SUNDAY MORNING CLASSICS ON TBP

A collaboration of: “The Classic Music Mafia”
Anthony Aaron, and Steve C.

Steve C / Classic Music Mafia: Here is the image depicting “The Classic Music Gangsters,” a whimsical and imaginative group of classical musicians with a playful gangster twist. The scene is set in an old-world music hall with rich, vintage decor, where the musicians are performing in stylish 1920s-era gangster attire. The atmosphere is mysterious yet sophisticated, capturing the unique blend of classical music and a lighthearted gangster theme. – aka.attrition

Every Sunday morning we present selections for our TBP family to enjoy.

We present symphonies, ensembles, quartets, octets, etc.

Not all of our music is strictly ‘classical’. We may stray a little, but we strive to make all of our selections ‘classy’.

We offer tips on proper ‘symphony etiquette’ and even some selections that are a bit light-hearted and fun aimed at a younger audience. Those pieces will be so designated, and might be a good way to introduce kids to a world of music that they might not have been exposed to or think of as old and ‘stuffy’.

A full symphony will run as long as it will. We don’t want to cut a symphony short. However, we also include some shorter pieces that we try to keep under fifteen minutes in length. You can sample each and hopefully find one or more that pleases you.

We hope that you enjoy our Sunday selections.

Handel Water Music

Water parties were almost as popular as opera in Baroque Europe. The fame of Handel’s Water Music makes King George I’s pleasure trip up the Thames aboard the royal barge on July 17, 1717, seem somehow exceptional, but that was hardly the case. Pleasure boats and water music abounded at the royal courts of the age; one ruler in German-speaking central Europe with an abundance of time on his hands and cash in his coffers built miles of canals for water parties and mock naval battles.

But, of course, none of these princes had a composer of Handel’s stature in his service. Handel composed three suites of Water Music, just shy of an hour’s worth of music in all, for the royal water party in 1717. One participant, Louis Frederick Bonet, the Prussian Resident in London, described the event in his diary: “At about eight in the evening, the king repaired to his barge. Next to the king’s barge was that of the musicians, about 50 in number…. The music had been composed specially by the famous Handel…. His Majesty’s approval was so great that he caused it to be played three times in all, twice before and once after supper, even though each performance lasted an hour.”

Mozart: Symphony No. 35 Haffner | Bernard Haitink and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Multi-award-winning conductor Bernard Haitink leads the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. They perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Haffner Symphony.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, known as the Haffner Symphony, in 1782. As early as 1776 he had been commissioned to compose a serenade for the wedding of the Salzburg bridal couple Franz Xaver Späth and Maria Elisabeth Haffner, the daughter of Salzburg’s mayor Sigmund Haffner. The Haffner Serenade is Mozart’s most extensive serenade (KV 250) and has eight movements.

Six years later, he was to compose another serenade on the occasion of the award of the title of nobility “Edler von Innbachhausen” to Sigmund Haffner Junior. Mozart arranged it as a symphony by omitting the movements 2 to 4 or 5 of the serenade composed for Haffner’s wedding, thus creating an independent work.
