6th Symphony-Beethoven

So this song is basically about the day in the life of someone living on the countryside. It’s also called Pastoral Symphony. I don’t really like this piece very much; I’m not really a big fan of instrumental songs so obviously I wasn’t a big fan of this song. I had some trouble with this assignment because I’m used to having words in a song to tell me what it’s about, so with this assignment I really had to push my boundaries and really use my imagination to sort of see the story behind the music.

In the beginning, the music is very upbeat because at that point of the day you’re waking up and you immediately have to start your day. All the instruments are working together to make it loud to show that you are put to work right away. I imagine someone jumping out of bed, getting dressed quick, grabbing a piece of toast, and then getting right to work; maybe cleaning, or cooking, or going to the market place to trade goods. When the music slows down and get’s more quiet, you know that the person the song is following is probably taking a break; maybe sitting down for some lunch, or maybe brushing the horse or milking the cow.

I don’t think this piece is autobiographical; Beethoven enjoyed taking long walks on his free time and being in nature, so this piece is reflective of that. This sort of piece is not unusual for the artist at all, all of his pieces are instrumental and they are all usually played by a big orchestra. This song doesn’t really have any special meaning to me; obviously Beethoven is famous and I think he is a very talented person but it doesn’t really evoke any special emotions to me. Although, when I hear it, I immediately connect it to the opening scene to Into The Woods. I recently just saw this movie, which originally was a musical on Broadway, then it was turned into a movie, and recently they just redid the movie. This takes place on the countryside and I immediately think of it, because the first scene is a bunch of people singing in the morning all starting their day and the words are fairly quick to show that they all have so much to do already and they only just started the day. So I guess it’s a good reason why I associate the two songs.

I wouldn’t recommend putting this song on your iPod. You can’t really workout to this song, nor would you really want to eat chocolate and cry to this song. I wouldn’t say it’s a go to song either, the only thing I can say is that you might want this song for studying/doing homework. I’ve heard that listening to music with no words is actually really good to study with. Apparently it stimulates your brain and actually helps you retain information and stay focused. So this song might be helpful during finals week when you’re doing your last minute studying for your big Chem final. I’m not saying that this is going to give you a guaranteed A, I don’t think anything will in Stony Brook, but it might help you study and stay focused!

    Ah, a great classic piece. I find it amazing how Beethoven became deaf but was still able to compose such beautiful music. I have this same song in my study playlist, music without lyrics allows the mind to clear and focus at the task at hand, which i why i have an appreciation towards classical music. Nice song choice!

    Great music you picked!
    I personally think Beethoven’s composing style in most of his symphonies is having a soft intro and a strong passionate ending. I like the ending of this “Pastoral Symphony”. It follows a certain pattern and pushes these notes into extreme. The sequence repeating melody is dynamic and it expresses the feeling of emotional intensity.

    This song, also known as the Pastoral Symphony, depicts a day in the life of someone in the countryside. It’s an instrumental piece, which posed a challenge for me as I’m more into songs with lyrics. I had to stretch my imagination to visualize the story behind the music. The upbeat start mirrors the busy morning routine, while the quieter moments suggest a well-deserved break, perhaps during lunch or while attending to farm chores.
