Haydn - Symphony No. 6 "Le Matin" - Mov. 3-4/4

FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN (1732-1809)

Symphony No. 6 for flute, two oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, violin concertante, cello concertante, strings, and double bass in D major "Le Matin" (The Morning) Hob 1:6

3. Menuetto avec Trio

4. Finale: Allegro

Performed by the Freiburger Barockorchester

*Haydn wrote this, his first symphonic work for his new employer Prince Nikolaus Eszterházy, in the spring of 1761, shortly after joining the court. The Eszterházys maintained in permanent residence an excellent chamber orchestra and with his first contribution for it in the symphonic genre, Haydn fully exploited the talents of the players. In this, Haydn was consciously drawing on the familiar tradition of the concerto grosso, exemplified by the works of Antonio Vivaldi, Giuseppe Tartini, and Tomaso Albinoni then much in vogue at courts across Europe.

Nikolaus Eszterházy had a fondness for programme music of this kind. Amongst the scores owned by the court musical establishment were Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"; and in 1748 the prince's Kapellmeister Gregor Joseph Werner had composed a "Musikalischer Instrumental-Kalender' on all twelve months.

They had Haydn employed in their estate for 30 years, so I guess they must have enjoyed it immensely! :)

Love the trio in the Minuet and the last movement. Thank you for posting HIP performances of these symphonies, I cannot listen to any other type of recording after experiencing this.

This sucks.

It seems to be the one starting at 4:14-4:15.

The spanish influence detected by fairyboy3 might be Haydn's interweaving of the folkische musics he heard nightly when his father Matais would play harp and sing for his brood. That steppes dancing beat is not unique to any culture anywhere travellers unpack and make their hearth for a time.

It saddens me little that Papa Haydn lies in the crypt of a townie, for he believed and when his Christ returns Joe will finally dance with the peasantry he was so afraid would debase him.

I completely forgot. Could you tell me when movement 4 starts in the video?

Excuse me HARMONIC101. I have to do this song for a school assignment and it's really good.Are all the instruments in the description? If there is more instruments could you give me a list of instruments that are in this song. Just leave the list by commenting on the page.

El equilibrio y la contención también pueden conmover.

This is great. I usually go for the more violin oriented composers like Mendelssohn or Paganini but for a wind instrument based symphony this is as good as it gets.
