Downloaded from hlayiso.com Music/P1 35 DBE/2023 SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines QUESTION 20 Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture is rooted in Classical traditions and also exhibits the characteristics of the early Romantic style period. Write an essay in which you explain how each of these two style periods manifests in this composition. You will be credited for the logical presentation of facts and the structure of your essay. The essay will be marked according to the criteria below: CRITERIA MARK ALLOCATION Classical elements 6 Romantic elements 6 Logical presentation and structure of the essay 3 TOTAL 15 Example of an introduction Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture reflects both Classical and Romantic characteristics because the composer lived in the Romantic era but had a great deal of respect for the Classical traditions. Classical elements: Form and structure  Sonata form is typical of Classical style period  The exposition contains a first subject (in B minor), (extended) bridge, second subject (in D major) and a codetta  The development section develops the themes introduced in the exposition and also presents new material  The recapitulation presents the same two themes again, this time in B minor and B major, with the second theme now played by two clarinets Melody  Clearly defined melodies  Regular phrase structure/symmetrical phrases  Motivic development influenced by Beethoven Tone colour/orchestra  A classical orchestra is used with string section, double woodwinds, two French horns, two trumpets and timpani Harmony  Mendelssohn was strongly influenced by Mozart and Beethoven's use of classical harmony  Modulation to closely-related keys (B minor – D major, B minor – B major)  Use of tonal/classical harmony Texture  Mainly homophonic with some polyphonic texture Copyright reserved Please turn over
Downloaded from hlayiso.com Music/P1 36 DBE/2023 SC/NSC – Marking Guidelines Romantic elements: Form and structure  Uses sonata form but more free and varied, e.g. unusually long codetta after the second subject in the exposition, an extended bridge passage and coda  Extensive development of motives – forerunner of larger symphonic works New genre  Concert overture (foreshadowing the symphonic poem to come)  A dramatic symphonic work with programmatic content Melody  Lyrical melodies with a distinct melodic style typical of the Romantic style Programmatic aspects  A descriptive title: Fingal's Cave (subtitle), The Lonely Island as alternative title  Romanticism introduced a new focus on nature  Suggests a whole seascape, the grandeur of the cave, the swelling of the sea, the light on the water, the fury of the waves breaking on the cliffs Dynamics:  Very wide range from pp to ff  Extreme dynamic contrasts underline programmatic context Harmony  Use of some chromaticism Tone colour/orchestra  No additional instruments used as was the case in later Romantic orchestral works – he utilised the full range of timbres available in a Classical orchestra  Both themes are played by the lower register instruments (cello, bassoon, viola) – setting the mood of grey skies and foreboding sea  Innovative orchestration resulted in new combinations of colour and mood Tempo and Rhythm:  Performances of Romantic symphonic music is characterised by the use of rubato, which is true in any performance of this work Example of a conclusion It is clear that both Classical and Romantic features are evident in the Hebrides Overture and Mendelssohn managed to balance the clarity of the Classical style with typical emotional features of Romantic music.
