MUSICAL ELEMENTS OF THE CLASSICAL STYLE
ELEMENTS DESCRIPTIONS
MELODY Lyrical melody; symmetrical melody in balance phrases and cadences; tuneful;
diatonic, with narrow leaps
RHYTHM Clear rhythmically, with regularly recurring accents; dance rhythms favored
HARMONY Diatonic harmony; tonic-dominant relationship expanded, became basis for large-
scale forms
TEXTURE Homophonic textures; chordal-vertical perspective
INSTRUMENTAL
Symphony, solo concerto, solo sonata, string quartet, other chamber
GENRES
music genres (ensemble music for 2 to about 10 performers, with 1
player per part)
VOCAL GENRES Opera Seria (serious opera) and Buffa (Comedic Opera), Mass, oratorio
FORMS Ternary form predominant; sonata-allegro form
DYNAMICS Continuously changing dynamics through crescendo and decrescendo TIMBRE
Changing tone colors between sections of works

The multimovement cycle of the Classical masters, as found in their symphonies, sonatas,

IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE CLASSICAL PERIOD
• Classical Period is called the “Age of Reason”

• Cultural life was dominated by the aristocracy, during that time most of the members of the
nobility would financially support the musicians.
• Classical concepts include restraint, clarity, objectivity, balance, and conformity which
resulted in an impersonal and relatively unemotional style.

D.Pagtatalakay: (Discussion/Abstraction/ Lesson Proper)

In the middle of the 18 th century, Europe began to move toward a new style in architecture,
literature, and the arts known as Classicism. In Western history, people have looked back to
Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations to inspire the art of their own time. One of those
times was music's Classical Period, a part of music history that lasted from the mid-18th
century to the early 19th century. Music wasn't the only art form to find inspiration in
Ancient Greece and Rome. In an artistic movement called neoclassicism (that means 'new
classicism'), painters, sculptors, and architects were also finding inspiration in the forms
and subjects of Greco-Roman culture.
In the early 18th century, a style called rococo was popular, first in France, and then
throughout Europe. Rococo style was all about soft, pastel colors, curving shapes, and
subjects

that were entertaining and sensual rather than serious. In the mid-18th century, French
artists were getting tired of rococo, which they considered frivolous.

DIFFERENT ART FORM IN CLASSICAL ERA

PAINTING OPERA SCULPTURE ARCHITECTURE

photo credit: Interlude, 2011 Photo credit:


Theaterdesk,2018 photo credit: Interlude, 2011 photo credit: Interlude, 2011
In Mozart’s opera “The Abduction from the Seraglio”, the action starts in the evening with
the abduction and ends 24 hours later with the celebration banquet. In sculpture, for
example, figures would again imitate their Roman and Greek models – here Thorvaldson’s
Three Graces shows the figures enclosed in the ‘Classical triangle’ – a measured space that
totally contains them.
Architectural thinking became the greatest concern of these composers. Whereas contrast is
the essence of Classical music – a contrast of dynamics, music shifting back and forth from
forte to piano– the contrast of register with wide-ranging melodies and wide spaces between
base and soprano – the contrast of mood, even within one movement of a work, the Classical
style of music is always conceived as an architectural entity. The order, balance, structure,
and harmony reflected in these buildings’ architecture became themes broadly used in all
artistic expressions. Classical structures deliberately reintroduced the classical proportions
of the Greek orders, the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, but, in contrast to the Baroque, used
them for architectural strength rather than ornamentation. The order, balance, structure, and
harmony reflected in these buildings’ architecture became themes broadly used within all
artistic expressions.
Opera is a musical-dramatic work in which actors sing some or all their parts; a union of
music, drama, and spectacle, with music, normally playing a dominant role. Two kinds of
Opera:
1. Opera Seria- a serious opera like the opera inherited from the Baroque period whose
themes are Greek heroes, God, and goddesses.
Opera Buffa – a comic opera, full of fun, silly, and not serious.
Other opera forms are opera comique (France), ballad opera (18th-century English comic
opera), singspiel (Germany).
This opera makes use of spoken dialogue, and the music is less profound.

Most Popular Instruments in Classical Music
1. The Strings
The string family’s most common instruments include the violin, the viola, the cello,
and the double bass. Playing string instruments is done by plucking, striking, and
drawing a bow made of wood and horsehair across them
2. The Woodwinds
Instruments in this family in order of descending general tone include the flute,
piccolo, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and finally the saxophone.
3. The Percussion Family
Instruments in this category produce sound in three ways; hitting, shaking, or scraping.
Instruments in the percussion family include the castanets, rattles, maracas, gong,
chimes, marimba, timpani, xylophone, bass drum, cymbals, and snare drum 4. The
Brass
The instruments in this family comprise long tubes which widen towards the end to
form a bell-like shape. To change the tune, the instrument player changes his lip’s
opening and stiffness, on the mouthpiece to produce a variation in pitch. The trumpet,
trombone, bass trombone, French horn, and tuba are the instruments in the brass family.

1. How did you find the activity?


2. Do you love and enjoy singing?
3. How about writing a song, is there anyone who has a talent or skill in writing lyrics
of a song?
4. What do you think are the tips for writing a song?

D.Pagtatalakay: (Discussion/Abstraction/ Lesson Proper)

Here are five tips for writing song lyrics:


1. Start with what you want to say.
The first tip when learning how to write lyrics for a song is get familiar with
journaling and using your senses. Taste, touch, sight, sound, smell, and movement
are descriptors that help bring your listener into an experience of a small moment.
2. Read lyrics from other artists (don’t listen to the songs!).
Notice how much repetition, simple language, and how clean and clear is the main
message in the chorus. What message do you want your listener to walk away from
the song knowing? This is your chorus. What small moment shows a great example
of that main message? This is your first verse.
3. Notice the conversational quality.
Write as you speak. We tell stories from our lives and have meaningful conversations
with friends. But for some reason as soon as we start lyric writing, we believe those
skills are not enough. We get obscenely abstract and poetic; we contort the language to
get our rhymes to fall at the ends of the lines even when the content no longer makes
sense. But keep in mind that the most important quality of a great lyric is authenticity.
4. Lengthy lyrics compound problems.
Try writing a simple verse (such as four or six lines) moving into a chorus with lots of
repetition. Or try starting a song with the chorus. Simplicity is hard to master but worth
pursuing. The longer a lyric becomes, the greater the potential for confusion.
5. Collaborate with family members or any person within your reach. Present
your work to others, for improvement of your composition. They might also have
good ideas without totally changing your own work.
STEPS FOR ADDING MELODY TO YOUR LYRICS
1. Read your lyrics aloud several times. Try saying them at different tempos. Find and
enjoy the basic rhythm of your words.
2. For every line of lyric, write a number from 1 to 10 that corresponds to the emotional
value of the line. For example, if the line is a simple descriptive line, such as, “I felt
the sun shining down on me”, you might assign it a value of 1 or 2. A line like,
“You gave me comfort as you held my hand…” might get a value of 5 or 6. A line
like, “The fire in my heart burns only for you” might get an 8 or 9.
3. For every verse or section of lyrics, write the 2 or 3 words that hold the most
emotional value. These should be the words that seem to jump out as being the
kind that would get an audience’s attention.
4. For every verse or section of lyric, find the one word that seems to serve as a
climactic point: a word for which you might say, “That’s what this verse really is
all about”. Circle that word.
5. Give a tune by singing your lyrics.
6. Start reciting your poem to that tune and think about the inherent rhythm of your
words. For accented syllables, you may want to hold those words longer. Make
sure that the natural pulse of your words comes through. You’re not really creating
a melody here yet; you’re just transitioning your brain from thinking of your words
as poetry to thinking of them as lyrics.
7. Start singing your lyric again, this time changing the starting note of each line by
considering the emotional value you assigned to each line of text. If you give your
line a value of 1-3, start on a low tonic. If you gave it a 4-6, start on the 3rd above
it. If you gave the line a 7-8, start on a dominant note. And if your line is very
emotional (9 or 10), start singing on the upper tonic note. As before, move your
note up or down to make it fit as you play through your progression.
8. Create melodic leaps by considering the emotional words you listed in Step 3. When
you sing those words, allow your voice to leap upward.
9. Create a climactic high point by considering the emotional word you listed in Step 4.
The focal point of your lyric might work well by allowing it to be one of the highest
notes in your song.

SUMMARY OF THE LESSON
In the previous lesson, you were able to learn the elements of music which are the a.
melody (pitch variation) which may be simple, tuneful, or complex, b. tempo (speed),
either fast or slow, c. texture (thickness of sound) which has 3 types; monophonic-one
melody, homophonic-one melody plus one supporting sound, and polyphonic with 2 or
more melodies, and 4. dynamics (loudness of sound).
You also encountered names of famous composers of this period. They are: 1. Franz
Joseph Haydn- is one of the most well-known composers of the Classical period. He
was called the” Father of Symphony” because he was able to compose about 100
symphonies. Most of his symphonies are the “Surprise Symphony”, “The Clock”, and
“The Military”.
2. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart- The most astounding genius in musical history and he
composed over 700 musical works. He also composed concertos, symphonies, and
operas
such as “The Marriage of Figaro”, “Don Giovanni”, and “The Magic Flute”. His other
known works: Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Symphony No.40 in G major, and Sonata
No.11 in A major K 311.
3. Ludwig Van Beethoven- is a gifted pianist and composer. His known symphonies
are Symphony No.3 (Eroica), No.5, No.6 (Pastoral), No.9 (choral) which add voices to
the orchestra.

Classical music is still played until this time. It is used by many to calm down and
meditate. It is even played to relax a patient’s mind. That is the benefit that music can
give people. But music has different characteristics in its tempo, rhythm, texture,
melody, dynamics, and the like making it unique from the other. Just listen to the music
that suits you and pleasing to your ears.
Listening to classical music might not be your choice because most of you would rather
sing songs or listen to music on your kind of interest which for you would give
enjoyment and would make you feel good but unknowingly listening and viewing
videos to Classical Instrumental Music you will be amazed how it’s done. I am sure
you will learn to love Classical Music.
