Comrades, some lessons we speak about music. Music is magic! It plays a great role in our life. Music helps people in different situations: in sadness, in gladness… So, genres of music depict our tempo. On the blackboard there are two columns, match them:
Mood Music
romantic rock’n roll
tender tango
sad waltz
active blues
aggressive hard rock

Music is performed not only by people but also by the nature: wind makes sound –u-u-u, rain – drop – drop – drop…storm, floods, waterfalls and trees play charming music. It was the first music in the world! Only such tunes made people to compose their own musiс. In such way folk music appeared.

Later a lot of composes appeared in different countries in different times: Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Richard Wagner. On each desk there is a text about one or another composer. You have a little time to choose only main information about him and retell it.

Johann Sebastian Bach
Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and organist. He was born in March, 21st in 1685 in Eyzanh. Bach’s parents died when he was young and Johann moved to Ordurf to his elder brother Cristoph.
At 17 he played violin and sang in choir. Bach was invited to Weimar to work as a musician at a court. Bach’s creative legacy is enormously. He created works in all known genres at that time, except opera. J.S. Bach became an author of 265 cantatas. Bach died in July in 1750 in Leipzig.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the greatest in the world. Schubert said: “His magic music lights the darkness of our lives”. He composed 626 pieces: 24 operas, 49 symphonies, over 40 concertos, 26 string quartets. His most famous operas are “Magic Flute” and “Wedding of Figaro”.
Mozart was born in Salzburg in 1756 and started his career at a young age. His father taught him how to play the instruments at age of three. Two years later, he gave his son a small violin and Wolfgang toured Europe.
By the age of eight he had toured London, Paris, Rome and Geneva. Four sonatas were published before he was nine. When he was only 14 years old, Wolfgang was appointed the director of the Archbishop’s orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781 he settled in Vienna. Here Mozart had his most productive years. But suddenly the Vienna aristocracy tired of him. He lost pupils and contracts and had to move from his comfortable hose to modern flat. The genius was forgotten. In 1791 Mozart died and was buried in a ditch in the cemetery of St. Mark in Vienna.

Ludwig van Beethoven
Beethoven was born in Germany. Beethoven’s first music teacher was his farther, who beat him and unsuccessfully attempted to exhibit him as a child prodigy like Mozart. However, others soon noticed Beethoven’s talent. Beethoven’s mother died when he was 17, and for several years he was responsible for raising his two younger brothers. Beethoven moved to Vienna in 1792, where he intended to study with Joseph Haydn. Beethoven quickly established a reputation as a piano virtuoso, and more slowly, as a composer.
Beethoven’s career as a composer was divided into Early, Middle and Late periods. Some important pieces from his early period are the first and the second concertos, and the first twenty piano sonatas. The Mddle period began shortly after Beethoven’s personal crisis centering on deafness. The Later period includes the last five string quartets and the last five piano sonatas. His personal life was troubled. Around age 28, he started to become deaf. He often had financial problems. Beethoven continued workin

Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky is a Russian composer. He was born on the 25th of April in 1840 in a village under Votkinsk and died in 1893 in St. Petersburg.
He was born in a family of the mountain engineer. He got a good education. Also he was unusual talented in music. At 4 years old he wrote the play under the name “Our Ma in Petersburg”. At 8 he fairly well played the grand piano.
In 1852 his family moved to St. Petersburg and here P.I. Tchaikovsky graduated from the building school. But he liked only music and wanted to be a musician. And Tchaikovsky entered the first Russian conservatory. Everything from his music belongs to classic. Among all his works the first symphony occupies special place.
Tchaikovsky opend anew stage in the development of the world ballet art. He created a sample of symphonic, chamber instrumental music.

“ The Beatles” is the most famous group in England. It was organized in Liverpool in 1956.
Listen to the text about this group and answer the questions.

“The Beatles”
The Beatles became nationally famous in England on Wednesday 4 October1962, when their first single record. “Love me do”, entered the Hit Parade at number 27. The famous four who recorded that song were, of course John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. This was the original line-up of the band. Three years before, the group was offered its first “big job” – playing at the famous Star Club in Hamburg. Later The Beatles began a series of lunchtime concerts at Liverpool’s Cavern Club. They were now playing better than ever.
The lunchtime concerts were a great success. The road outside the club was always crowded with girls who worked in nearby shops and offices. They came to see the Beatles during their lunch-break. The man who ran the local record shop went to see what all the fuss was about. His name was Brain Epstein, the man who became the Beatles manager. During the sixties, it seemed that the Beatles were always in the news headlines. They made successful records and interesting film where were a lot of songs, such as “Rock and roll music”, “I’ll follow the sun”, “Words of love”, “Yesterday”. In October 1982, 20 years – after “Love me do” entered the British Hit Parade, a Beatles’ song was again in the Top Ten. The song was…”Love Me Do”.

Song “Yesterday” is the best one from this list to my mind. I know all of you love this song too. Well, let’s sing this song together.

Yesterday,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay,
On, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly,
I’m not half the man I used to be,
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.
Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say,
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say,
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday,
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Yesterday
John Lennon Paul McCartney
