Haydn’s Surprise Symphony.
Joseph Haydn was the most famous composer of his time. He helped develop new musical forms, like the string quartet and the symphony. In fact, even though he didn't invent it, Haydn is known as the "Father of the Symphony."
Haydn was born in the tiny Austrian town of Rohrau, where his father made huge wooden carts and wagon wheels. His mother was a cook. When he was 8, Joseph went to Vienna to sing in the choir at St. Stephen's Cathedral, and to attend the choir school. His younger brother Michael joined him a short time later. Joseph could never resist a playing a joke, which got him in trouble at school.
At first, Haydn struggled to earn a living as a composer. Then, he got a job with a rich, powerful family named Esterhazy. It was Haydn's job to write music for the Esterhazy princes, and to conduct their orchestra. Haydn composed symphonies, operas, string quartets, and all kinds of other music for performance at the Esterhazy court.
Haydn was also a good businessman. Music publishing made him and his music famous all over Europe. After he retired from working for the Esterhazy family, Haydn made two very successful trips to England, where audiences at concerts of his music treated him like a superstar.
Haydn believed that some people went to concerts just to be social, and had no interest in the music. In fact, some people used to fall asleep during the concert. In the music this week, Haydn gave the listeners a “surprise” that was put into the music to wake them up. Listen carefully and see if you can hear what the “surprise” is.
