Johann Strauss II

booby Alan is Joseph Strauss father

He was of the late romantic/early modern era, and was mainly famous for his orchestral "Tone Poems", a kind of through composed symphony styled peice which told a story e.g. Til Eulenshpiel (sorry for the bad spelling).

Try theme from Exodus. Nice Tune Terry. Nope, not even close dude! I figured it out on my own-- it's a thing by a Mexican composer named Juventino Rosas, called "Sobre las Olas" (Over the Waves). Thanx for trying, anyway. Bob C.

romantic era

Yes!

Johann Strauss Jr. had three brothers: Joseph, Eduard, and Johann Strauss III. While Joseph and Eduard were also involved in music, Johann Strauss III did not achieve the same level of fame as his brother Johann Jr. Each brother contributed to the family's musical legacy in different ways.

In those days, they had conservatories and universities. There were no grammar or high schools. Most composers of that era were taught at home by their parents or close relatives.

The romantic period

The opening note of RichardStrauss' symphonic tone poem "Also Sprach Zarathustra", written in 1896, is played by a pipe organ. The very low C natural is produced by a reed vibrating an air column within a 32 foot length of pipe producing a pitch of 32 cycles per seconds, just into the realm of human pitch differentiation of low sound frequencies. The progression of tones following the opening C natural (all of the following pitches are natural unless otherwise specified) follow the ascending natural harmonic series of C to C (perfect octave), C to G (perfect fifth), G to C (perfect fourth) and the inevitable major/minor dichotomy of western music the C to E natural (major third) and quickly from E natural to E flat (minor). Then the pattern is repeated until the reverse occurs from E flat (minor) to E natural (major). By the way, there is another almost forty minutes of music after the brief introduction made famous by the movie,2001, A Space Odyssey.

This march was composed to celebrate Franz Josef's ascending the throne in 1848. During the 1848 Revolution the Austrian royal family went to Innsbruck in the Tirol. Another, even better known march by Johann Strauss, Senior is the "Radetzkty-Marsch" (1848) which celebrates Radetzky's suppression of the 1848 revolution in Lombardy and Northern Italy. Radetzsky returned to Vienna from Milan.

The historical-political information is correct but does not relate to the Rettungs-Jubel-Marsch itself which Johann Strauss the younger wrote in 1853 to celebrate the official recovery of the young Emperor Franz Joseph from an assassination attempt on 18 February 1853 when he was stabbed in the neck by a Hungarian conspirator Johann Libény.

the waltz king

The Skaters' Waltz was composed in 1882 by Emil Waldteufel.

The genre of the Blue Danube is waltz. This piece was written by Johann Strauss II. He was an Austrian composer who rote The Blue Danube in 1867.

Walking through the forest, Strauss heard a bird chirping "bom bom bom bom" (the part where violins play 1-2-3-4) And the rest came naturally!

Danube River (Blue Danube Waltz)

Wunderbar is not based on a Strauss waltz, although its composer was Viennese. It was written by Robert Katscher, 1894 - 1942, and was appropriated, with credit by Cole Porter for Kiss Me Kate.

I believe no body may disclose exactly what impressed Strauss II, when he was looking to Blue Danube river, to croon the song. But some, in common sense, may imagine and assume the flow and waves of the blue water together with the beautiful scenery have been the exciting cause of crooning, specially if he has been in a cheerful mood at the same time. So, then he composed and completed the Waltz and named it Blue Danube.

Die Lerche in blaue Höh entschwebt,

der Tauwind weht so lau;

sein wonniger milder Hauch belebt

und küßt das Feld, die Au.

Der Frühling in holder Pracht erwacht,

ah alle Pein zu End mag sein,

alles Leid, entflohn ist es weit!

Schmerz wird milder, frohe Bilder,

Glaub an Glück kehrt zuruck;

Sonnenschein, ah dringt nun ein,

ah, alles lacht, ach, ach, erwacht!

Da strömt auch der Liederquell,

der zu lang schon schien zu schweigen;

klingen hört dort wieder rein und hell

süße Stimmen aus den Zweigen!

Ah leis' läßt die Nachtigall

schon die ersten Töne horen,

um die Kön'gin nicht zu stören,

schweigt, ihr Sänger all!

Voller schon klingt bald ihr süßer Ton.

Ach ja bald, ah, ah ja bald!

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

O Sang der Nachtigall, holder Klang, ah ja!

Liebe durchglüht, ah, ah, ah,

tönet das Lied, ah und der Laut,

süß und traut, scheint auch Klagen zu tragen,

ah ah wiegt das Herz in süße Traumerein,

ah, ah, ah, ah, leise ein!

Sehnsucht und Lust

ah ah ah wohnt in der Brust,

ah, wenn ihr Sang lockt so bang,

funkelnd ferne wie Sterne,

ah ah zauberschimmernd wie des Mondes Strahl,

ah ah ah ah wallt durchs Tal!

Kaum will entschwinden die Nacht,

Lerchensang frisch erwacht,

ah, Licht kommt sie kunden,

Schatten entschwinden! ah!

Ah des Frühlings Stimmen klingen traut,

ah ja, ah ja ah o süßer Laut,

ah ah ah ah ach ja!

Sul bel Danubio blu is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "On the beautiful blue Danube." The phrase most famously references the waltz An der schönen blauen Donau, opus 314, by Neubau district of Vienna-born Austrian composer Johann Strauss II (October 25, 1825 - June 3, 1899). The pronunciation will be "sool bel da-NOO-byo bloo" in Italian.

Austria

A conductor leads an orchestra. To identify who led the orchestra for a particular event or concert, you would have to know where and when the event took place. If you are looking for the composer of the Blue Danube, it was Johann Strauss II.
