What is Joseph Haydn best music?
Asked by Wiki User
Haydn, in my opinion, was the best classical composer that ever lived (no offence, Mozart). Besides inventiong the modern string quartet and single-handedly changing the world of symphonies, he had amazing works. His 94th symphony 'The Surprise' is a must, the 2nd movement in it is absolutely wonderful. His string quartet Op 33 No. 3 'The Joke' is one of the best string quartets. His piano sonata No. 50 in C Major is also highly recommended, and so are all of his concertos, the best of which are the trumpet concerto in E-flat Major and his Piano Concerto No. 11 in D major (Both are the top of the concerti repertuar if you ask me).
When you look up a haydn recording, try to find the brightest one, for that is how haydn should be played.

What are the lyrics to the song 'Mambo Italiano'?
Asked by Wiki User
The song Mambo Italiano has an Italian title and English lyrics. The reason lies in the English-speaking audiences for which it is intended, as a 1954-released composition by New Jersey-born composer and lyricist Bob Merrill (May 17, 1921 - February 17, 1998) and a recording by Kentucky-born cabaret singer Rosemary Clooney (May 23, 1928 - June 29, 2002). The lyrics take the following, original form:
A girl went back to Napoli
because she missed the scenery,
the native dances, and the charming songs.
But, wait a minute! Something's wrong!
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!
Hey, mambo! Mambo Italiano!

It was as I recall the theme song of the Operetta (Tales of Hoffmann). Song is not of Italian origin. For that matter the song (O Sole Mio) which dates to l9ll, while recorded famously by Caruso-is NOT by any stretch of the imagination an Operatic aria! People still say- that song from the Opera- O Sole Mio! sorry Enrico.

What is fado?
Asked by Wiki User
Portuguese song and dance genre, the typical urban vocal music of cafés, cabarets and nightclubs. It may have a Moorish origin, or originally have been a maritime style. It is usually sung with guitar-like instruments, which play cross-rhythms against the vocal melody; the form is usually strophic and the songs may include improvised material.
For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below this answer box.
Fado is not a dance. never was, never is and never will be. it's a collective name for songs that are accompanied by the (spanish) guitar and the viola (lute) and is sung in cafés called "tipicos". In the more "upper class" tipicos (restaurants), the contrabass is usually added (also when fadistas*, singers of fado, tour, the contrabass may be included).
originally fado was sung in bars of ill repute in lisbon in the nineteenth century, but the form became formalised and has developed into an art-form with its own rules and regulations. hence, new forms of fado springing up, find it hard to gain popularity with the general public.
fado is split into two genres: the best known is the lisbon fado and the other one, only sung in the city with the same name, is the coimbra fado. the latter is sung by students and are love songs. the lisbon fado has been exported and has made adepts all over the world thanks to the most famous fadista, called amalia rodrigues who died in 1999 and whose body was laid to rest in the pantheon in lisbon where the most famous are resting. other famous fadistas of the classical kind are maria da fé, lucilia do carmo (also deceased and whose son carlos do carmo, now retired, used to run a tipico in lisbon called "a faia" where he would also sing along with his mother) and plenty of others. although fado is sung mainly by lady performers, the aforementioned carlos do carmo was the best known male performer of recent times, but not the only one. at present, camané, is a newly established name in the line of male fadistas. mariza is a modern fadista who started out singing the amalia fados (their timbre was very much alike), but she has now joined the new breed of fadistas.
lisbon fado is not only about love but it also incorporates nostalgia, unattained love and longings (generally knows as "saudade") as well as remembering lovingly people and places of the past and to me expresses the veritable soul of the portuguese and the portuguese language. amalia's most famous fados are "a casa mariquinhas" (fado alegre), "com que voz" (a sad fado) and a very famous "fado amalia" but no fado stirs the heart of the portuguese more than "a casa portuguesa" in which she describes what a typical portuguese house looks and feels like. maria da fé's latest album "divino fado" is a delightful collection of old and new. another fadista, unknown abroad but quite well-known in Portugal, is beatriz da conceiçao whose deep, warm voice is there to mesmerise you. alas, she no longer records or appears in public to my knowledge.
it is not uncommon for artists to re-edit old fados: popular melodies are often sung with new texts to make them appear on the label as new fados. also, some records and CD-s have fadistas sing fado with an orchestra, a movement i personally deplore.
fado is so strong in Portugal that a Hollywood tune (April in Portugal) has been turned into a fado called "coimbra" and it tells about the forbidden love between ines de Castro (a spanish lady) and the portuguese king at the time. despite being called "coimbra" it has been turned into a lisbon-style fado and was popularised by amalia rodrigues.
lisbon fado has many styles: fado menor (sad fado), fado alegre (happy fado) and even a spoken fado (fado falando) but they all have traditionally one thing in common: the guitars play the opening bars and then the fadista starts out with either a "cry" or with an opening bar that sets the tone of the fado.
when you want to experience fado in real life, the best way is to walk the streets of lisbon in the evening (avoid the popular tourist area of bairo alto) and listen in the streets. if you hear "untrained" voices singing or joining in, then you are likely to have found an authentic café/restaurant where fado is sung in between meals being served. in porto, fado is sung in the afternoon rather than in the evening and small fado restaurants can be found between the ribeira (riverside) and the station sao bento. in lisbon, the best thing is to walk around alfama (between the quay side and the castle) or mouraria (starting from martim moniz and work your way up to the castle). and as they say, the later in the evening, the better the fado.
(*the word "fadista" in portuguese is feminine, but is applied to male singers as well.)

Where does Samba music come from?
Asked by Wiki User
t is normally fast and has a fast beat and tempo.
Actually samba can also be slow. What makes it sound different from other types of music is the specific samba swing. By this I mean not speed or enery or tightness, but the fact that half of the notes in a bar always fall slightly off the beat, in a very consistant pattern. The swing stays the same throughout all of the instruments and variations of patterns, and is held by the melody too. It is the swing that gives samba its addictive feel. The samba swing is not the same as Jazz or latin swing, which have different offbeats.
The swing cannot be annotated by conventional means so you can't learn it by reading musical notation, but you can hear it clearly in samba recordings. It derives from the African origins of samba music, which grew out of a complex mix of African music, marches and the polka.
There is some great historical material on Youtube - try looking up anything by Clara Nunes, or Cartola. The modern samba schools in Rio play a much faster samba with more emphasis on percussion - you can also find these well illustrated on youtube - search for "ensaio tecnico na avenida". This bateria samba is so fast you can hardly hear the swing but it's there - without it the music would just sound like a march.
Not all Brazilian traditional music is samba, there are many other styles such as Maracatu and samba reggae which sound quite different, having a slightly different swing, different orchestration and a very different cultural tradition.
How did African music influence Latin music?
Asked by Wiki User
African music is characterized by drums and other percussion instruments, which are heavily used in Latin American music. Latin American music also has Spanish influence.
