1809: from Classicism to Romanticism: the Music of Haydn and Mendelssohn

Saturday, November 21, 7:30 PM –Strawbridge United Methodist Church, 5629 Kingwood Drive at Willow Terrace, Kingwood. 1809 is the year Franz Josef Haydn, the father of musical Classicism, died after a long and fruitful life. It is also the year Felix Mendelssohn, one of the giants of early Romanticism in music was born. The concert will share excerpts from several of these composers’ most famous choral and orchestral works to highlight the stylistic differences. Haydn’s output will be represented by excerpts from Creation, Lord Nelson Mass, Paukenmesse, and the Surprise Symphony. Mendelssohn’s output will be represented by excerpts from Elijah, St. Paul, Psalm 42, and the Reformation Symphony. A German actor portraying the "Papa" Haydn will give tidbits about his life in music. Multi-media will also be utilized in the concert.
