Joseph Haydn
Joseph Haydn (jina kamili Franz Joseph Haydn) alikuwa mtungaji wa muziki kutoka nchi ya Austria. Alizaliwa tarehe 31 Machi au 1 Aprili 1732 katika kijiji kikubwa cha Rohrau, jimbo la Austria Chini. Aliaga dunia tarehe 31 Mei 1809 mjini Vienna.
Amekuwa maarufu kwa jina la heshima la "baba wa simfoni". Wajerumani na Waaustria hasa wanamkumbuka kama mtungaji wa muziki wa wimbo uliokuwa wimbo wa taifa katika Milki ya Austria na baadaye kuwa wimbo wa taifa nchini Ujerumani hadi leo (wimbo wa Wajerumani).
Maisha
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Mvulana wa kwaya na mwanamuziki wa kujitegemea
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Alipokuwa mtoto wa miaka 8 alialikwa kwenda Vienna na kuwa mwimbaji wa kwaya ya wavulana kwenye kanisa kuu la mji huo. Katika miaka yake kama mwanakwaya alipokea mafundisho ya uimbaji, piano na fidla. Aliongozwa pia katika majaribio ya kwanza ya kutunga muziki.
Baada ya kubalehe na kubadilika kwa sauti yake aliondoka katika kwaya hiyo mnamo 1749 na kuanza kujitegemea kama mwanamuziki. Hakuwa na ajira ya kudumu bali alipata kazi kama mwimbaji au mwanamuziki kwa nafasi mbalimbali. Makazi na chakula alijipatia kama mwalimu wa muziki katika nyumba ya tajiri mmoja alipofundisha kila siku kwa masaa machache. Wakati huo alifaidika sana na maelekezo ya Nicola Porpora, mwanamuziki mzee kutoka Napoli, Italia.
Mkurugenzi wa muziki kwenye ikulu ya Esterhazy
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Kuanzia mwaka 1761 Haydn alipata ajira kwenye ikulu ya familia Esterhazy waliokuwa kati ya makabaila matajiri zaidi nchini Hungaria iliyokuwa sehemu ya milki ya Austria. Alianza kama makamu wa mkurugenzi wa muziki na tangu 1766 kama mkurugenzi wa muziki wa akina Esterhazy. Hapo alihamia pamoja na familia ya mwajiri wake baina ya ikulu tatu walipoishi kulingana na majira ya mwaka.
Aliwajibika kuongoza okestra, kuandaa tafrija, kutunga muziki kwa nafasi maalum, kupiga muziki wakati wa chakula au jioni kwa burudani ya bwana wake.
Kutokana na maisha ya kuhamahama baina ya ikulu za familia hiyo aliishi muda mrefu mashambani. Aliandika mwenyewe kuhusu maisha haya yaliyokuwa mbali na wanamuziki wengine: "Nilitengwa na dunia, bila mtu aliyeweza kunishawishi au kunivuruga na kwa hiyo nilipaswa kuwa mimi mwenyewe".
Mtungamuziki
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Katika kipindi cha karibu miaka 30 alipokuwa mkurugenzi wa muziki kwa Esterhazy, Haydn alitunga miziki mingi iliyochapishwa na kusambazwa. Kazi zake zilianza kuwa maarufu ilhali wengine walipiga muziki aliotunga yeye mahali pengine.
Aliombwa pia kutoka ng'ambo kutunga muziki kama vile Simfonia za Paris (1785–1786) na muziki kwa ibada ya Ijumaa Kuu "Maneno saba ya mwisho ya mwokozi wetu msalabani" (1786) iliyoagizwa kutoka Hispania.
Urafiki na Mozart
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Tangu 1781 Haydn na Mozart walikuwa marafiki. Mozart aliyekuwa kijana wake aliwahi kupenda muziki ya Haydn tangu miaka kadhaa. Hao watungaji wawili walipenda kupiga fidla pamoja na kushauriana juu ya kazi yao.
Ziara za Uingereza
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Tangu 1790 mtemi Esterhazy aliaga dunia na mrithi wake hakujali muziki, hivyo aliachisha wanamuziki wote.
Haydn alitumia uhuru wake mpya akifuata mwaliko wa mtoaji wa muziki Mjerumani Johann Peter Salomon kwenda Uingereza na kuendesha simfonia zake kwa okestra kubwa. Maonyesho yake yalileta mafanikio makubwa: watu wengi walitaka kumsikia akawa tajiri.
Mara mbili Haydn alisafiri hadi Uingereza (1791–1792 na 1794–1795) akafanikiwa kila mara. Alitumia miezi yake huko kwa kutunga idadi ya kazi zake zilizokuwa mashuhuri hasa baadaye kama vile "Simfonia na pigo la ngoma", "simfonia ya jeshi" na "simfonia za London".
Kwa muda alitafakari kubaki Uingereza na kuomba uraia wa kule lakini hatimaye alirudi Vienna.
Uzee
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Aliporudi Vienna 1795 kulikuwa tena na mabadiliko katika nyumba ya Esterhazy, na mtemi mpya alimwomba arudi kama mkurugenzi wa muziki kwenye ikulu zake. Haydn alikubali lakini kwa miezi kadhaa ya kila mwaka pekee. Hapo kwenye ikulu ya Eisenstadt aliandika muziki kwa misa 6 lakini sehemu kubwa ya mwaka alikaa katika nyumba yake huko Vienna alipoendelea kutunga muziki.
Pamoja na mshairi Gottfried van Swieten aliyeandika maneno kwa uimbaji alitunga oratori kubwa mbili (yaani muziki inayosimulia habari za kidini na nyingine kwa kutumia mitindo inayofanana na opera), ambazo ni "Uumbaji" (1798) na "Majira ya mwaka" (1801). Akatunga pia muziki zaidi ya kwateti (kwa wapigaji wanne).
Hapo alianza kusikia umri umekwenda, akapaswa kupambana na magonjwa akajitahidi sana kukamilisha kazi zake. Tangu 1802 alishindwa kutunga muziki tena.
Mwaka 1808 alitoka tena katika nyumba kwa maonyesho ya oratori "Uumbaji" yaliyoendeshwa na Beethoven na Salieri kwa heshima yake. Alishindwa kukaa hadi mwisho kwa sababu alikosa nguvu.
Aliaga dunia mwisho wa Mei 1809 wakati jeshi la Napoleon Bonaparte liliposhambulia Vienna. Kati ya maneno yake ya mwisho ni jaribio la kutuliza wafyanyakazi wa nyumbani waliokuwa na hofu wakisikia ngurumo wa mizinga ya jeshi la Wafaransa.
Haydn alizikwa makaburini na ibada ya kumbukumbu yake ilifanywa baada ya uvamizi kwisha, tarehe 15 Juni 1809.
Matukio baada ya kifo
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Mwaka 1820 familia ya Esterhazy ilimkumbuka mtumishi wake wa zamani wakamwandalia kaburi katika kanisa la Eisenstadt alipowahi kufanya kazi miaka mingi. Wakati wa kuhamisha maiti yake, jeneza lilifunguliwa, kumbe kichwa chake hakikuwepo.
Iligunduliwa kwamba wakati wa kumzika mara ya kwanza gavana wa gereza la Vienna, Johann Peter, pamoja na katibu wa zamani wa nyumba ya Esterhazy, Rosenbaum waliwahonga maafisa wa manispaa ya Vienna ili wafungue kaburi kwa siri siku nane baada ya mazishi na kumpatia kichwa. Maana hawa watu wawili walikuwa wafuasi wa imani kuwa umbo la fuvu linaonyesha tabia za mtu, hivi walikusanya mafuvu wakataka kuwa na fuvu la huyu mtu mashuhuri pia.
Wakati wa mazishi ya pili fuvu halikupatikana tena, hivyo Haydn alizikwa mara ya pili bila kichwa.
Peter na Rosenbaum waliamua kuficha fuvu wakafaulu hata wakati polisi ilipopekua nyumba zao. Baadaye walimkabidhi mtemi Esterhazy fuvu tofauti lisilokuwa la kweli.
Kabla ya kufa Rosenbaum aliacha fuvu kwa Peter katika wasia wake, kwa ombi la kukipatia fuvu hilo chuo cha muziki Vienna. Lakini Peter na mjane wa Rosenbaum waliogopa kuonyesha kuwa fuvu lilikuwa bado mikononi mwao. Hivyo fuvu la Haydn lilifichwa hadi Peter kabla ya kifo chake alilikabidhi kwa shirika la marafiki wa muziki wa Vienna lilipotunzwa kuanzia mwaka 1895.
Katika miaka ya 1930 mtemi wa Esterhazy alipamba upya kaburi la Haydn katika kanisa la Eisenstadt akatafuta kibali cha shirika la marafiki wa muziki wa Vienna ili fuvu la Haydn lipelekwe huko. Baada ya majadiliano marefu walikubali, lakini sasa siasa na vita viliingia kati, yaani uvamizi wa Austria na Adolf Hitler mwaka 1938 na Vita Kuu ya Pili ya Dunia.
Mwishoni fuvu lilipelekwa Eisenstadt mwaka 1954 na kuunganishwa na mabaki mengine ya mwili wa Haydin katika ibada ya kumkumbuka. Isipokuwa katika jeneza lake lilikuwepo fuvu la uongo lililopelekwa huko mwaka 1820 na fuvu hilo halikutolewa. Hivyo jeneza la Haydn lina mafuvu mawili.
Imani na maisha ya kiroho
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Maisha yake yote Haydin alikuwa Mkatoliki safi na ni imani ya dini iliyomuongoza sana katika utunzi. Hata alipojisikia kukosa ubunifu alikuwa akikimbilia sala. Maandishi yake mengi yanaishia na maneno ya Kilatini, "Laus Deo", yaani, "Sifa kwa Mungu".
