Op.49 No.4 Lullaby
Composer: Johannes Brahms
This piece is one of the most well-known and easily recognizable of all lullabies published in
1868. It was written by Johannes Brahms for his friend Bertha Faber, to commemorate the
birth of her second son. It has been dedicated to the birth of a wonderful child.

Johannes Brahms was born in 1833 in the German city of Hamburg. His father was a
musician who played several instruments. Brahms loved music, too. By the time he was six,
he'd invented his own system for writing notes down on a page. Of course, he took
instrument lessons, learning to play cello, horn, and piano. By the time he was ten, he was
such a good pianist that he performed in public, as part of a chamber music concert. Brahms
May 07, 1833 - April 03, 1897 also loved books and read everything he could find including novels, poetry, and folk tales.

Carnival of the Animals - Royal March of The Lions
Composer: Camille Saint-Saëns
Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8y-KBlDFZOo
"The Carnival of the Animals" ("Le carnaval des animaux") is a musical suite of fourteen
movements, each movement has a different theme of animals by the French Romantic
composer Camille Saint-Saëns. The work was written for private performance by an ad hoc
ensemble of two pianos and other instruments, and lasts around 25 minutes. In this
movement - Marche royale du lion (Royal March of the Lion):The strings provide the melody,
with the pianos occasionally taking low runs of octaves which suggest the roar of a lion, or
high ostinatos. The two groups of instruments switch places, with the pianos playing a
higher, softer version of the melody. The movement ends with a fortissimo (ff) note from all
the instruments used in this movement.

Listening From the New World), Op. 95
https://youtu.be/Yj06uN0Xov8 Composer: Antonín Dvořák
Antonin Dvorak, a nationalistic composer from Czechoslovakia, was lured to New York

in 1892 to the newly founded National Conservatory of Music. He was enthralled by

what he saw as our nationalistic music. He infused the nature of Negro spirituals with

the spirit of Native American Indian tunes into his work. His Symphony No. 9 "From the

New World" was composed during his first year in America and has become one of the

most popular orchestral pieces in classical music.

Listening Symphony No.9 IV movement
'Choral' (Ode To Joy)
excerpt
https://youtu.be/Whn1urlpWvw
movie excerpt Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven
https://youtu.be/Xkj0TeZeZuo
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. His father, who was a singer, was his first

teacher. After a while, even though he was still only a boy, Ludwig became a traveling performer,

and soon, he was supporting his family. In his early twenties, Beethoven moved to Vienna, where

he spent the rest of his life. Beethoven was one of the first composers to make a living without

being employed by the church or a member of the nobility. At first, he was known as a brilliant

pianist. But when he was around 30 years old, Beethoven started going deaf. Even though he

could no longer hear well enough to play the piano, Beethoven composed some of his best music
December 16, 1770 - March 26, 1827
after he was deaf! Beethoven is considered one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived.

He may be most famous for his nine symphonies, but he also wrote many other kinds of music:

chamber and choral music, piano music and string quartets, and an opera.

IF I were Beethoven....
1. How would I feel knowing that I will have hearing lost soon?
(try to cover your ears, communicate with sign language)

2. How would I feel standing on the stage without knowing that I did a
master piece?
Beethoven had steadily lost his hearing while composing Symphony No. 9. By the time of its premiere on May 7,

1824, he lost his hearing completely. The audience applauded thunderously at the end of the performance, but

Beethoven, unable to hear the response, continued to face the chorus and orchestra; a singer finally turned

him around so that he could see evidence of the affirmation that resounded throughout the hall.

About Beethoven....
1. "Ode to Joy" poem in the 4th movement was written by Friedrich von Schiller in
1785. The poem has a strong message to all mankind: it is about living in peace and
harmony together.

2.Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 was the first symphony to incorporate vocal soloists and
chorus

3."Ode to joy" was adopted as the European National Anthem in 1972. In 1985, it
became the official anthem of the European Union.

Listening William Tell Overture - finale
Composer: Gioachino Rossini
Story https://youtu.be/oCIm1JMwjY0 full Symphony https://youtu.be/H_6_71G7xyM
Finale https://youtu.be/YIbYCOiETx0

William Tell premiered in 1829 and was the last of Rossini's 39 operas. According to legend, William

Tell was an expert with a bow and arrow who lived in the mountains of Switzerland. At the time,

Switzerland was under the control of Austria and a nasty ruler named Gessler. Gessler thought he

was so important that the citizens should salute him even when he wasn’t there. So, he put his hat

on a pole in the center of town and commanded the citizens to bow down to it whenever they

passed it. William Tell arrived in town one day with his son and refused to salute the hat. Gessler

was very upset, but instead of killing William Tell right there he challenged him to shoot an apple off

February 29, 1792- November 13, 1868 his son’s head with one shot. If he succeeded, William Tell could remain free. William Tell did shoot

the apple off his son’s head with a single arrow. But Gessler noticed that before he tried, Tell had

taken two arrows out of his quiver and asked why. William Tell answered, “If I had missed, that

second arrow would have been headed your way.” Eventually, William Tell did kill Gessler, an act

that started a Swiss uprising that ultimately forced the Austrian invaders from Switzerland.

Orchestra https://youtu.be/vtAu7xkwNjQ

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was very good at using the instruments of the orchestra

to create pictures and stories. In “Flight of the Bumblebee” he used the string

family to create a musical “bumblebee.” But, this is no ordinary insect—this bee

is really a prince! The Flight of the Bumblebee comes from an opera called The

Tale of Tsar Saltan, which is based on a story by the famous Russian poet

Alexander Pushkin. In the opera's complicated plot, Prince Gvidon is separated

from his father, Tsar Saltan, and ends up ruling an island full of enchanted

objects and animals -- including an enchanted swan, whom the prince marries

once she gets turned back into a princess.

Listening Opera: La Traviata - Drinking Song
Composer: Giuseppe Verdi
Excerpt: https://youtu.be/afhAqMeeQJk
Giuseppe Verdi was born in the Italian town of Le Roncole. When he showed early talent, a music-
loving grocer paid for his music education. Verdi was one of the greatest opera composers who ever
lived, and one of the few composers to die rich and famous!
La Traviata is a tragic love story that takes place in and around Paris, sometime near 1850.Violleta, a
French courtesan with tuberculosis, goes to a friend’s party, and meets Alfredo Germont, who would
later be the love of her life. They’re forced to part by Alfredo’s father, but reunite as Violleta dies.

What is an Opera?
An opera is like a play in which the characters sing all their lines. Opera singers do not use
microphones -- their voices are trained, and can fill a whole theater with sound without any
October 10, 1813 - January 27, 1901 amplification. All operas have solo singers and an orchestra -- and a lot of operas have a chorus, too.

A. Listen to the sound track and check the answers you hear!
1. Do you see opera singers using microphones?

2. Is this song in 3 beats or 4 beats?

3. Do you know where the music is from? Where do musicians play when opera singers sing on stage?

Orchestra pit
An orchestra pit is the area in
a theater (usually located in a lowered
area in front of the stage) in which
musicians perform.

4. Is "Drinking song" in Major or Minor key ? Major Minor

B. Listen carefully and circle what you hear!


1. What chord do you hear? 3. Major or Minor

I V7
4. How many birds do you hear?
2. How many musical lines do you hear?
