The initial three periods of Western Music History are named as Medieval,
Renaissance, and Baroque. Every period has its particular trademark, historical, and
cultural backgrounds.
These 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.
The classical age was sown by lots of composers whose names are now forgotten
such as Schubert and Honnauer (both Germans largely active in Paris), as well as more
historically respected names, including Gluck, Boccherini and at least three of Johann
Sebastian Bach's sons: Carl Phillip Emmanuel, Wilhelm Friedmann and Johann Christian
(the so-called 'London' Bach). They were representative of a period which is variously
described as rococo or galante, the former implying a gradual move away from the artifice of
the High Baroque, the latter an entirely novel style based on symmetry and sensibility, which
came to dominate the music of the latter half of the 18th century through two composers of
extraordinary significance: Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Classical music has a lighter, clearer texture than Baroque music and is less
complex. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line over a subordinate chordal
accompaniment.
What’s New
In the case of music, as in other arts, the term ‘classical’ indicates the presence of an
established or long-standing tradition. While the roots of classical music extend back to
Gregorian chant, three developments occurring in the 11 th century are often regarded as
marking the beginning of the classical tradition in western music. Vast majority of
compositions in Western art music unambiguously fall under the category of ‘classical
music’, one can argue that, though there will be no decisive line, certain highly experimental
or innovative pieces cannot be a part of an established tradition of composition and thus
should not be considered ‘classical’.
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.
Musical compositions of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven are still popular today. These
are often used as music in animated movies, cartoons, and large group of movie companies.
What I Can Do
Activity 1:
Choose any of the following Western Music periods from our previous lesson
(Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque) and compare it to the Music of Classical Period using
a Venn Diagram.
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.

What’s In
Pre-Assessment:
I. Match the term being described and write the correct letter on a separate
sheet of paper.
Example:
Allegro Andante
Vivace
The most important form that was developed during the classical era consists
of 3 distinct sections: Exposition, Development, and Recapitulation.
Examples: “Eine Klein Nachtmusik” -by W. A. Mozart
Exposition- is the first part of a composition in sonata form that introduces the
theme.
Development- is the middle part of the sonata-allegro form where in theme is being
developed.
Recapitulation- repeats the themes as they first emerge in the opening exposition.
Concerto - is completely musical or instrumental in nature played with one solo instrument
that is accompanied by a small (ensemble) or a large group of orchestras. It is a multi-
movement work designed for an instrumental soloist and orchestra. It is a classical form of
music intended primarily to emphasize the individuality of the solo instrument and to exhibit
the virtuosity and interpretative abilities of the performer. The solo instrument classical
concerts include violin, cello, clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, horn, and piano. A concerto has
three movements: fast, slow, and fast.
3 movements:
1st Movement: Fast: Sonata-allegro form with expositions of the orchestra and then
by soloist
2nd Movement: Slow: Has more ornamentation than the First movement.
3rd Movement: Fast, Finale: Usually in a form of rondo, resembling the last
movement of the symphony and usually a short cadenza is used.
Listen to the 1st Movement of the “Emperor” concerto by Beethoven. Note that the
piano here is the piano. piano concerto no.5 emperor in eb major op.73

What is It
Classical Opera
Opera is a drama set to music where singers and musicians perform in a
theatrical setting. The two distinct styles of opera, Opera Seria and Opera Buffa,
were developed during the Classical Period. The Opera Seria (Serious opera)
usually implies heroic or tragic drama that employs mythological characters, which
was inherited from the Baroque period. “Idomeneo” by Mozart is an example of
Opera Seria. The Opera Buffa (comic opera) from Italy made use of everyday
characters and situations, and typically employed spoken dialogues, lengthy arias
and was spiced with sight gags, naughty humor and social satire. “The Marriage of
Figaro,” “Don Giovanni, and “The Magic Flute” are examples of popular Opera Buffa
by Mozart.
