Along the way, students will discover the composers who shaped each period, learn to recognize the unique characteristics of their music, and explore how music evolved over the centuries. Each month will include engaging stories, listening activities, and historical connections that help students develop a deeper appreciation for the music they play. By understanding the people, ideas, and artistic styles behind the notes, students gain a richer musical perspective that extends beyond the piano lesson. Understanding the influences of earlier generations helps students see how music evolves, connects the past to the present, and continues to change over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43b5dd3e2d09d6720098b4/80682642-d56f-498e-86e3-dc74884a4789/1280px-Dome_of_Church_of_the_Ges%C3%B9_%28Rome%29.jpg Composer of the Month - Make it stand out Interior view of dome of the Church of the Gesù by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, and Giacomo della Porta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43b5dd3e2d09d6720098b4/438d25d8-c3e4-483c-847f-79bfdeb60ec7/lossy-page1-500px-Galileo_Galilei_%281564-1642%29_RMG_BHC2700.tiff.jpg Composer of the Month - The World During the Baroque Era The Baroque period began around 1600 and lasted until about 1750. During this time, Europe experienced major changes in science, politics, religion, and the arts. Scientists such as Galileo and Newton changed the way people understood the natural world. In art and architecture, artists created dramatic works filled with movement, detail, and contrast. These same ideas can be heard in Baroque music. Music was an important part of life at churches and cathedrals, royal courts, and wealthy homes. Composers often worked for a church or a royal court and wrote music for specific occasions. Public concerts also became more common toward the end of the period. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43b5dd3e2d09d6720098b4/feb33fe4-0db5-47d3-8e98-40e7cdd53fd2/500px-ClavecinRuckers%26Taskin.jpg Composer of the Month - How Can You Recognize Baroque Music?

He came from a large German family of musicians and became a renowned organist, known for his extraordinary skill and ability to improvise. Bach had a strong work ethic and often had to produce new music on a regular schedule for church services and other occasions. In 1717, Bach accepted a new position in another city, but his employer in Weimar refused to let him leave and had him arrested for nearly four weeks. Even while inprisoned, Bach continued working on his music. Bach's music is admired for its intricate counterpoint, expressive melodies, and remarkable craftsmanship, and he is now considered one of the greatest composers in Western music. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43b5dd3e2d09d6720098b4/df92bf4f-1708-4851-94ed-ea322ba8846b/George_Frideric_Handel_by_Thomas_Hudson_-_1756.jpg Composer of the Month - George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) George Frideric Handel was a German-born composer who became one of the most successful musicians in England. Unlike Bach, who spent much of his career writing for churches and courts, Handel became famous for opera and oratorio, writing music for large public audiences. He was a talented keyboard player and composer with a bold, passionate personality, and he was known for his strong opinions and determination. As a young man in Hamburg, Handel became involved in a heated argument with fellow musician Johann Mattheson over who should play the harpsichord during a performance, and the disagreement led to a sword duel; Handel narrowly escaped injury when Mattheson's sword struck a metal button on his coat. The two men soon reconciled and even had dinner together that same month, showing that their friendship survived this hot-tempered disagreement. Handel later became a successful and wealthy composer in London, where he enjoyed a lively social life and wrote some of the most famous music of the Baroque period, including Messiah, Water Music, and Music for the Royal Fireworks.
