GREAT COMPOSER BORN ON THIS DAY


Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
(January 27, 1756 – December 5, 1791)
(Unfinished portrait,1782)


Mozart was a composer, instrumentalist, and music
teacher.

His full baptized name was Johannes Chrysostomus
Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.

He was born in Salzburg (then a free archbishopric
city within the Holy Roman Empire, now Austria).


He wrote more than 800 musical works including many
chamber pieces, church music, minuets, dances, songs,
and a Requiem. Along with
Bach and Beethoven, Mozart
is viewed as one of the greatest composers who ever lived.

Mozart also had his own special violin. It is called the
"Klotz" violin. The violin still exists today and is in a
museum called the Salzburg Mozarteum.  
       
Mozart died on December 5, 1791 at the age of 35. The
cause of death is uncertain.

POP CHART TOPPER ON THIS DAY IN 1972

American Pie (song) - Wikipedia

On January 15, 1972, “American Pie,”, an epic poem in musical
form that has long been etched in popular consciousness, hit
#1 on the Billboard charts.

The story of Don McLean’s magnum opus begins almost 13
years before its release, on a date with significance well-known
to any American who was alive and conscious at the time.

Tuesday February 3, 1959, was the date of the plane crash that
took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the J.P. “the
Big Bopper” Richardson—a date that would be imbued with
transcendent meaning by Don McLean when he labeled it
“the Day the Music Died.”

Bo Diddley (Ellas Otha Bates)
(December 30, 1928 – June 2, 2008)

      
        
        
       

Bo Diddley played a key role in the transition from
the
blues
to rock and roll. He influenced many artists,
including Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
     
 

His use of African rhythms and a signature beat, a
simple  five-
accent
hambone rhythm, is a cornerstone
of
hip hop, rock, and pop music.
