1 Handel With Care Theory Packet Wednesday, April 10, :06 PM WHO is George Friderich Handel? This guy! G.F. Handel has his own website even though he has been dead for over 250 years! Have a look around the website and find the following Try this website also 3 interesting things about his life: hint look at his biography under 'Handel' 1) 2) 3) 4) One day, during his early childhood, he went to Weissenfiels with his father to meet the Duke. He was permitted to play the organ when coincidentally the Duke hears him play. He was fascinated by his musical talent that he went to his father and urged that he should be educated for a musical career. A year after his death, John Mainwaring wrote a book "The Anecdotal Biography" which was the first printed book written about a composer. George II stood up when he heard the chorus of 'Hallelujah', meaning that he was extremely touched and astonished by the music. Since then, people started to stand up when the 'Hallelujah' chorus is played and formed a tradition. Some criticized his piece of work, but even then, the famous composer Beethoven said that he is the greatest composer that he ever lived. 3 Major pieces of music he wrote 1) 2) 3) 'Hallelujah' 'Water Music' 'Music for the Royal Fireworks' IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what is the Sadie Prize? Sadie Prize is a award named after the scholar, the prize founder Stanley Sadie. It is given to one peculiar recording from one of Handel's music, and is judged by the scholars and the authors who have interest and enthusiasm in Handel's music. The music have to be in good quality and show that you understand the perception of Handel's intelligence. Do you think John Kinyon would win it? WHY or WHY NOT? Come back to this question after you have completed the packet maybe I think John Kinyon won't be able to win the Sadie Prize. The reasons why I don't think he will, are because of the lack of main characteristics of the Baroque period. First of all, the terraced dynamic in the music is fairly similar to other Baroque music, but I think the dynamics should stay longer then suddenly shift, and not to often. Secondly, the main reason is ornamentation. This is one of the important feature of Baroque music, but there is so little ornamentation sixteenth notes in this music. When I listened to "Spring" by Vivaldi, I could hear so many fast sixteenth notes, in fact, I thought most of the melody part was played in sixteenth note. Last of all, is the melodic order, Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 1

2 balance and perfection. In the music that was arranged by John Kinyon, the melodic order was good, and flowed well. However, there was lack of balance because in other Baroque music, they often had reputation of the melody which was played in the beginning and later repeated at the end which made it more stable and balanced. In this arranged music, there were enough reputation, but in the beginning and at the middle not at the end which made it seem unbalanced. Since balance and perfection go together, the music didn't seem as perfect it could've been. So overall, I don't think he can win the Sadie Prize because of these lack of characteristics of Baroque music which is lack of understanding (knowledge) of Handel's intelligence and also his intentions.

3 Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 3 Not like the other Thursday, April 25, :18 PM From playing Handel with Care you have a basic idea of the style of Baroque music. Here are 2 recordings. One of them is from the Baroque Period, and ONE is not. See if you can guess which is which. 1st one (Baroque Period) 2nd one

4 Baroque Music Monday, April 22, :49 PM Here is where Baroque music fits in the progression of MUSICAL PERIODS Medieval (0 1400) > Renaissance ( ) > Baroque ( ) > Classical ( ) > Romantic ( ) > 20th Century (1900 today) Each period has a unique style and different characteristics. The Baroque Period (roughly ) is known for Terraced Dynamics: Dynamic levels stay the same for a long time. When they do change there is a sudden shift in dynamics. Uninterrupted Forward Motion: Very steady beat and constant rhythmic pulse Ornamentation (twiddly bits): Lots of really fast notes added to the actual note to make it sound really fancy. Example: Melodic Order, Balance, and Perfection: Clear melodies that are even sounding and pleasing to the ear. Instrumental Contrast: Pieces typically shift from one instrument to others in sudden way. Here is some other music that comes from the Baroque Period that you may be familiar with. Listen for the characteristics listed above. The first one is 'Spring' by Vivaldi a piece you may be familiar with that also came from the Baroque period. Listen to it and give 3 examples of how it fits with the characteristics above make sure to reference the specific time that it happens in the recording. Listen Here One match is terraced dynamics found at 0:00~0:07. For 7 seconds, the dynamic level stays the same, when suddenly it changes from mezzo forte to piano. One match is instrumental contrast found at 0:29~0:58. The orchestra plays the music and until 0:29, then suddenly shifted and focused on violins. One match is ornamentation found at 0:46~0:59. The violinist plays the notes really fast, repeating the notes which made it fancy and fascinating to hear. One match is uninterrupted forward motion found at 1:07~1:27. There is a steady beat (rhythm) with only one instrument following the beat (rhythm) which makes that part uninterrupted and able to keep moving forward. One match is melodic order, balance, and perfection found at 2:36~2:47. The violinist plays clear melodies at this time and they are pleasing to hear since the feeling of the music changes from winter to spring. Also, overall, the music is well balanced and perfect because the notes in the beginning is repeated at the end. Now listen to another Baroque composer you are probably familiar with Bach. This is part of his 'Brandenburg Concerto'. Listen to it and give 3 examples of how it fits with the characteristics above make sure to reference the specific time that it happens in the recording. Listen Here One match is instrumental contrast found at 1:02~1:10. The music is poly rhythm mostly, but changes and focuses on individual. At 1:02, the trumpets play solo, then oboe and lastly violins. One match is terraced dynamics found at 1:12~1:26. The dynamics stay the same for 14 seconds on mezzo forte then Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 4

5 instantly changes to mezzo piano. One match is melodic order, balance, and perfection found at 3:51~4:25. The melodic is clear, and consonant which pleases the listener. This part is also well balanced since it has a balanced mixture of instruments and their dynamics and overall sounds pleasant. Also, overall, it is well balanced and perfect since the notes in the beginning repeats and the end too. One match is ornamentation found at 7:31~7:51. The notes are played really fast with notes going up and down like the example shown above. One match is uninterrupted forward motion found at 8:17~8:24. This period has a steady beat and constant rhythm. This can be known by knowing that there are 3 quarter notes in a bar 3/4 which keeps on moving forward, uninterrupted. You can count 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 and so on, making the music push forward. Last Example Here is a piece by someone WAS NOT A BAROQUE COMPOSER. How does this NOT FIT with the characteristics of Baroque music found above? Listen Here This music wasn't played by a Baroque composer, and there are many characteristics that are different from the Baroque period such as terraced dynamics, uninterrupted forward motion, ornamentation, melodic order, balance, perfection and last of all, instrumental contrast. Here are some specific examples about the difference First of all, music from the baroque period had dynamics going on for a long time throughout the song which changes all of a sudden without any notice. In this music, the dynamics are also mostly the same throughout the whole music, however, when there is a change of dynamic, it happens slowly where people can predict how it is going to change which is not one of the aspects of a Baroque music. At 1:30~1:50, the music starts slowing down, indicating that the dynamic level will go down which is different to pieces from the Baroque period where the composer made dynamic changes suddenly and surprising. Secondly, the uninterrupted forward motion in this piece is also different to music from the Baroque period. For a song to move forward, there should be a steady beat or a constant rhythm to move the song until the end. In Baroque music, there are often there are more than one instrument so that one of the instruments can play the rhythm. However, in this piece, there is only one instrument piano, which plays only the melody and makes it hard to distinguish the rhythm. From my observations, rhythms seemed to change throughout the music, and cannot find any continuing pulse, making it different to the music from the Baroque period. Thirdly, the most easy aspect to distinguish was the ornamentation. The ornamentation is a method to make a music sound fancy by attaching fast sixteenth notes to regular notes. In this specific music, the slowness was intended to make the music emotional. Ornamentation is to decorate which means decorating that line which are mostly performed as "fast notes" around a central note. So even though there are some notes considered 'fast', that doesn't count as ornamentation because they are the same notes unlike music in Baroque period where the notes go up and down several times. Fourth of all is melodic order, balance and perfection. As I observed this music, I found that the melodies weren't clear as Baroque music because most of the notes were slurred, there was melody and harmony going on at the same time, played by the same instrument where as Baroque music had clear notes since the melody playing instruments were loud and played by itself which made it clear. This music was also not even sounding there was not much of a balance between the melody and the harmony with no rhythmic pulses. Lastly, instrumental contrast finalizes the period of the music in this case. In the baroque period, there were lots and lots of instruments playing as a group where as in this music, it is only piano that's playing the piece. So overall, due to these 5 aspects of baroque music, this piece can be known that it isn't from the baroque period. Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 5

6 Music and Architecture?! Wednesday, April 10, :13 PM Here is a picture of a Palace that was built in Germany during the Baroque period. ZOOM IN and look at the ENTIRE PICTURE closely...you will need to pay attention to details! Here are the characteristics of Baroque Music again... Terraced Dynamics: Dynamic levels stay the same for a long time. When they do change there is a sudden shift in dynamics. Uninterrupted Forward Motion: Very steady beat and constant rhythmic pulse Ornamentation (twiddly bits): Lots of really fast notes added to the actual note to make it sound really fancy. Melodic Order, Balance, and Perfection: Clear melodies that are even sounding and pleasing to the ear. Instrumental Contrast: Pieces typically shift from one instrument to others in sudden way. What connections can you make between the characteristics of Baroque Music and the Baroque Palace? draw on the picture to point them out AND give a detailed explanation behind your thinking here... [Terraced Dynamics] The terraced dynamics in the Baroque music means that the dynamic level stays the same for quite a long time then suddenly changes to another dynamic level unexpectedly. In this picture the Baroque palace there are two evidence that can relate to the characteristics of the Baroque music. First of all, in the sky, there is nothing at first but then as you move to the right, in the middle there are dark clouds representing the sudden, unexpected big change of dynamics. After that, there is nothing in the sky but once again at the end of the right hand side, there are dark clouds again which I presumed the dynamic had changed. Since the normal sky seems peaceful than dark clouds which shows the strength and the heaviness, I thought the sky was either piano or mezzo piano and the cloud, forte or fortissimo. Second of all, the structure (building) looks tall then short then same for a while then gets tall again. I thought this also represented the dynamics since in the middle of the structure; the height of it is the same then suddenly becomes big which I thought can relate to the terraced dynamics. [Uninterrupted Forward Motion] Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 6

7 A music to be steady, constant and rhythmical, there should be a progression of different rhythms. In this picture, there are lots of windows in the palace which are in the same distance as another making it steady and constant. I also thought it related to the uninterrupted forward motion because there are also some different shaped windows, each representing different rhythms in the Baroque music. [Ornamentation (twiddly bits)] The ornamentation is parts where the composer added fast notes to make the music sound fancier. In this picture, if the pavement is normal, regular notes, the shining lights are fast notes added to it which makes in fancier. The shiny lights add more amazement for the whole atmosphere of the palace which is the role for ornamentation in the Baroque music. Another example is the decorations on the structure. They do the same role as the lights, making the structure (music) sound more complex and more fascinating to impress the viewers (listeners). Last of all, the lights on the windows could be counted as ornamentation because it's a decoration, making the palace look more grand and bright which is the role of ornamentation in a music. [Melodic Order, Balance, and Perfection] Most of the music in Baroque period was balanced and perfect, meaning that it flowed well with clear melodies that are pleasing to hear. The instruments were well balanced when they all played together and also were perfect since the notes in the beginning was repeated at the end, making the music stable. In this picture, you can see that if you fold the picture in half, it is the same symmetrical which makes the palace well balanced and perfect. In Baroque music, the melody flowed in order like the structures in this picture (3) 6 (2) 7 (1), showing that it moved in melodic order. Overall, the picture seems stable and pleasing to look at because of the grand and magnificent palace like the characteristics in Baroque music. [Instrumental contrast] Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 7

8 Instrumental contrast is when the music shifts suddenly from one instrument to another. As you can see, in this picture, the left structure is brown, representing one instrument and later meets with a structure that is blue. Then, that structure meets with another structure that is brown (different to the first brown). The structure again meets another blue structure which is lighter than the first blue structure and is connected to a bright brown structure at the right hand side. These change of color, I thought, meant the change of instrument which is often seen in music from the Baroque period. Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 8

9 Music and Art?! Wednesday, April 10, :14 PM Here is a link to a video about how music and art can be related. The picture doesn't have anything to do with Baroque, but we can apply the same ideas to the task below. Have you ever heard 'GREEN', tasted 'PURPLE', or felt 'BLUE'? Here is a link to a video about Baroque Artists while the picture that we look at is different, this video will help you think about how Baroque Art has similarities with characteristics of the baroque music. Now...Here is a piece of art by a Baroque Artist Here are the characteristics of Baroque Music again... Terraced Dynamics: Dynamic levels stay the same for a long time. When they do change there is a sudden shift in dynamics. Uninterrupted Forward Motion: Very steady beat and constant rhythmic pulse Ornamentation (twiddly bits): Lots of really fast notes added to the actual note to make it sound really fancy. Melodic Order, Balance, and Perfection: Clear melodies that are even sounding and pleasing to the ear. Instrumental Contrast: Pieces typically shift from one instrument to others in sudden way. What connections can you make between the characteristics of Baroque Music and the Baroque Painting? draw on the picture to point them out AND give a detailed explanation behind your thinking here... [Terraced Dynamics] Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 9

10 This artwork mainly focuses in the middle which is one of the main characteristics of Baroque art. This pyramid or diagonal line for composition shows powerful dynamic when the viewer sees the piece from the outside and into the middle. Outside of the pyramid, there is basically nothing which shows that the dynamics are staying the same for a long time for example piano, but there is a sudden dynamic change when the music enters the pyramid and changes to forte or fortissimo since the picture focuses on the middle. So basically, the pyramid or the diagonal line shows the terraced dynamics due to sudden change of focus in the art piece. [Uninterrupted forward motion] In this picture, I found the angles interesting which also related to one of the characteristics of Baroque music. "Uninterrupted forward motion" means that there are steady, constant rhythmic pulses in the music, but in this art piece, I thought the angles who are connected somehow either hand to hand or with objects represented that characteristic. Angles showed the rhythms, and the connection showed steadiness, constancy since they are all between the same distance and also because they help the art piece flow well, just as if it is music. [Ornamentation] Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 10

11 Another fascinating technique they used for Baroque art works were ornamentation. In those days, lots of colors such as blue, gold, white, green, red etc. were added to the art work to impress the viewers. Lots of art work also had theatrical light which made them shine bright for decorations and little details such as people drawn inside the painting were drawn realistic and looked more 3D shaped than the paintings in the Renaissance. These techniques used in the paintings were decorations and made it look fancy and marvelous like the role that ornamentation emphasizing little detail, does in Baroque music because the Catholic Church encouraged artists for those kind of art works. [Melodic order, balance, and perfection] As Baroque music is in order, well balanced and perfect, I also found similar characteristics in art pieces. First of all, from my observations, I thought that the people (angels) represent the melodies either than rhythms written above and that could be shown as melodic order in Baroque music because the angels are mostly on the bottom side and they go up which felt like the song was moving towards the end in melodic order. Secondly, the painting is well balanced. What I mean from well balanced is that since the painting focuses on the pyramid, there are more people at the bottom which made it seem more stabilized. Last of all, due to these reasons, the painting is close to perfection with all the color texture and structure which can also relate to Baroque music which is even sounding and pleasant to listen to. [Instrumental contrast] Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 11

12 There are different kinds of colors used in this art work gold, blue, red, purple. I think all of these represent each instrument and the characteristic of Baroque music instrumental contrast can be seen in this painting. There are sudden shifts of instruments in those kind of music, and they do not have a part where they are mixed, so in this painting I observed that every color has it's own place, not mixing with other colors which showed the characteristic of sudden shift.

13 How Does That Match With Handel With Care? Wednesday, April 10, :45 PM Now that you are familiar with some of the characteristics of the BAROQUE PERIOD, look at the score of 'Handel With Care' below. Find and describe specific examples of each of the following characteristics. Mark these in the music and explain the specific places here. Make sure to refer to bar numbers. Terraced Dynamics: Bar 21; Piano Bar 29; Mezzo forte Bar 28; Piano (Percussion) Bar 29; Mezzo forte (Percussion) Bar 37; Piano Bar 45; Mezzo forte Bar 60; Forte Bar 82; Piano The dynamic throughout this period is mezzo forte where the dynamic suddenly shifts from mezzo forte to piano in the beginning of the song. Later, there are parts where the music suddenly shifts from Forte to Piano, which I thought was to most suitable for 'terraced dynamics' since there was a bigger change of dynamic rather than Mezzo forte to Piano. Terraced dynamics impressed and surprised the listener with a sudden change of dynamics from one to the opposite in this music. *NO CRESCENDO OR DECRESCENDO! Uninterrupted Forward Motion: Bar 5 to 20 (Percussion) Bar 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 35, 57, 59, 61, 62, 63, 65 (Low Brass Wind, A.Sax.) Bar 28 to 36 (Percussion) Bar 57 to 68 (Percussion) Bar 76 to 88 (Percussion) Most of the rhythmical pulses were found from the percussion section, and in low brass wind and a.sax because they played quarter notes and half notes which seemed to be constant. The percussion section and the low brass wind, A.Sax. section had 4 quarter notes in each bar, repeating them again and again over the music. Occasionally, the music notes change to eighth notes and helped the music move forward until the end. So overall, the percussion section and some other instruments helped move the whole song forward without any interruption by playing constant rhythms. Ornamentation (twiddly bits): Bar 43 (Clarinet, Trumpet) Bar 51 (Flute, clarinet, trumpets) Bar 66 (Percussion) Bar 68 (Percussion) In these bars, fast 16th notes are played around regular notes which is related to ornamentation. In bar 43, the note changes from 'A' to 'B', played by the clarinet and the trumpet, really quickly (Twiddly part). In bar 51, the flutes, clarinet and the trumpets have ornamentation because the sixteenth note 'G' changes to 'A' quickly. In bar 66, the percussion section plays the drum in sixteenth notes which is counted as ornamentation. Last of all, in bar 68, the percussion section again have sixteenth note which I think is also ornamentation. Melodic Order, Balance, and Perfection: Bar 5 Bar 21 Bar 37 Bar 53 Bar 5, 13, 29 The melodic order in this music is found quite easily, because it moves from a music to another. In bar 5, the music "Judas Maccabaeus" was played and later in bar 21 was the same song, but since there was only quarter notes, it seemed to have slowed down and the slurred part made it seem more flowing and nice. Later on, in bar 37, the music changed to an opera Alcina and was played slow in a 'Dolce' way which means sweet. Last of all, in bar 53, the music changed again to "Music for the royal fireworks" and finally came back to being fast and more exciting like the beginning. I thought his was in melodic order, and close to being perfect since the song started exciting, then slow and lovely and lastly exciting again. This music was quite balanced because the melody for "Judas Maccabaeus" had repeated 3 times bar 5, 13 and 29, and that's the characteristic of Baroque music where the melody is played in the beginning and repeated at the end to make it sound perfect. Instrumental Contrast: Bar 1 to 4 (Trumpet) Bar 53 to 56 (Trumpet) Bar 69 to 72 (Trumpet) Bar 72 to 76 (Clarinet) Bar 74 to 76 (Flute) In bar 1 to 4, there is a nice trumpet solo, introducing the music that I think is related to instrumental contrast because as time goes on, all of the group joins in to play the music. In bar 53 to 56, trumpets have another short solo which is also counted as instrumental contrast because the music was played as a group before that bar and had sudden shifts. From bar 69 to 76, overall, the trumpets play and the clarinets play then the flutes play right after one another, which seemed like questioning and answering and this is instrumental contrast because it shifts from one instrument to another. Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 13

14 Are there parts in 'Handel With Care' that don't match? Where are they and what about them doesn't match with the Baroque style. Ornamentation This music arranged by John Kinyon overall did not have lots of fast notes attached to regular notes. The parts I could only find was from bar 43, 51, 66 and 68 and only had one sixteenth note for each bar. Other Baroque music such as "Spring" by Vivaldi has so many ornamentation by using sixteenth notes everywhere, and very often. Melodic order, balance and perfection The melodic order and perfection was similar to other Baroque music, however, the balance seemed to not be good as other music from the Baroque period. I thought that because when I heard the music "Spring" by Vivaldi, it had the main melody in the beginning and repeating it at the end and also slightly changing it to make it more interesting. However, in this music, there is lack of reputations compared to other Baroque music in my opinion. Instrumental contrast In baroque music, instruments have their solo for a long time whereas in this music it's quite short. In Baroque music, there are shifts from one instrument to another, but of course, each is played for quite a long time. So in order for this music to be more like the original Baroque music, I think it needs more sudden shifts from one instrument to another. Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 14

24 Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 24 Another Connection Wednesday, April 17, :55 PM Make a list of places you hear music today School theater Home Classes Outside my house where Vietnamese people dance to the music Bus Okay stop you could probably go on Read along and answer the questions highlighted in blue. Before and during the Baroque period the only place you would hear music would be at church OR in the courts and palaces of rich Dukes, Duchesses, Kings and Queens. Take Bach for example He composed and performed music for a specific family of Dukes in Germany. After this he moved to another town in Germany where he was in charge of writing music for four local churches and trained all of churches choirs. This is where Bach composed and performed music for the Duke of Weimar and his family. He also gave music lessons to the children of the family. Why do you think music was only performed for rich dukes or at church during this time period? I think music was only performed for rich dukes or at church because they were wealthy enough to afford them to do so. They had the authority to hire composers to write music for them on special occasions such as balls, church service music etc. During the baroque period, it was usual for composers to go and write music for them, whereas normal citizens haven't had a lot of chances to approach to music that well in the early periods of Baroque.

25 Music08ISTR - HWC Packet - Yoon Zoo (Yoon Ju) Gee Page 25 If Bach was being paid to compose music for churches what do you think the music he was writing was about? I think the music he was writing about their life, certain types of music they like, balls, parties they throw, or church music because the composers in general including Bach, were paid to do so. Whereas now, composers compose how they feel or music for movies, dramas, arts etc. which are entirely in their authority. But in those days, they had to do what they were asked to do which was related to them. However it was during the Baroque period that music began to be performed for the public. If composers were beginning to earn money from PUBLIC performances how do you think this would change the type of music that they write? During the mid Baroque period (1630~1680), the church and the state patronage created the demand for public music, as there were more availability of musical instruments. In the beginning of Baroque period, it was the opposite where the composers were paid from the church or the patron. The composers at that time had to make music about them, for example their life, music they like etc. as I said before. But I think when composers started to earn money from public performances, I think they would've wrote about the citizen's life, their tough situation, or maybe also music for certain big events. Do you see people writing music that is meant for a certain audience today? Explain? Not really, because unlike the Baroque period, it is the 21st century and many things have changed. Maybe for personal life but obviously not for the public. Now, they try to make more enjoyable music and express themselves. However, in the Baroque period, the composers wrote for certain people because they were paid to do the job, but now, composers have their own will what to write the music about, and also is open to anyone because everyone is equal in the 21st century. Do you think the bands that you listen to write the music because it is their favorite kind of music, or because they know that it will be popular and make money? I think it is half, half because the bands might choose to choose their favorite genre of the music, but I don't think they will choose it because it will be popular. I think bands try their best to make a good quality song that is appealing to themselves and express themselves well but I specifically don't think they are obsessed of being popular and making a lot of money because they are doing what they love, not for the purpose of money.
