               FAMOUS GERMAN CONTEMPORARY SINGER







CLASSICAL GERMAN MUSIC                           
                      




The music has changed a lot in a few years.

The beginning of what we know like the german music could be in the 12th century compositions of mystic, abbes Hildegard of Blingen, who wrote a vareity of himns and other kinds of Christmas music.





German music can be divided in two groups:

+Classical music: Germans have made lots of the greatest operas of all time.In the period from Baroque to      Romantic lots of operas and  chorale have been made in german or translated to german because it was one of  the most important places for the classical music of those years.
   Also lots of great composers were born in germany or came there to make themselves famous or to get a    good education.
   The german classical music was revolutionized by Oswal Von Wolkenstein, who went through all Europe learning interesting technics and styles that he then brought back to germany and became famous.
   The main classical music they did was:

    -Chorale: It began in the 16th century,this type of music was more popular than catholic music, because it was vibrant and energetic, some composers that did this music were: Martin Luther (leader protestant reformation) and Heinrich Schutz. 


    -Opera: It was wolfgang Mozart who started the opera era in germany. Opera was very famous in Germany, and lots of german composers experimented with the sound of the opera, for example they put some electronic sounds. It also has quite a lot of opera houses, like: Munich State Theatre.


    -Baroque period: It was the first german music that used tonality and it had quite a lot of ornamantation. Its origins were in the north part of germany. The one composer that did the best job with the baroque music with no doubt was Johann Sebastian Bach.


    -Classical era: in the 18th century germany had become the center of orquestral music. Mozart also did classical music in his own style, he mixed german classical music with the northern Itlay one. when Mozart died Beethoven composed the best classical music.


    -Romantic era:  Beethoven and Franz Schubert, were the most famous composers of the Romantic era.




    -20th century: Lots of german composers emigrated to America because of the nazy party, the nazy party didn't like any type of music that had something to do with the jews.




















+Contemporary music: In the 20th century in berlin they went for a more populistic music, Kurt weill and   Paul Hindemith, who did socilist operas. Carl Orff had ideas from France, like the impressionist . So his   music was colorful with unusual combinations of instruments in his orchestra.
   Lots of the germans composers went to America when the nazis came to power, because the nazy party wanted to get rid of all the music that had something to do with Jews, communists or jazz.
   The largest summer festival for classical music is the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival.
   The main contemporany music:

    -Kabarett: It was the first type of pop german music, it started in the 1920, as the popular music they listened in clubs and diferent places, the young people.


    
-Swing movement: when germany was governed by Hitler, the Nazi party, the young people of germany became more independent and they started to make a fuss,they protested in the streets.But theire main point was the music, the protests were on the musical preferences and the Nazi party didn't like it a bit because they liked and listened to jazz and swing, that for the Nazis it's the worst of the music because jazz was the music their enemy listened and it was sung by the black people, the Nazis said it was the "Negro music".
