Classical Worship - Mozart

Nineteenth century Germany and Austria loved their composers, and Mozart was among the best. He was a celebrity who forever reflected and distinguished the times and culture in which he lived.

Mozart showed musical gifts at a very early age. He composed when he was five, played before royalty at six, and wrote his first symphony when he was seven. In the midst of a brilliant career, he died at just thirty-five years of age. Though his musical genius set him apart, Mozart's struggle was the same as ours - to wrestle with the meaning of life, and to find expression for the works of his soul.

It is music for the ages - timeless and moving. It is the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Classical Worship - Bach

Mozart studied his work. Beethoven called him the “original father of harmony.” And although many musicians of the time deemed his complex music old fashioned, today Johann Sebastian Bach is considered one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. 

In his work, Bach weaved together intersecting melodies and counterpoint harmonies, creating a distinctive sound whether the instrument was organ, cello, or the human voice. 

He also expressed his close relationship with God through the music he wrote, often working as a musical director for local churches and crafting some of his greatest pieces for use in worship. In addition, he served as a devoted father and dedicated teacher.

Like his music, Bach’s life found beauty in many melodies. Like his life, his music brings glory to God.

Classical Worship - Beethoven

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 - 1827) was one of the finest composers in all of Europe. He first gained fame as a piano virtuoso in 1795. After it became apparent he was losing his hearing, Beethoven entered into a period in which many of his greatest works were written, all accomplished through great struggle.

Unlike most other composers of his time, Beethoven never wrote for royalty. He composed for the population at large, and his music was greatly appreciated far beyond his home in Vienna. When he died in 1827, it is said over 10,000 people attended his funeral, marking him as one of the first truly great celebrities of the modern era.

Beethoven's music reflects the struggle that is common to us all, of a life with great disappointments, overcome through an even greater faith.
