The Respect Award

I wish to thank Xena for nominating me for a Respect award. One wonders if one deserves such an honour. However, I have been doing my best, which is perhaps all that one can do.

My posts are, at times, too long and I repeat myself or say something that may seem irrelevant.

I am therefore very grateful for this nomination and wish to congratulate other nominees.

Usually nominations come with rules. If there are rules, I will respect these rules.

Again, I thank you most sincerely.

The West Wind by Tom Thomson (Photo credit: Wikiart.org)

The “West Wind” is a major character in The Song of Hiawatha. It is Mudjekeewis, Hiawatha’s father, presuming he has a father.

In April 2012, I published a post featuring Tom Thomson‘s “West Wind” (1917). The “West Wind” is also a major character in the art of Tom Thomson (5 August 1877 – 8 July 1977). I sense similarities.

Thomson died before the Group of Seven was formed. However, given the subject matter of his paintings, his style as an artist, not to mention his lifestyle, that of a woodsman, he is considered as a precursor to members of the Group of Seven, arguably Canada’s most renowned group of artists. However, his lifestyle and the very title of the painting featured above also suggest cultural kinship with the Amerindians of the Central Woodland, thus identified by Stith Thompson.[1]

Tom Thomson settled in Algonquin Park in 1914, where he worked as a firefighter and guide, but lived in a cabin, devoting most of his time to his art. Thomson died during a canoeing trip. He was only 39. His premature death has served to transform him into a legend. The legend, however, is his art.

Testimonials to a virgin past about to be destroyed for profit are numerous. Climate protected the Central Woodland. It was cold and therefore uninviting to loggers. But ‘improved’ harvesting technologies won the day. The Arctic is melting down.

There’s land left, but too much was harvested in a way that could not allow regrowth. It was harvested in the name of profit, and the prospect of profit numbs reason.

Humans kill. They kill in the name of profit. They also kill in the name of God. They kill.

Manabozho created land and whatever land had been lost to a flood, he created again. Such was his godliness.

Joseph Haydn at Esterháza

12 Tuesday Mar 2013

Austria, Beethoven, England, Haydn, House of Esterházy, Joseph Haydn, Mozart, Vienna

Eszterházy-fertőd

Eszterháza, now Fertőd (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

This post is one of two posts about an unfortunate connection.  More than a century after the Esterházy family had been patrons to Joseph Haydn‘s (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809), an Esterházy, but of a different branch than Haydn’s generous patrons, would commit treason against France, but was protected by the French army.  He retired in 1898 and escaped punishment by feeing to England.

So, although this post is mostly about Haydn and the Esterházy family, I am not focussing on the Joseph Haydn who, with Mozart and Beethoven, is the foremost composer of the Classical period (1730–1820)[i] in the history of western music and the composer best known as the person who “helped establish the forms and styles for the string quartet and the symphony.”[ii]

The Haydn I wish to write about is the musician who, after difficult beginnings, came to the attention of aristocrats: Karl Joseph von Fürnberg, the Bohemian count Ferdinand Maximilian von Morzin (1758) and, in particular, the extremely wealthy Esterházy family, the House of Esterházy, a Magyar family at whose court, first in Eisenstadt and, second, at Esterháza (now Fertöd), Haydn would work for nearly thirty years (from 1761 to 1790).  He was Vice-Kapellmeister to prince Paul II Anton Esterházy de Galántha (22 April 1711 – 18 March 1762) and, a year later, when prince Anton passed away, he became Hofkapellmeister, or music director, to his brother, prince Nikolaus I or Miklós József Esterházy (d. 1790).

Humble beginnings

Let us look at Haydn’s early life.  Haydn was born to a humble family in Rohrau, Austria, a village near the border with Hungary).  He was the son of a wheelwright and his wife Maria, née Koller, who had worked as a cook at the palace of Aloys Thomas Raimund, Count Harrach (7 March, 1669, Vienna – 7 November, 1742, an Austrian politician and diplomat.

It was not possible for Haydn to develop his talent for music in Rohrau.  At the age of six, he was therefore sent to apprentice as a musician at the home of Johann Matthias Frankh, a relative of the Haydn family who lived in Hainburg.  As Frankh’s student, Haydn learned to play the harpsichord and the violin.  But it was as a singer that he was brought to the attention of Georg von Reutter.  At the age of eight, in 1740, Haydn auditioned for Reutter, the director of music at St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, who convinced Joseph’ family to let him take young Joseph and his brother Michael as choirboys at St. Stephen’s.  Haydn was eight years old.  However, at the age of seventeen, he was expelled from the choir.  His voice had changed and he had played a practical joke on another chorister.

Haydn was taken in by Johann Michael Spangler, a musician whose garret he shared, and supported himself with odd musical jobs.  Fortunately, he met Nicola Porpora who gave him a position as accompanist for voice lessons and corrected his compositions.  As a chorister, Haydn had not acquired sufficient knowledge of the theory of music to become a composer.  Matters would change.

Aristocratic Patronage

We have already seen that Haydn first came to the attention of Austrian nobleman Karl Joseph von Fürnberg.  He was a member of Fürnberg’s small orchestra and, during his tenure as Fürnberg’s employee, he wrote his first quartets.  We also know that, in 1758, he was recommended to Bohemian Count Morzin.  (See Ferdinand Maximilian von Morzin, Britannica.)  During the three years Haydn was Kapellmeister to count Morzin, his patron put him in charge of an orchestra of about 16 musicians.  At this point,  Haydn composed his first symphonies.

Later, in c. 1761, when Count Morzin dismissed his musicians, a relatively unknown Haydn was hired by prince Paul II Anton Esterházy de Galántha (22 April 1711 – 18 March 1762), a member of the extremely wealthy Esterházy family.  He worked first at Eisenstadt, earning a yearly salary of 400 florins and, after Prince Anton or Pál Antal passed away, in 1762, his patron would be Nikolaus Esterházy or Miklós József Esterházy, Pál Antal’s brother, in whose employ he would remain for nearly 30 years and whom he followed when the princely family moved to Esterháza (now Fertöd), their Hungarian palace, built in 1762-1766.

The Esterházy Family as Patrons

Prince Nikolaus I was Haydn’s patron until his death in 1790.  His successor dismissed Nikolaus’ court musicians but continued to pay Haydn 400 florins a year, which had been his salary in 1761.  Moreover, Count Nikolaus had left Haydn a pension of 1000 florins.  As well, given that his services were no longer needed, Haydn’s new patron allowed him to travel, which led to an apotheosis in Haydn’s career.

Haydn Duties at Esterháza

At Esterháza, Haydn had onerous duties.  According to Britannica, “while the music director [who was still alive] oversaw church music, Haydn conducted the orchestra and coached the singers in almost daily rehearsals, composed most of the music required, and served as chief of the musical personnel.”

However, he could choose the musicians who would be members of his chamber orchestra.  Moreover, he was free to invite fine guest musicians, if such was Prince Nikolaus’ wish, which was usually the case.  Mozart, who became Haydn’s protégé, was undoubtedly the most remarkable musician ever to perform at Esterháza.  Finally, distinguished visitors flocked to Esterháza and, every year, Haydn spent up to two months in Vienna, the city that was home to Mozart and would soon be home to Beethoven, who would be Haydn’s student, albeit briefly.

So, even though he lived at a distance from Vienna, Esterháza offered Haydn a stable life and he was not only a respected member of Nicolaus’ court, but also the prince’s personal music teacher, Nikolaus played the baryton, now a mostly obsolete instrument.  Joseph Haydn wrote approximately 170 pieces for Prince Nikolaus Esterházy, in the earlier part of his career.  (See Haydn, Wikipedia.)

London: an “Apotheosis”

As we know, when Nikolaus I died, Haydn was financially secure.  Yet he let German impresario Johann Peter Salomon convince him to visit England and conduct new symphonies with a large orchestra.  It would lead to unprecedented and totally unsuspected success.   Haydn’s “Paris Symphonies” were excellent compositions, but his “London Symphonies” are a summit.  Moreover, it is in London, between 1796 and 1798, that Haydn composed The Creation (Die Schöpfung), an oratorio.  (See Haydn, Wikipedia.)

I will pause at this point and post a second article focussing on another member of the Esterházy family, Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, the man who sold information to Germany, a crime imputed to Alfred Dreyfus, a French artillery officer of Jewish background.  The Dreyfus Affair would divide France into Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards and reveal considerable contempt against Jews, particularly in the military.

Terminology, the Music of Louis XIII & the News

Classical music & the “classical” era

There is a great deal of unnecessary confusion regarding the word “Classical” in music, but the matter can be simplified.

Broadly speaking, the eras of music listed below are called collectively “Classical music.”  In other words, for practical reasons, music composed during these periods can be called Classical, whether or not it is music of the Classical period.

The Eras, or periods, of Western music are

the Medieval era (500-1400)
the Renaissance (1400–1600)
the Baroque*era (1600–1760)
the Classical era (1730–1820) ←
the Romantic era (1815–1910)
the 20th century (1900–2000)
*the word “baroque” is used to describe an odd-shaped pearl.
 

Classical Music: Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven…

Strictly speaking, Classical music is music composed between 1730 and 1820.  The three main figures associated with the Classical period are Joseph Haydn (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791), and Ludwig van Beethoven (baptized 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827).  But Beethoven is also considered a composer of the Romantic era, early Romanticism.  So there is overlapping between periods.  To obtain the names of musicians associated with Classical music, simply click on Classical period.

Louis XIII as composer

Louis XIII (27 September 1601 – 14 May 1643), King of France from 1610, when his father Henri IV was assassinated, until his death in 1643, was very fond of music and therefore composed lovely pieces.  Contrary to Frederick the Great (Friedrich II) of Prussia, Louis XIII never truly reigned.  Louis’s life therefore allowed him to indulge his interests, such as music.

However, during that period, France was nevertheless governed.  Marie de’ Medici, Henri IV’s widow did rule for a short period, but France was soon governed  by Armand Jean du Plessis, cardinal-duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac (9 September 1585–1642), le Cardinal Richelieu.  Le Cardinal Richelieu also governed New France.  After Richelieu’s death, France’s Prime Minister was Jules Mazarin (1602–1661), born Giulio Raimondo Mazzarino and trained by le Cardinal Richelieu.

In other words, from the late 1610s until 1661, France was governed first by Henri IV’s widow, Marie de’ Medici, who was not up to the task.  As a result, Prime Ministers started to govern, the first of whom was Richelieu.  They may be called éminences grises, except that they were too visible to be referred to as “grey.”  The better term would be that of Prime Minister.  For instance, le Père Joseph (Father Joseph), the man behind le Cardinal Richelieu, was a genuine éminence grise.

When his father died, Louis XIV of France would not tolerate ministers.  He was an advocate of the divine right of kings.  He reigned between 1661 and 1715.  Absolutism was achieved when the Edict of Nantes, an Edict of tolerance issued on 13 April 1598, was revoked in October 1685, by Louis XIV.  In 1685, France lost some of its finest citizens: French Calvinist Protestants called Huguenots.

Music: A “Ballet de cour” by Louis  XIII

But let us listen to Louis XIII the composer.  The French ballet de cour, the Masque, became a favourite divertissement in the late sixteenth century. However, it is associated with the reign of both Louis the XIII and Louis XIV.  Louis XIII wrote the Ballet de la Merlaison, all of which, i.e. the music, is on YouTube.

In Praise of little-known Artists

My last two blogs have featured artists I discovered through various searches on the internet: Kristiana Pärn and Steffan Johnson. I found Steffan Johnson in the “rising artists” section of Art.com, not Kristiana Pärn whose work I was familiar with. So I thought that before continuing writing the blog in progress, I would stop and praise these rising artists who cannot possibly be making a living from income generated by their art, except reproductions. But their art is affordable, and buying art is still one of the best investments one can make.  However, buy something you like and can enjoy for years.

I will not speak at any length about our singers who are making millions and some billions, singing songs that are often the creation of a composer. I will let them enjoy their fortune, all the more since there are exceptions to every rule. I have applauded the success of Susan Boyle and was delighted to see Adele Adkins receive Grammy awards she deserved.

Many of us cannot afford to buy original artworks, however inexpensive they are. Life is extremely expensive. However most of us we can afford to download a song and even buy a CD.

But how will artists make money?  Buying reproductions may help or purchasing one of a limited number of prints is also a fine way of supplying artists with the money to buy the material they need. As well, having a good manager can be helpful, but hiring a professional is expensive. So, by and large, the situation of these people is a “porte étroite,” André Gide‘s “narrow door,” or Strait is the Gate (1909).

Many books have also become too expensive. I was looking for a very recent book on the fur trade and the voyageurs and also wanted to purchase a collection of old chansons, but I realized that I simply could not afford what was not even luxurious. I am a scholar, a musician and an artist, but was led to retire prematurely.  That story may be told in a forthcoming blog. I am writing a novel in which my main character has faced similar difficulties. I just can’t find an appropriate conclusion.

But for the time being, I am featuring a little-known artist in a blog.  It may not help him, but it will help me.

Counterpoint & Harmony

07 Wednesday Dec 2011

Posted by michelinewalker in Music

≈ 12 Comments

Beethoven, counterpoint, Dufay, harmony, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Johann Joseph Fux, Mozart

Jean-Philippe Rameau, by Carmontelle

I have used the word “contrapuntal” several times with respect to the voices interwoven in madrigals.  Therefore, I have spoken of counterpoint.  However, I do not remember mentioning harmony.

Jean-Philippe Rameau

Music’s two dimensions

Music resembles time.  As you know, for the Greeks, time was both chronos (the horizontal dimension of time) and kairos (the moment, or vertical dimension of time).

Similarly, music has two dimensions:  harmony (vertical) and counterpoint (horizontal).  Harmony is associated with chords and counterpoint, with melody, but they may intersect.

I just looked up the entry harmony in Wikipedia and found a quotation by Carl Dalhaus (remember The Idea of Absolute Music).  He also uses the terms vertical and horizontal to differentiate harmony from counterpoint.  I may therefore have picked the terms browsing Dalhaus.

It was not that counterpoint was supplanted by harmony (Bach’s tonal counterpoint is surely no less polyphonic than Palestrina’s modal writing) but that an older type both of counterpoint and of vertical technique was succeeded by a newer type. And harmony comprises not only the (‘vertical’) structure of chords but also their (‘horizontal’) movement. Like music as a whole, harmony is a process.vertical to explain the difference between counterpoint and harmony.[i]

The Fugue

For instance, the fugue is a form that is mostly contrapuntal.  However, when the voices touch one another, it has to be harmonically acceptable.  Consequently, one cannot dissociate fully harmony and counterpoint.  There are links.  However, in the curriculum, the study of harmony precedes the study of counterpoint.

The Melodic line

With respect to the melodic line, I cannot go into details because I am writing a mere blog.  But, it may be useful to know that, generally speaking, the melodic line takes us from chord to chord, but not necessarily in a chordal fashion.  The notes may be distributed over the staff (the lines).

Chords

The basic chord consists of three notes, the triad: do-mi-sol or four notes, as in the dominant seventh sol-si-ré-fa, or more notes.  These notes may be played simultaneously, in chordal fashion, but they may also be played separately (arpeggiated).

In most traditional music: Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, etc., the melodic line is eight “measures” long.  Just sing Twinkle, twinkle little star or Ah, vous dirais-je, maman.  Or sing the choral movement, the Ode to Joy, of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.

Harmonic progression

Fully-deployed, the harmonic progression of the melody consists of chords built on I-IV-VII-III-VIII-II-V-I, or do-fa-si-mi-la-ré-sol-do, but a I-IV-V-I progression is just fine.  It depends on the length of the melody and other factors.

In solfège, sight-singing, musicians use the do-ré-mi chain.  But in harmony, they use Roman numerals.

Throughout the middle-ages, the Renaissance and the Baroque era (c. 1600 – c. 1750), schools worked on the combination of notes.  Nowadays  students still learn Rameau (harmony) and Fux (counterpoint).  However they do not study the original treatises.  They use a textbook.

Western Europe’s fundamental theoretical works are:

  • Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), by Johann Joseph Fux (1660 – 13 February 1741)
  • Traité de l’harmonie (1722), by Jean-Philippe Rameau (September 25, 1683 – September 12, 1764)

* * *

So, we now know, albeit superficially and in a simplified manner, that harmony is the vertical dimension of music and counterpoint, its horizontal dimension.

What amazes me is that, undergirding sublime music, there should be so much theory.  Yet give the barbershop quartet a piece to sing and, if they know the piece, the tune, they just might “harmonize” it very little time, by ear.

* * *

  • Mozart: 12 Variations: Ah, vous dirais-je, maman KV 265 (Clara Haskill, piano)
  • Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony: An die Freude
  • Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony: An die Freude (from The Immortal Beloved, 1994)
