"Classical" Music

Can you please add when the first symphony was made

hi

Hi

WHATSS UP

HI

Hi

Scarlatti will be the last baroque composer I'll include in this timeline. The reasons I haven't added him yet is that I'm not familiar with his work and he has so many compositions to his corpus ! I don't know which one to pick to try to illustrate his style ... Any recommendation ?

Love it! Thanks for all the effort! Could you please add Domenico Scarlatti please?

I just started making my own timeline and I realized a lot of people have probably already made some.. then I found this one.

You should add Burgmüller, Kuhlau, Kabalevsky, and Robert Vandall!

me like vidojuegos

It had Haydn's color but its description referred to C.P.E. Bach ... Thank you for pointing this out Antoine, this discrepancy is now fixed !

Just a quick note to inform you that the piece "Der Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen" marked in blue (attributed to Haydn) was in fact composed by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

you actually must go fuck your self

Bravo.

cool

Super!!!!

Loved the videos and the time/effort you took to make this! You're all so talented!!!

OMG 37733

Make that 37732

this deserves more likes if it has 37731 views!

I believe I heard about Dies Irae deriving from a drinking song from my music professor long ago. So far, I have not been able to substantiate it.

I found this recoring of how Homer might have sounded "when sung." https://percevalarcheostoria.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/listen-to-how-homers-odyssey-sounded-when-sung-in-original-ancient-greek/

amazing time line

@P. G. I like Buxtehude's Passacaglia in D minor but he seems to be a pretty minor Baroque composer. I think the last one I'll accept for this era is Scarlatti. As for the Illiad and the Odyssey, I know rhapsodes sang them but I don't think they were written as actual songs. Tell me if you have more info on that. It's a bit arbitrary but eh, I'd rather not include any drinking song here. I have never heard of that source of inspiration for Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique but it would make great trivia to include in that event's description ! Can you back it up with a source ?

A wonderul accomplishment.

this looks awesome

Thank you so much

Thank you SO much

Thank you, very completed

Don't you think Buxtehude should be included in your Baroque section?

Homer's poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, were sung, beginning somewhere around 800 B.C. . The ancient Greeks invented and used several "modes" for their music. I don't know when these were invented, but each mode was devoted to a certain kind of verse. As for the Romans, I've read that the Dies Irae of The Middle Ages and most prominent in Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique was based on a Roman drinking song. I can find you leads on some of these things, if you are interested.

jeez

It will be an invaluable reference. Thanks

How to make a timeline without video and audio tracks?

@Владислав Емельянов I have never tried to export a timeline to a google sheets so I don't know how to help you, sorry :(

Good afternoon. Could you tell me if I can add something to the Google sheet of the document template so that events are immediately in the right groups when importing data?

I hope in translating the names of the compositions you retain the original, if foreign, name. By the way, you do have some typos below. It should be "compositions' " and not "compositions," and "names," not "name." And it should be "his" Rite Of Spring," and "French" is always capitalized as are all languages. (And I still cannot find Stravinski on the chart for some reason.) It confuses me that you are translating into the "original English name." If the English name is "original," why translate it? Thanks again for doing this. It is of great use.

Great collaborative effort! Thank you very much for creating this valuable resource. Can we also add Bernstein? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for all your support ! The timeline is quite complete now and it would have never reached this state without our 8 contributors (you guys rule !). The next step is to translate the compositions name to their original or english name and to incorporate more "media" content (composer portraits, youtube links, etc.). @P. G. we already have Stravinsky and its Rite of Spring (Sacre du Printemps in french) and I thought we had Brahms also but I couldn't find him so thanks for pointing that out ! As for Purcell, I'm not sure whether to add him or not ... I'll think about it. Feel free to share some of its work or contribute to the timeline in the meantime ;)

Give it a thumbs up!

Search for unicorn memes, They are really cool!

pretty cool I'm definitely going to leave a like.

Great job and very useful. Thank-you. I know this is still in progress, but are you going to include Purcell, Brahms and Stravinsky?

Exquisite! It's clear you've put much time into this very nice.

very nice

Coming next : 1) updated style guidelines 2) major instruments creation (scope not defined but violin, piano and harpsichord will definitely be featured) 3) medieval compositions

The timeline has been dragging on lately because I hadn't understood the update system. But now things are going back in motion again ! In order to keep this timeline consistent and somewhat readable, here are a little set of rules to follow before posting an update : 1) there is a specific type of marker for each information it represents (work, composer and era) ; 2) when submitting a new work, please use the same color as its composer and write its author name in the event description (example: [Te Deum] in 1692) ; 3) when submitting a new work, please use its english or original name ; 4) when submitting a new composer, please provide at least 1 and at most 2 compositions ; 5) when submitting a new composer, please use only the family name (or pseudonym, if any). On a sidenote, this timeline does not intend to represent an exhaustive listing of all the work achieved in throughout world, but bring an insight about the identity and the "way of doing" of each era.

This is great, especially for a classical music nerd like me!

This would be really cool layered with other mediums of art / art movements (visual arts, architecture, philosophy, etc)

Good. What about new features? Please add photos, videos, maps..

So is the site :)

Nice!
