UNIT IV - Lesson 1

AIM How did Baroque art and music reflect. the age of royal splendoc of the

17th Century?

PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES Students will be able to:

identify major artists and musicians of the 17th Century: Caravaggio,Rubens, Bernini, Monteverdi, Amati, Stradivarius, Corelli, Gabrieli

list major aspects of the Baroque style: dramatic contrast between lightand shade, pageantry, voluptuous decoration and ornamentation.

MOTIVATION Show filmstrip Baroque Music and Art, Part 1 (filmstrip)

PROCEDURES

The Baroque Period of music extends from about 1600 to 1750 AD. The music ischacacterized by a dramatic contrast between loud and soft, pageantry, andmuch ornamentation.

1. Place on chalkboard for class notes all compositions and composecs withrelevant descriptions and summarize the following highlights of the film.

Famous Artists

_ Caravagglo - dramatic contrasts of light and shade; subjects drawn from

Greek and Roman mythology_ Rubens - painted voluptuous women; kings and queens.- Bernini - magnificent sculptures and architecture

Famous Musicians

_ Monteverdi - wrote the ficst opera - introduced the recitative - a typeof sung speech. The opera satisfied the era's yearning for drama andsplendot through its pageantry, fantastic sets, costumes, and stagemechanics. The subjects of these early ope=as were also drawn from Greekand Roman history.

_ Amati and Stradivarius - built the most famous violins (also Guarneri)Corelli - highly ornamented melodies for the violin. Developed theConcerto Grosso in which a small group of solo instruments is setagainst the. sound of the '",holeorchestra. (Musical interplay ofopposing forces of light and shadow.)

Two bcass choirs are placed in the opposite ends of a huge cathedral - SLMark IS in venice. They echo each other with one choir louder than theother (earliest form of stereo; has antiphonal stereo effect) . This workis wr itten in the Doc ian mcde 1 the rhy.thmic, harmonic, and melodic changesare abcupt.

3. If time permits, play Montiverdi - Orfeo Suite from· The Well-TemperedSynthesizer Side 1 Band 1/2

'rhe Moog Synthesizer as programmed by Walter Carlos was the first attemptto recocd traditional music on the synthesizer. This performance could notbe accomplished in a live pecformance, since each note had to be adjustedand cecorded separately by this physicist who is also a composer.

POINTS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION

Why does Baroque music adapt so well to modern recording techniques andequipment?

- traditional instruments are used- small orchestras or ensembles (groups)- easy to track on recording tape- good stereo sound in compositions

Doc. 0478B/page 39

UNIT IV Les.son 2

AIM How did baroque music and art express religious emotions in a dramatic

way?


discuss similarities between woeks of Rembrandt, Bach and Handel

MOrIVATIOH Show Baroque Art and Music, Part II (filmstrip)

PROCEDURES

1. Review highlights of the filmstrip and duplicate for class notes. Alsoinclude recordings and descriptions.

Art

Rembrandt-- used strong lighting and dark backgrounds to create dramaticeffects, which evolved in time into a more spiritual art.

Music

Bach -- famous organ virtuoso, wrote a large amount of instrumental music,including six Brandenburg Concerti in Italian concerto grosso style. Whiledirector of sacred music in Leipzig, he composed mainly religious choealmusic, and large works such as the St. Matthew Passion which revealeddeeply personal eeligious fee~ings.

Handel -- enjoyed a successful cosmopolitan career; studied in Germany andItaly and became famous in England with the Water Music written foe GeoegeI. After Italian opera became passee in London, Handel adapted this stylefor religious subjects creating a new form - the oratorio, the most famousexample of which was The Messiah.

2. (Play from The Messiah: "The Hallelujah Chorus" (Side 5, Band 5) which isthe most famous excerpt from this woek and a good, example of baroque vocalstyle and oratorio.

Oratorio -- a musical work of a eeligious or historical nature performedwithout scenery, costumes or physical action.

114

3. Discuss concept of the woed baroque. Ask students to suggest adjectivesto describe the baroque style (flowery, gingerbread, florid, grand,high-style, lofty). Baroque -- style of art characterized byornamentation and curved rather than straight lines. Othercharacteristics: high drama, violent contrasts (highs and lows, not "cool"or "laid back")

4. Ask: How do examples of modern architecture differ from the baroquebuildings seen in the filmstr ip. (Simple lines; structure ofbuilding not emphasized -- except in more recent tres-modernarchitecture where the structure is again the point and emphasized.)

Where can baroque architecture be found in North Ameeica?


Which factors made it possible for the Baroque style to flourish?

Why is it unlikely that Baroque architecture will be revived in our time?

115

UNIT IV Lesson 3

AIM nOW did orchestral music develop in the high baroque style of the early

18 th cen tury?


define the following terms: concerto grosso, concertino, tutti, clarinotrumpet, basso continuo or figured bass, tremolo, trill, piano, forte

describe how each of five selections played in class is. representative ofan aspect of baroque style such as contrast between light and shade,embellishment, massive sonority kept in constant motion

MOrIVATION

Play Rondeau by Mouret (used as theme of Masterpiece Theatre on Channel 13)from Gr€atest Hits of 1720 (Side 1, Band 6). Review the rondo form (thetrumpet plays the A sections, the strings the B and C) contrastingsonorities. The trumpet in the baroque is played in a very high range,producing the highest harmonies to form a scale on a valveless instrument.This was called the clarino trumoet.

PROCEDURES Put on board all compositions and composers listened to in classfor notes. Add descriptions.

1. write these terms on the board and define them for class notes:concerto grosso--small geoup of solo instrumen.ts set against the soundsof the entire orchestra.

- concertino--small group of instrumental soloists- tutti--full orchestra- clarino trumpet--baroque trumpet style, plays in very high range

basso continuo--a bass part provided with numbers indicating whatharmonies to play

- tremolo--quick repetitions of the same note- trill--rapid alternation between. the adjacent tones

piano--play soft- forte--play loud

2. Introduce the concerto grosso -- a small group of soloists (the concertina)is alternated with a full orchestra (tutti- everyone plays). Play TheBrandenburg Concerto lf2by J .S. Bach (1685-1750) from Enjoyment of Music(side 6, Band 4).· This piece is an example of the concerto grosso style.The concertino includes the clarino trumpet, flute, oboe, and violin; thetutti includes violins, violas, cellos, basses, and the harpsichord (wherethe conductor sat). The harpSichord, cellos, basses played the bassocontinuo which maintained a steady rhythmic pulse throughout. The keyboardplayer improvised the harmonic accomp-animent which was expressed by numbers(figured bass) over the bass part. (The format is similar to a swing band

wi th the bass supplying the rhythm.

3. Play "Allegro Deciso" from Water Music by Handel (1685-1759) from WellTempered Synthesizer (Side 1, Band 6). The-concertino includes synthesized

French horns, oboes and bassoons.

4. Play Violin Concerto in E ("Spring~ - used in Elvira Madigan) by AntonioVivaldi (1675-1741) from The Four Seasons, first movement (Side 4,Band 4). Notice the tone painting: the violin trills -- rapid alternationbetween two adjacent tones, how they represent the birds; the tremolos --quick repitions of the same note produced by a rapid up and down movementof the bow to represent thunder. The theme presents a strong contrastbetween piano (soft) and forte (loud) producing light and shade through

repeated phrases.

~OINTS FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION

Why did many rock and jazz fans become interested in Baroque music?(st~ong r?ythmic pulse, straightforward phrase structure, good stereo

sound, vitality).

w11y have baroque elements been used in var iou.s rock and soul compos itions.(Examples: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by the Procol Harum or "The Theme from

Mahogony" by Diana Ross.)

- overture: instrumental music composed as introductoey music to a largerwork.

- concerto grosso: small group of solo· instruments set against the ,soundof the entire orchestr ation (clarino trumpet, flute,oboe, violin with tutti or full orchestr a of violins!violas, cellos, basses and harpsichord) .

- dance sui te: an instrumental work consisting of a number ofstandardized movements, each in the character of a dance.

118

2. Tell students that Rifkin has arranged this song into an overture andfugue. 'Ask students to count entrances to the fugue (14). The winnee getsa bonus on his music mark!)

3. Have students list instruments and elicit that the work is in the conceetogrosso format.

4. Ask students which barcq.ue composers would have written a work like this.(Bach, Handel)
