Classical Period
Known as the "Father of
Classical Music"
Franz Joseph Haydn
Born: March 31, 1732 Died: May 31, 1809
Classical period composer
Franz Joseph Haydn was born Rohrau, Austria. His parents noticed his exceptional
musical abilities at a young age and sent him to live with a relative, Johann Matthias
Frankh, at the age of six. The relative only lived 7.5 miles away, yet the young Haydn
never lived with his parents again. Haydn was recruited at the age of 8 to sing in the
choir at St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, where he went on to learn to play violin
and keyboard. After he left the choir, he supported himself by teaching and playing
violin, while continuing to study counterpart and harmony. Haydn soon became an
assistant to composer Nicola Porpora in exchange for lessons. In 1761, he was named
Kapellmeister, or "court musician" at the palace of the influential Esterházy family, a
position that financially supported him for nearly 30 years. Isolated at the palace
from other composers and musical trends, he was, as he put it, "forced to become
original."
As he rose in the Esterházy family's esteem, his popularity outside the palace walls
also increased, and he eventually wrote as much music for publication as he did for
the family. The Esterházy princes were musical connoisseurs who appreciated his work
and gave him daily access to his own small orchestra. Several important works of this
period were commissions from abroad, such as the Paris symphonies (1785-1786)
and the original orchestral version of "The Seven Last Words of Christ" (1786).
Haydn came to feel sequestered and lonely, however, missing friends back in Vienna,
such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, so in 1791, when a new Esterházy prince let
Haydn go, he quickly accepted an inviation to go to England to conduct new
symphonies.
Audiences flocked to Haydn's concerts, and during his time in England he generated
some of his best-known work, including the "Rider" quartet and the Surprise, Military,
Drumroll and London symphonies. In 1795 Haydn returned to Vienna and once again
took up his position with the Esterházy family, though only part-time. He remained on
staff until his death in 1809. He continued to write pieces and make public
appearances until his last performance on May 26, 1809, where he performed the
"Emperor's Hymn" three times with great gusto. Soon after, he collapsed and was
taken to what would be his deathbed. He died just a few days later on May 31,
1809.
