	Baroque Music - Part One

	Definition of Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The reason I have given a definition of music is because I felt that the subject of music as a social psychological phenomenon could be a complex and deeply individual idea hence an outline may be needed to make the subject easier to understand.
		Hence, language is music itself, which concludes that the semantics of music must be the most complete and universal language to chronicle human kind.
		As you may agree music is all of these areas, but most of all Music is an art form, it allows a human being to take all these dry, technically dull but difficult disciplines and use them to create emotion.

	Joseph Haydn
		In circa 1759 he was appointed music director to Count Morzin; but he soon moved, into service as Vice-Kapellmeister with one of the leading Hungarian families, the Esterházys, becoming full Kapellmeister (on Werner's death) in 1766.
		In his early years Haydn chiefly wrote instrumental music, including symphonies and other pieces for the twice-weekly concerts and the prince's Tafelmusik, and works for the instrument played by the prince, the baryton (a kind of viol), for which he composed circa 125 trios in ten years.
		Moreover, all music that he produced while employed at this court would become the property of the prince, to such an extent that the composer was forbidden to give away copies of his own compositions to any other person.

	Georg Frideric Handel
		At first he practised music clandestinely, but his father was encouraged to allow him to study and he became a pupil of Zachow, the principal organist in Halle.
		Handel died in 1759 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, recognized in England and by many in Germany as the greatest composer of his day.
		But above all he had a resource and originality of invention, to be seen in the extraordinary variety of music in the op.6 concertos, for example, in which melodic beauty, boldness and humour all play a part, that place him and J.S. Bach as the supreme masters of the Baroque era in music.
