Franz Peter Shubert, was an Austrian composer, who in his 32 years of life, wrote 600 songs, 9 symphonies and more. The Unfinished Symphony being one of his more famous works. To find out more about Shubert, one can visit the library or check one of the many online sites that tell his story.

The original, official name for The Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte is Day-O. There are indications it had no official title at first and began as a call-response by Jamaican banana workers.

Chopin

Handle composed The Water Music, which is a orchestral suite. This piece was composed in 1717 for a royal barage trip with king george I up the river Thames to Chelsea (in London).

Originally, the song 'Enjoy the Silence' was written by Martin Gore in 1990 and performed with his band collegues from Depeche Mode. The song has been covered since then numerous times by a number of different bands, and is one of the most famous songs by Depeche Mode.

Torte a la Wieck, it was a delicate pastry lined with cream.

Robert R. McCammon wrote Swan Song, a story depicting a scene set after a nuclear fallout in a dystopian setting that will leave you feeling at the edge of your seat!

I know Jacqueline Batell's chanson 'Espoir' (sung by Charles Trenet)

and I found her portrait on a 1930 poster:

In the Baroque era the concerto had not been formalized as it would become with Haydn and Mozart. The sonata form had not been invented yet. Typically it was in three movements, as it would continue to be, but the solo part was more intricately woven with the accompanying ensemble. The two outer movements were fast, and the middle was slow, usually a long drawn melody from the soloist with bare accompaniment, sometimes short, sometimes little more than a few chords. Bach's Brandenburg Concertos and all of Vivaldi's concerti, including The Four Seasons, followed this arrangement.

Anything that rhymes with bark; dark, park, quark, lark, mark.

You are experiencing an idee fixe when you hear a recurring melody in a programmatic piece like symphony fantastic. The piece is an epic for a large orchestra.

Tchaikovsky wrote three ballets, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and The Sleeping Beauty. Some of his non-ballet music has also been used by choreographers for their own made-up ballets.

Joseph Haydn was known for his robust sense of humour, and had a love for pulling pranks. He often pulled pranks even well into his adulthood, and musicologists have found that he was fond of irony as well - this is evident in some of his symphonies. It has also been said that if he came across a problem (e.g. he had writer's block) he would solve it with a joke and finally get an idea. Despite being funny he was also an honest, caring and loving man and was often called Papa Haydn as people often came to him to ask for advice. He was also a hard worker and worked for what he wanted to achieve.

No. Tchaikovsky was a Russian composer.

There are pieces of a work called Olav Trygvason, but only three scenes were ever completed. Apart from that, Grieg never composed another opera. He did however write incidental music to a play by Henrik Ibsen known as Peer Gynt, but this is not technically an opera since there wasn't a voice part.

Beethoven's second symphony was simply called Symphony No. 2 in D major, op.36 (1802).

Don'tnow for sure, but its playing currently (8/2012) and the guy looks just like Jack Wagnes with a wavy perm.

To tell you the truth, this song hasn't been identified yet. As of the writing of this article, the soundtrack for Californication season 5 hasn't been released yet so this is mostly speculation. RZA, a.k.a Samurai Apocalypse, does play the piano in real life so it is possible that the tune is his own creation. As for Kali, portrayed by Meagan Good, we're unsure as to whether she sings or not in this episode but it's a safe bet to assume that she doesn't. Earlier in the season, in episode 2, Nikki Leonti fills in for the vocal so it's a possibility that Leonti also does this one. That song was named Strand Me Here.

Yes!

What types of ensembles did Mozart write for?

Mozart wrote music for pretty much every ensemble, but mostly string ensembles, chamber orchestras and symphony orchestras.

~Please stop asking this question. I answered the exact same one three times already.

It was written by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, to commemorate the Battle of Borodino, which was the Russian victory over Napoleon in 1812.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart died in Vienna, Austria, on December 5, 1791.

Carl Czerny was born in the year 1791 and died in 1857, which means that he lived during the classical era of art music which is generally accepted as being between 1750 and 1830. Even though he lived for twenty years after the classical era finished, he is still considered to be a classical composer due to his style of composition.

Tchaikovsky died from cholera, which was epidemic at that time. There is controversy over whether he committed suicide by purposely drinking unboiled water to contract the disease.
