True success story

- ly F. H. MacArthur

For today's talk I am going to take my readers into the realms of music where we shall be intro- duced to three of the greatest musicians of all time: Johann Se- bastain Bach. Geor glo Fred- erick Handel and the great Mozart. It is interesting to note that two of these great German com- posers were born in the same year, 1085; both were outstanding or- ganists: both sought and received much of their inspiration from the Bible: and both became blind in their declining years. Handel's father wanted him to become a lawyer, but the youth had other plans. The love of music was in his blood and noth- ing could check his ambition to be a great composer. When his father resented this stand on the part of his son. the youth smug- gled a clavichord into his friend's room and when other members of the household were asleep he played night after night until he had mastered the instrument.

At the age of 12 we find George in Berlin where he had gone to study. In the great Hamburg

Opera House he soon became a

familiar figure. It was here too that the young musician produced his first open. I work which brought him to the notice of con- temporary mposers. - O O 0

From Hamburg he wont to Italy where. for a number of years. he held the position of Di- rector of Music in the household of the Elector of Hanover. but only on the condition that he be allowed p to visit England.

The beauty of old England so much appealed to Handel that ha settled there, making it his home for the better part of his life.

During those years the com- poser wrote little but operas. and his life at this time was a series of ccesses and failures. Twice he went bankrupt. Perhaps these failures were in part due to his bad temper, for he had many argu- ments with his singers. However, had his operas been more succeu- fill it is very doubtful whether the world would have the magnifi- cicnt oratories for which his name is so famous today. One of these. "The Messiah". is heard all around the world every Christmas. This. his greatest masterpiece. was first performed in 1142.

His adopted country showered great honors upon this German- bom genius. and when he died in

1759 his remains were buried in

Baoh. I man who had a passion for home life. was twice married with a family of twenty sons and daughte .. Three of his children. Wilhelm, Karl and Johann were musicians par excellence and composetr of some importance, though none were so brilliant as their father. Music critics tell us that Bach's organ compositions are the most perfect works of their kind ever produced. or as one writer says. "they are unsurpass- ed and unsurpassabio." it seems to be the ambition of all organ- ists to play, at least reasonably well. Bach's" great compositions.

Every boy and girl in our great Dominion who hopes to be a true musician must spend many hours sitting before the piano studying the compositions that Bach wrote for the ciavichord. This genius of the musical world passed to be with that great company of the immortals in 1750.

Incidentally. Bach and Handel. though they were both Germans. born in the same year. never had the pleasure of n.1ee.ti!1lZ-

And now we come to that -.vun- derful child prodigy, Mozart. who composed fine music when only five years of age Think of it I l !

Wolfgang Mozart was born in Salzburlt. in 1756. The boy came

from a musical family and went on musical tours with his father and sister Maria Anna, when very young. The great ladies of that day used to take the little genius on their knees and hug and kiss him. Even kings and queens made a pet of him.

Those were Mozart's happiest days, for after he had grown up and had married he was always snowed under with debts and tri- bulations.

But with all his poverty Mozart never ceased composing. and, when his short life span came to an end. at the age of 35, he left to posterity 789 compositions.

Hayden, a brother composer, described Mozart as "the most ex- traordinary. orlginal and compre- hensive musical genius ever known in this or any other Nation.”

One can well agree with Hay- den's words when we take into account the remarkable fact that Mozart was a born musician. a prodigy who never had to ask anyone how to compose.
