The band consisted of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. Starr played drums, the other three played guitar. Lennon and McCartney wrote most of the songs. All the Beatles were born in Liverpool in the north of England. During the early 1960s, the Beatles were influenced by American rock singers, such as Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. They had their first hit in 1962 with a catchy song called Love Me Do (1962). In 1964, after they had become stars in their own country, the Beatles toured the United States and were a huge success. During the mid-1960s, the Beatles were one of the bands which gave rock music a new direction. Some of their songs were quite serious, such as Nowhere Man; there were ballads such as Yesterday and more complex songs such as Strawberry Fields Forever. By the late 1960s, their music had changed completely. They had stopped writing simple songs with catchy tunes. The tunes and the lyrics had become more interesting and they had begun to use new instruments, too. For example, after visiting India, they started using Indian instruments. Some of their albums changed pop music completely. Their last album was Let It Be in 1970.

To me, life without music would not be exciting. I realize that this is not true for everybody. Many people get along quite well without going to the concert, and listening to the record. But music plays an important part in everyone's life, whether he realizes it or not. Try to imagine, for example, what films or TV plays would be like without music. Would the feelings, the moving plot, and the greatest interests, be so exciting or dramatic? I'm not sure about it.
Now, we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall. But if we look at some parts of music more closely, we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea, the melody of a bird in the woods and so on. So music surely has meaning for everyone, in some way or other. And, of course, it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, “Through music a child enters into a world of beauty, expresses himself from his heart, feels the joy of doing things alone, learns to take care of others, develops his mind and makes his body strong.”
1. What dose the writer say more about in the text?
A. Life full of music.
B. Life without music.
C. The importance of music.
D. The development of music.
2. From the text, we learn that many people________.
A. don't realize the importance of music
B. get along quite well without music
C. go to the concert instead of enjoying music
D. think music would be less exciting than films
3. What does the underlined word “melody” mean in the text?
A. flying B. looking C. singing D. living
4. From the last paragraph, we learn that music________.
A. is very important, especially for children
B. is very necessary for our everyday life
C. can make our life exciting and dramatic
D. can enter into another beautiful world
5. What's the meaning for those who work on playing or writing music?
A. They treat music as their life.
B. They regard music as part of their life.
C. They don't think music is important.
D. They think it's only their job.
B
You may take TV for granted. Why? Most people have a TV and watch it every day. But if you were born 100 years ago, you would not be able to watch TV. You wouldn't even know what TV is!
In the 19th century, scientists started to think about how to make machines that send pictures a long way. In 1900, they thought of a word for this kind of machine – television. Since then, many people around the world have tried to build a TV.
One early inventor was a Scottish engineer named John Logie Baird. He built the first TV in Britain in 1926. On his television, people could see a person's face. But the face was not very clear and couldn't move.
Around the same time, in 1927, American Philo Farnsworth built the first modern television. His television only showed a simple black line. It didn't have any sound but the picture could move.
Farnsworth was only 20 when he built the first television. But he was not the only inventor of TV. Russian Vladimir Zworkin also invented many important things.
Over the next few years, televisions really started to improve. In the 1930s, people began to make TV programmes. In 1938, families could buy televisions and watch them at home.
The early televisions were black and white, and there were only a few channels (频道). Some of them had to be used with a radio so that people could listen as well as see. Later, people could buy colour televisions. By 1967, most TV programmes were in colour.
6. This passage mainly tells us ____.
A. what a television is
B. how a television works
C. how the television was invented
D. why it is good to watch television
7. Which of the following statements is true about the first television?
A. It was made in China.
B. It could show clear pictures.
C. It was invented by an engineer.
D. The pictures on it could move.
8. The first modern television was better than the old ones because ____.
A. it only showed a black line.
B. it showed pictures with sounds
C. the pictures were in colour
D. the pictures could move
9. The underlined word "improve" means "____" here.
A. get better B. impossible
C. important D. sell well
C

There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still.
On the far side of the water is some farmland and further away, across the field, is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted(半融化的) snow from last winter on the ground.
The reason why the water is so clear, and everything is so quiet and still, is that most of the plants and animals life in and around the lake are dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects(昆虫), which the birds need for food, have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark(树皮), and are sick and dying, others were blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in the field planting something, but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year, the crop will be between 25 to 40 percent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the lower ones are repaired soon, it will fall down.
All the death and destruction in this place are caused by the smoke coming out of factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway.
14. What time of the year do you think it is?
A. Spring. B . Summer.
C. Autumn. D. Winter.
15. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake? Because_________.
A. the weather is terribly cold
B. the lake is quiet
C. the area is polluted
D. they have all been killed
16. Why does the farmer have to plant a stronger kind of seed? Because_________.
A. the soil becomes less and less
B. few plant life can stand the weather there
C. the water in the lake can't be used to irrigate the field
D. the soil there is becoming unfit for farming

第一节 阅读表达题
阅读下文,完成所给题目。
Adam Thomas, 17, has had just one job in the past three years, packing CDs for £3.07 an hour. After having to cope with endless quarrells at home, which affected his behaviour and attendance at school, he was excluded for ever at the age of 14, and disappeared from the education system without a single GCSE(General Certificate of Secondary Education )to his name.
Adam feels deeply let down. He says no effort was made to support him at school and knows that his prospects for future employment have been spoiled. He's not alone. Amid the annual hullabaloo(喧嚣)surrounding ever-better GCSE and A-level grades, an untrumpeted 5% of school leavers, or just over 30,000 young people, will appear from the education system with no qualifications at all.
"At the time I didn't realise how difficult it would be without any GCSEs. I've been for about 12 or 13 jobs and didn't get any of them - and they were only factory work - because I've got no qualifications," says Adam.
"How it happened was I didn't get on with the teachers. I was having fights with everyone. I think I was attention-seeking, and then I just got angry with myself.
"I started home tuition, but that didn't work out because the teacher kept arriving half an hour late, so I was getting about 20 minutes of education at a time; maybe a bit more than an hour in total each week. In the end, I said forget it. Then I got dismissed. I felt upset really, because there were naughty boys, a lot worse than me, getting locked up every week, and they've come away with rubbish grades, but at least they've got some GCSEs and I've come away with _________________________".

Music is an international language. The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students listen to music with ear-phones before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.
Popular music singers make much money. They make CDs or tapes which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her CDs or tapes. Some of the money from these CDs or tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.
There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It is .called stories about the ordinary life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
The very formal and serious music for concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music, such as the symphonies of Beethoven. There is opera for singers. There is ballet (芭蕾舞剧) for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4: 00. Since I work from 9 o'clock to 5: 30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner. There was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theater in exactly twenty minutes, When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, 1 caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive. When I got to the theater, I saw that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing all the same time. Or there may be one square of eight people.
Costumes are worn by those who do the square-dance. This makes the dancing more
colourful to watch. Women often wear full skirts of different colours with a pretty blouse. Men may have coloured shirts and western trousers they wear only when they are square-dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.

(1770-1827)
S1: They were Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
T: Then do you know what they are famous for?
S2: Joseph Haydn is known as “the father of the symphony”. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is known for his musical genius. And Beethoven is famous for his world-class piano pieces.
T: How much do you know about their background?
S3: Haydn was born in a village in Austria, the son of a peasant. He had a beautiful voice. Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. By the time he was four, he had composed many pieces for the harpsichord, piano and violin, as well as for orchestras. Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany. He showed musical talent when he was very young, and learned to play the violin and piano from his father.
T: Good. They are all world-class musicians. They brought beautiful music to the world. If you want to know more about them, let’s do some reading.
Step III Reading
Task 1 Fast reading
Read the text quickly to get the main idea and choose the best title.
T: Please open your books and turn to Page 22. Now read the text as quickly as possible to get the main idea of the text and do Activity 2. I will give you ten minutes.
Ten minutes later.
T: OK! Time’s up. Who would like to tell me the main idea of the text?
S1: Let me have a try. This text tells of three great musicians who did great contributions to the world.
T: You have done a good job. Then who would like to tell me which the best title of the text should be?
S2: I choose the second one: Three Great Composers of the Eighteenth Century
T: You are right.
Task 2 Careful reading
Let the Ss read the text again and then finish Activities 3 & 4 on Page 23.
T: This time please read the text carefully. After that, deal with Activities 3 & 4. I will give you five minutes.
Five minutes later.
T: Have you finished?
Ss: Yes.
Check the answers.
Task 3 Language points
1. ... but he changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra.
“Change ... into ... ”means “turn ... into ...”.
2. After studying music in Vienna, Haydn went to work at the court of a prince in eastern Austria, where he became director of music.
The word “where” introduces the attributive clause and modifies “Austria”.
3. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressed with him.
“Be impressed with” means “have a favorable effect on sb”.
4. However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.
“It was ... who ... ”is the pattern of emphasis. The subject of the sentence is stressed, and the original order is: Haydn encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna.
5. As he grew older, he began to go deaf.
“Go deaf” means “become unable to hear at all or to hear well”. Here the word “go” is a link verb, and it is equal to the word “become”.
Task 4 Discussion
Let the Ss read through Questions 2 & 3 in Activity 5. Then put them into groups of four to discuss these two questions. After that, ask some Ss to present their answers.
T: Turn to Page 24 and read through the Questions 2 & 3 in Activity 5. Please discuss them in groups of four. I will give you six minutes.
Six minutes later.
T: Have you finished?
Ss: Yes.
T: OK! Do you think it is important to know something about classical music?
S: I think it is necessary. Nowadays more and more people begin to listen to pop music. Many of them think classical music is too difficult to understand, so they don’t get touch with classical music. In fact, listening to classical music is a pleasure. While you listen to it, you can feel something the composer wants to convey. If you know something about classical music, you will try your best to understand the content of the pieces. And thus the treasures these famous musicians left to us will be made use of.
T: Very good. Do you think Chinese classical music is different from European classical music? If so, can you explain how?
S: I think Chinese classical music is quite different from European classical music. Perhaps it is caused by the different cultures they belong to.
Step IV Post-reading
Task 1 Text retelling
Ask the Ss to retell the text using about 150 words.
A sample version:
Joseph Haydn was an Austrian composer and is known as “the father of the symphony”. He changed the symphony into a long piece for a large orchestra. He was the son of a peasant. Having worked in eastern Austria for 30 years, Haydn moved to London, where he was very successful.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was possibly the greatest musical genius of all time. He was born in Salzburg, Austria. Wolfgang had musical talent from a very early age. By the time he was 14, Mozart had composed many pieces for the harpsichord, piano and violin, as well as for orchestras. Haydn met Mozart in 1781 and was very impressed with him.
Ludwig van Beethoven showed musical talent when he was very young and learned to play the violin and piano from his father. Beethoven met Haydn in 1791, but was not impressed by the older man. However, it was Haydn who encouraged Beethoven to move to Vienna. As he grew older, he began to go deaf.
Task 2 Writing techniques of the text
T: Now let’s analyze the writing techniques of the text. Who would like to tell us its writing characteristics?
S1: Let me have a try. First, the excellent beginning of the personal introduction can arouse the readers’ strong curiosity and interest. Second, the text has a very good structure of the personal introduction. Their background, their achievements and their experiences are well organized.
T: Thank you. Then what is the writing style?
S2: This text is a personal introduction. In each part of the text, the author introduces their birthplaces, their achievements, their musical backgrounds and their deaths, etc.
T: Good. The last question: What is the purpose of the writer to write the text?

Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin
Perhaps the greatest of all composers for the piano. Called a “musical genius” when he was a teenager, Chopin composed a remarkable variety of brilliant pieces: warlike polonaises, elegant waltzes, romantic nocturnes, and poetic ballads and studies. He began to take piano lessons when he was 6 years old. He started to compose music even before he knew how to write. After giving two very successful concerts at the age of 19, Chopin began writing pieces in his own original piano style. After 1930, he lived in Paris, where he gave lessons and concerts. He died of tuberculosis, at the age of 39.
Read and then decide if the statements are true or false.
1. He did not compose any music about waltzes. (F)

Step II Writing
The purpose of this writing is to let the Ss describe their favorite music by answering an e-mail. First, let them read the passage, and then they should write another passage by answering the questions.
T: Please turn to Page 25. Read the e-mail and then write down your replies according to the questions followed. I will give you five minutes.
Five minutes later.
T: All right, stop here. Have you finished it? I’ll ask some of you to read your short passages.
S1: I like music very much, almost every kind of music — classical, rock, jazz and so on. I like the popular music best. I usually listen to music at home on my CD Discman. I think I am not musical, because I cannot sing or play a musical instrument. I just take listening to music as a way to relax myself.
S2: In my opinion, music is very important, so I like it very much. My favorite kind of music is traditional Chinese music. I like the instruments very much. And I don’t like the rock and jazz music, because they are too noisy. At school, I listen to my Walkman after class, and when I am at home, I listen to MP3. So I like my MP3 very much. To be frank, I am musical, I like singing and I can play the piano. If time permits, I hope I can give a performance.
T: Excellent! All of you have done a good job.
Step III Task
The purpose of this writing task is to let the Ss present a biography of a famous Chinese musician and encourage the Ss to love traditional Chinese music.
T: In this module, we have learned about several musicians, so we are going to write a biography of a Chinese musician. First you should read the notes about the composers in this module.
S: Can I make notes about the composer I want to talk about?
T: Of course! When you do this, you can use the time expressions in Grammar 1. Now you can work together with those who choose the same composer with you. Then you should find photographs and news items about the composer. Each person in the group should talk about something different about the composer. You should find the information about his works, his biographical details, his family and home life.
Ten minutes later.
T: Have you finished? Now who would like to read your composition? Each group can choose one representative.
S1: Let me try. Here is our composition. We talked about Nie Er.
Nie Er, the famous musician in the history of China, was born in 1912 in Yunnan Province. He went to Japan in 1934, because he planned to visit Russia and Europe to study. Unfortunately, he drowned in Japan. By the time he died, he had written many songs, including <毕业歌>,<大路歌>,<码头工人歌> and <义勇军进行曲>. The last one was set as the national song and now is sung every day. So from this point, we think he is one of the most famous musicians in China.
S2: Here we talked about another famous musician — Wang Luobin.
Wang Luobin was also very famous and great. His original name was Rongting, and he was born on 28th of December in 1913 in Beijing. In 1934, he graduated from the Music Department of Beijing Normal University. After graduation, he devoted himself to the war against Japanese. He wrote many good and famous songs, including <在那遥远的地方>,<半个月亮爬上来>,<达坂城的姑娘> and <阿拉木罕>. Most of his songs are about the western parts, so he was called “Father of Western Folk Songs”. In all, he had three children, and after his death, his family became poorer. In conclusion, we think he is great, and should be remembered forever.
S3: We think the popular singer Liu Huan is also great, so we want to talk about him.
Liu Huan, the prince of pop singers in China, is famous for his beautiful songs such as “The Sun in My Heart” and “A Crescent Moon”. He is able to sing songs of different styles, ranging from pop to rock, and from Chinese folk songs to songs in foreign languages. He is a writer, composer, singer, and producer in one song. He achieved great success for the songs he wrote for the TV series“Beijingers in New York”. He was also invited to write and sing songs for international sports meetings, including the 11th Asian Games. Liu Huan is a man of many abilities who is also interested in many other things such as tourism, literature and fine arts. Here we have got a picture of his home, very grand, isn’t it?
T: Superb! You have done very well.
Step IV Speaking and Writing
Ask the Ss to read a reader’s letter on an Internet music website and find out the detailed information. Then let them write a letter to the Internet music website to show their feelings about music.
T: Please turn to Page 84. Now read the letter and then answer the 6 questions in Exercise 15.

T: Ok, have you read the letter?
Ss: Yes.
T: Have you found the answers? Three minutes for you to discuss. Now work in groups.

T: Excellent! Now, we’ll come to Exercise 18. It’s your turn to write a letter to the Internet music website. Use the letter in Exercise 17 as a model.
...
A sample version:
Hello,
My name is Nancy; I am a middle school student. I am in grade one, class 14. I like music very much. In my life, music is so important that I cannot live without it, even one day. Every morning, as soon as I open my eyes, I turn on the recorder, and then go to wash face while listening. Then I go to school and listen to my Walkman on my way. Of course, in classes I cannot listen to music. But during the breaks, listening to music is my way to relax, and all my classmates like it very much, so we share the music. I am proud of myself a bit.
At night, when I go to bed, I like listening to music for a little while because this helps me fall asleep easily.
Among all kinds of music, I like pop music and traditional Chinese music best. My favorite singer is Cai Yilin, just because she is beautiful. I like her songs. What’s more, I like listening to the songs of Deng Lijun, they can make me relaxed.
So much, bye!
Nancy

附 件
The Beatles
The Beatles was undoubtedly the most influential band of the century. In a course of 8 years, they changed not only rock and roll, but also the face of all music forever.
John Lennon (John Winston Lennon) — born October 9, 1940, Liverpool, England — died December 8, 1980, New York, USA
Paul McCartney (James Paul McCartney) — born June 18, 1942, Liverpool, England
George Harrison — born February 25, 1943, Liverpool, England — died November 30, 2001, Los Angeles, USA
Ringo Starr (Richard Starkey) — born July 7,1940, Dingle, Liverpool, England
Towards the end of 1962, the Beatles broke through to the UK charts with their debut single, Love Me Do. On February 13, 1963 the Beatles appeared on UK television’s Thank Your Lucky Stars to promote their new single, Please Me, and were seen by six million viewers. It was a pivotal moment in their career, at the start of a year in which they would spearhead a working-class assault on music, fashion and the peripheral arts. After seven weeks at the top with From Me To You, they released the strident, wailing She Loves You, a rocker with the catchphrase Yeah, Yeah, Yeah that was echoed in ever more frequent newspaper headlines. It was at this point that the Beatles became a household name. She Loves You was replaced by I Want to Hold Your Hand, which had UK advance sales of over one million and entered the charts at Number 1. In November of 1963 I Want to Hold Your Hand became a number-one hit in America. To the American teens their long hair, collarless suits, and Beatle boots were irresistible. The press loved the way they could always come up with something witty and charming for them to quote. All in all the Beatles took America by storm.
Paperback Writer was another step forward, with its gloriously elaborate harmonies and charmingly prosaic theme. It was soon followed by a double-sided chart-topper, Yellow Submarine / Eleanor Rigby, the former a self-created nursery rhyme sung by Starr, complete with mechanical sounds, and the latter a brilliantly orchestrated narrative of loneliness, untainted by mawkishness. Their first recording to be released was Penny Lane / Strawberry Fields Forever, which broke their long run of consecutive UK number-one hits. The Beatles continued on, with McCartney stepping up and trying to take over the management role. But during this time their lives began to go in different directions. Lennon met artist Yoko Ono, George was seeking enlightenment from Ravi Shankar, and Paul fell into the arms of photographer Linda Eastman.
In 1968 the Beatles became increasingly involved with the business of running their company, Apple Corps. The first Apple single, Hey Jude, was a warm-hearted ballad that progressed over its seven-minute duration into a rousing singalong finale. Amid the uncertainty of 1969, the Beatles enjoyed their final UK Number 1 with Ballad of John and Yoko, on which only Lennon and McCartney performed.
With various solo projects on the horizon, the Beatles stumbled through 1970, their disunity betrayed to the world in the depressing film Let It Be, which shows Harrison and Lennon clearly unhappy about McCartney’s attitude towards the band. Releasing album after album and motion pictures, the Beatles were indeed on top of the world. But in August, 1969 Lennon announced that he wanted a divorce from the group, the band was finished. He insisted, however, that the break up remain quiet. It was kept hidden until April 10, 1970 when McCartney decided to formally dissolve the group. Many blamed the break up of the Beatles on Yoko Ono and Linda McCartney. Others felt that the Beatles had run their course, and it was just their time. Whatever was the cause of their break up, it ended an era but left behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.
Joseph Haydn
Nothing in Haydn’s early years or in his family history indicated that he might attain such heights of fame. He was born in 1732 in the Austrian village of Rohrau, in a corner of the country far nearer to Hungary than to the Alps. The composer’s father, Mathias, worked in that profession, yet he also harbored a love of music, and developed a small talent for singing and playing the harp. Joseph was given extensive training as a singer, and served as one of the Cathedral’s principal soloists, yet voice was not his only area of study. He also learned harpsichord, organ, violin, a little music theory, and a great deal of Latin. Nicola Porpora, the great librettist and court poet Metastasio, and the dowager Princess Esterházy who, it is presumed, eventually brought the talented young musician to the attention of her sons.
Responsibilities included composing, performing, and conducting music entertain the court. It was a good position for a young man, but the term of employment would be brief. The court was fiscally impractical, and soon could no longer afford to maintain an orchestra. Haydn would write his First Symphony in the fall of 1759. In this same year, Prince Nikolaus built his palace of Esterháza in the countryside near Lake Neusiedler about thirty miles south of Vienna. There he installed Haydn and all the musicians.
Haydn’s growing reputation was acknowledged in a new contract that he signed with the Esterházys on January 1, 1779, when at last, after fifteen years of exclusive employment, he was given the right to compose for other potential patrons, not merely for Prince Nikolaus. This alteration in the arrangement allowed Haydn to earn a tidy extra income, and it permitted his works to gain a wider audience. Thus, it was that in 1782, he composed three symphonies (No. 76-78) for a planned English excursion that was eventually cancelled. In 1784, the new highly regarded composer received another commission from a concert promoter in Paris requesting a set of six symphonies. Haydn put some of his best effort into the project. The resulting symphonies, No. 82 through 87 (including the so-called “Bear”, “Hen” and “Queen of France” symphonies), premiered the following year.
Haydn remained productive nearly to the end of his life. Yet the principal role that he played in these last years was neither that of composer nor that of Kapellmeister. He had become, most important, Vienna’s grand old man of music: an inspiration to younger generations, a man internationally revered even by unmusical souls. In May 1809, when Napoleon’s armies captured the city of Vienna after an intense bombardment, Napoleon himself ordered that an honor guard be placed outside the home where the master composer lay on his deathbed. Haydn passed away on May 31, 1809, at the age of seventy-seven. At his memorial service two weeks later, Mozart’s Requiem was sung in Vienna’s Schottenkirche. Haydn’s remains now lie in the Bergkirche in Eisenstadt, a short distance from the Esterházy palace where he had spent his last working years.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)
He showed musical gifts at a very early age, composing when he was five and when he was six playing before the Bavarian elector and the Austrian empress. Mozart astonished his audiences with his precocious skills; he played to the French and English royal families, had his first music published and wrote his earliest symphonies.
They spent 1769 in Salzburg; 1770-1773 paid three visits to Italy, where Mozart wrote two operas (Mitridate, Lucio Silla). Summer 1773 paid a further visit to Vienna, there Mozart wrote a set of string quartets and, on his return, wrote a group of symphonies including his two earliest, No. 25 in G Minor and 29 in A, in the regular repertory. The period from 1774 to mid-1777 was spent in Salzburg; his works of these years include masses, symphonies, all his violin concertos, six piano sonatas, several serenades and divertimentos and his first great piano concerto, K271.
Paris: there he had minor successes, notably with his Paris Symphony, No. 31, deftly designed for the local taste. But opera remained at the center of his ambitions, and an opportunity came with a commission for a serious opera for Munich. The work, Idomeneo, was a success. In it Mozart depicted serious, heroic emotion with a richness unparalleled elsewhere in his works, with vivid orchestral writing and an abundance of profoundly expressive orchestral recitative.
In his early years in Vienna, Mozart built up his reputation by publishing (sonatas for piano, some with violin), by playing the piano and, in 1782, by having an opera performed: Die Entführung aus dem Serail. The work was successful and was taken into the repertories of many provincial companies. In these years, he wrote six string quartets, which he dedicated to the master of the form, Haydn. Haydn told Mozart’s father that Mozart was the greatest composer known to him in person or by name; he had taste and, what was more, the greatest knowledge of composition.
He wrote 15 before the end of 1786, with early 1784 as the peak of activity. In 1786 he wrote the first of his three comic operas with Lorenzo da Ponte as librettist, Le nozze di Figaro, here and in Don Giovanni (given in Prague, 1787) Mozart treated the interplay of social and sexual tensions with keen insight into human character that — as again in the more artificial sexual comedy of Cosi fan tutte (1790) — transcends the comic framework, just as Die Zauberflite (1791) transcends, with its elements of ritual and allegory about human harmony and enlightenment, the world of the Viennese popular theatre from which it springs.
Mozart lived in Vienna for the rest of his life. He undertook a number of journeys. The last Prague journey was for the premiere of La clemenza di Tito (1791), a traditional serious opera written for coronation celebrations, but composed with a finesse and economy characteristic of Mozart’s late music. He left unfinished the Requiem, his first large-scale work for the church since the C Minor Mass of 1783, also unfinished; a completion by his pupil Süssmayr was long accepted as the standard one but there have been recent attempts to improve on it. Mozart was buried in a Vienna suburb, with little ceremony and in an unmarked grave, in accordance with prevailing custom.
