Topic: Music of the Classical Period

BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
In this module, you will learn the historical and cultural background of the Classical era.
In the history of Western music, the term Classical refers to the period from 1750-1820. During
this time, there were significant changes in musical forms and style distinguishing the music
from those of the previous era. New music forms emerged such as sonata, concerto, and
symphony.

The development of the Sonata led to more large-scale works and other long instrumental
compositions such as symphonies, concertos, and overtures.

In this module, you will also learn of the development of classical opera such as the
Opera Seria and Opera Buffa which became popular among the different social classes.

The life and music of Franz Josef Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Ludwig Van
Beethoven, the three greatest and most famous composers of the Classical era will be
discussed.

In this part of the module, you will be provided with information about the historical
background, instrumental and vocal music, and the great composers of the classical period.

MUSIC OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD (1750 – 1820)

The classical era also called the “Age of reason”, is the period from 1750 – 1820. The
cultural life was dominated by the aristocracy, as patrons of musicians and artists who
generally influenced the arts. Significant changes in musical forms and styles were made.
 In the middle of the 18th century, Europe began to move toward a new style in
architecture, literature, and the arts, known as Classicism. It was also pushed forward by
changes in the economic order and social structure. Instrumental music was patronized
primarily by the nobility.

Important historical events that occurred in the West during this era were the French
revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, and
the American revolution.

The term “classical” denotes conformity with the principles and characteristics of
ancient Greece and Roman literature and art which were formal, elegant, simple, freed, and
dignified. The same characteristics may also describe the melodies of classical music.
Harmony and texture are homophonic in general. The dynamics of loud and soft were clearly
shown through the extensive use of crescendo and diminuendo. A style of broken chord
accompaniment called; AlbertiBass was practiced.

The great composers of the period were: Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart, and Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Sonata, Concerto, and Symphony are the instrumental forms developed during this era
while Opera Seria and Opera Buffa are the two Vocal forms.

Note: Copy and answer activity 1 and activity 2 in your activity notebook.

The music of the classical era is usually associated with nobility. During that time most
of the members of the nobility would financially support the musicians. Music was played in
the courts which make the music of the Classical era more familiar to the nobility than the
lower classes.
This association of the rich and Classical music is still being experienced in some parts
of the world. However, with the dawn of radio and TV, Classical music may now be
experienced by the masses.

Find your way into the heart of the maze to find the words that are related to the classical
period. Copy and answer, write the words in your activity notebook.
