Classical Music / A Melody Defined
Bernstein Young People Concert - What is a Melody?
Leonard Bernstein with New York Philharmonic. He explains the different types of melodies, what makes us think of some music being melodic, and some not. The works of Wagner, Mozart, Hindemith and Brahms are performed.
The American Leonard Bernstein (25 Aug 1918 - 14 Oct 1990), was an eclectic composer, taking his ideas from the music of Mahler, Stravinsky, from religious ritual, and most of all, from fellow American composers George Gershwin and Aaron Copland, and the exciting idea of concert jazz. His own works are splendid kaleidoscope of all these influences ... making Leonard Bernstein one of the most entertaining of 20th-century composers. (Right now, my mind is preoccupied with musical 'West Side Story' and 'Candide'.
