The Complete History of Western Music (Abridged) by Audrey Snyder
May 31, 2011

Conducted by Chris Calderone
Accompanied by Jen Midura

Lyrics:
This is the story
This is the story
This is the story of musical history
about composes concertos and symphonies
This is the tale of western music written down.

Gregorian, Gregorian chant
The starting place where all of this began
A simple line of melody
With precious little harmony

The Renaissance developed next (fa la la la)
With madrigals and sweet motets (fa la la la)
Palestrina was the man, along with Gabrieli
Morley and di Lasso too,
Byrd and Monteverdi

Then came the style of the Baroque
with the fugue and the tocata
prelude, too, and the cantata.

Classical when powdered wigs were hot
Minuets and trios hit the spot

Mozart, Haydn, Gluck to name just three,
could write a symphony
and spin a melody
They defined the music of the eighteenth century.

Beethoven, Beethoven was cool way back then.

Enter Brahms and his friends (Mendelssohn, Schubert and Bruckner)
the Romantic composers
Where emotion was the key
to expansive melodies

And richer harmonies.


Ah! Contemporary music...
Ah! Contemporary music...
Something unusual then occurred
twelve-tone tunes by Schoenberg!

Bartok, Gershwin, Copland, Britten
and Igor Stravinsky,
bring us to composers writing
future music history!
