Maria Luigi Carlo Zenobio Salvatore Cherubini (8 or 14 Septembe r^[ 1760 – 15 March 1842) was an Italian Classical and Romantic composer. His most significant compositions are operas and sacred music. Beethoven regarded Cherubini as the greatest living composer of his era. Cherubini's operas were heavily praised and interpreted by Rossini.

Early years

Cherubini was born Maria Luigi Carlo Zenobio Salvatore Cherubini in Florence in 1760. There is uncertainty about his exact date of birth. Although 14 September is sometimes stated, evidence from baptismal records and Cherubini himself suggests the 8th is correct. Perhaps the strongest evidence is his first name, Maria, which is traditional for a child born on 8 September, the feast-day of the Nativity of the Virgin. His instruction in music began at the age of six with his father, Bartolomeo, maestro al cembalo ("Master of the harpsichord", in other words, ensemble leader from the harpsichord). Considered a child prodigy, Cherubini studied counterpoint and dramatic style at an early age. By the time he was thirteen, he had composed several religious works.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart^[a][b] (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition and proficiency from an early age resulted in more than 800 works representing virtually every Western classical genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, operatic, and choral repertoires. Mozart is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".

Born in Salzburg, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. At age five, he was already competent on keyboard and violin, had begun to compose, and performed before European royalty. His father, Leopold Mozart, took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position. Mozart's search for employment led to positions in Paris, Mannheim, Munich, and again in Salzburg, during which he wrote his five violin concertos, Sinfonia Concertante, and Concerto for Flute and Harp, as well as sacred pieces and masses, the motet Exsultate Jubilate, and the opera Idomeneo, among other works.

While visiting Vienna in 1781, Mozart was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He stayed in Vienna, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During Mozart's early years in Vienna, he produced several notable works, such as the opera Die Entführung aus dem Serail, the Great Mass in C minor, the "Haydn" Quartets and a number of symphonies. Throughout his Vienna years, Mozart composed over a dozen piano concertos, many considered some of his greatest achievements. In the final years of his life, Mozart wrote many of his best-known works, including his last three symphonies, culminating in the Jupiter Symphony, the serenade Eine kleine Nachtmusik, his Clarinet Concerto, the operas The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and The Magic Flute and his Requiem. The Requiem was largely unfinished at the time of his death at age 35, the circumstances of which are uncertain and much mythologised.

The Classical period was an era of classical music between roughly 1750 and 1820.^[1]

The classical period falls between the Baroque andc Romantic periods. It is mainly homophonic, using a clear melody line over a subordinate chordal accompaniment,^[2] but counterpoint was by no means forgotten, especially in liturgical vocal music and, later in the period, secular instrumental music. It also makes use of style galant which emphasizes light elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and impressive grandeur. Variety and contrast within a piece became more pronounced than before, and the orchestra increased in size, range, and power.

The harpsichord declined as the main keyboard instrument and superseded by the piano (or fortepiano). Unlike the harpsichord, which plucks strings with quills, pianos strike the strings with leather-covered hammers when the keys are pressed, which enables the performer to play louder or softer (hence the original name "fortepiano," literally "loud soft") and play with more expression; in contrast, the force with which a performer plays the harpsichord keys does not change the sound. Instrumental music was considered important by Classical period composers. The main kinds of instrumental music were the sonata, trio, string quartet, quintet, symphony (performed by an orchestra), and the solo concerto, which featured a virtuoso solo performer playing a solo work for violin, piano, flute, or another instrument, accompanied by an orchestra. Vocal music, such as songs for a singer and piano (notably the work of Schubert), choral works, and opera (a staged dramatic work for singers and orchestra), was also important during this period.

Franz Joseph Haydn   31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the string quartet and piano trio. His contributions to musical form have led him to be called "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String quartet".

Haydn arose from humble origins, the child of working people in a rural village. He established his career first by serving as a chorister at St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, then through an arduous period as a freelance musician. Eventually he found career success, spending much of his working life as music director for the wealthy Esterházy family at their palace of Eszterháza in rural Hungary. Though he had his own orchestra there, it isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". During this period his music circulated widely in publication, eventually making him the most celebrated composer in Europe. With the death of his primary patron Nikolaus Esterházy in 1790, Haydn was free to travel, and augmented his fame—now as a performer before the public—in both London and Vienna. The last years of his life (1803–1809) were spent in a state of debility, unable to compose due to poor health. He died in Vienna in 1809 at the age of 77.

POETRY  

               Fourth of July  2025

"Oh say can you see, by the dawn´s early light . . ." 

the Founding Fathers are present today like yesterday,

overwatching the spiritual wisdom within your souls,

enchanting the lyrics of righteousness and hope,

in the awakening of better days of glory,

in the sovereignty of faith and justice,

amongst and for the good causes,

awaiting the call of freedom as our blazing flag.

 

May your dreams become a new reality,

may you cherish the love for One as the whole, 

all the efforts are worth each minute of the hour,

"We the People" are entitled to such oath, 

as the night turns into day,

as you open The Book of all prayers,

wherein you touch the values above styles,

and you breathe the nature of life.

 

Behold, sing and stand up, along beloved ones.

FILOSOFIA - Nuestra Palabra

 

FILOSOFIA  

                              Nuestra Palabra 

La abundancia puede conducir a la vagancia ;

La vagancia conduce a la corrupción ;

La corrupción conduce a la miseria ;

La miseria genera el dolor ;

El dolor obliga a reflexionar ; 

La reflexión obliga a comprender ;

La comprensión trae el conocimiento ;

El conocimiento, a la sabiduría ;

La sabiduría hace al hombre feliz.

       Se está viviendo una etapa de abundancia económica, todo se obtiene fácilmente : cuidado . . . ! Esa abundancia de bienes materiales puede trocarse en maldición.

 

       Que esa abundancia, esa riqueza, se canalice, y tome el camino angosto de la vida austera para el bien de todos ; tener lo necesario y no más, es lo sabio y procedente cuando cuando se cree que se es rico . . . en dinero.

       Cuando se es rico de verdad, se ignora hasta donde se es rico, porque esa riqueza es imponderable ; si la riqueza es de dinero, el dinero despierta la ambición y la ambición ciega al hombre y lo atormenta y lo hace sentirse pobre, y cada vez quiere tener más . . . y más !

       Cuando se es rico de verdad, esa riqueza no puede perderse y se mata la ambición ; entonces los vicios no tentarán y la prudencia tocará a la puerta ; la sensibilidad hace que se atienda al llamado y la austeridad se impone ; entonces de la abundancia se salta a la reflexión, para comprender, a través del conocimiento de la abundancia interior, que la felicidad es riqueza interior y la abundancia de bienes materiales no da ni la paz ni es riqueza perdurable.

       Cuando se es rico, la riqueza no es de este mundo y se es inmensamente rico, porque la verdadera riqueza no crea apegos, porque se sabe por el conocimiento real que las riquezas de este mundo son del mundo y en él se quedan.

       Eres rico tú, que me estás leyendo ?

POESIA - Día del Periodista - 2025

 POESIA

                     Día del Periodista

                   en honor a cada uno, 

          presente o ausente, pero vigente

Qué maravilla es poder y saber informar,

apegado a la veracidad de un hecho, 

bien sea una idea, un acontecimiento o un proyecto,

y así nace la opinión o postura que tomar.

Siendo la base fundamental de la sociedad,

estar bien enterado de las noticias o sucesos,

ayuda en alto grado sopesar todas las variables, 

que nos orientan en la toma de decisiones.

Viéndolo en perspectiva, resulta muy relevante,

la calidad o modalidad para transmitir,

de manera imparcial, precisa y veraz,

cada articulo, micro o documental.

Reciba este reconocimiento cada profesional,

y así honramos al No. 1 del Correo del Orinoco,

apoyado por el Padre de la Patria, Simón Bolívar,

quien supo dignificar la Verdad, de manera cabal.

Y a cada uno que vuelca su formación académica

hacia mensajes de importancia en cada momento,

vaya nuestro sincero y formal agradecimiento,

de cada lector u oyente, por su aporte a una nación mejor.
