- Rhapsody_(music) abstract "A rhapsody in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it freer in form than a set of variations.The word "rhapsody" is derived from the Greek rhapsōdos, a reciter of epic poetry, and came to be used in Europe by the 16th century as a designation for literary forms, not only epic poems, but also for collections of miscellaneous writings and, later, any extravagant expression of sentiment or feeling. In the 18th century, literary rhapsodies first became linked with music, as in Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart's Musicalische Rhapsodien (1786), a collection of songs with keyboard accompaniment, together with a few solo keyboard pieces (Rink 2001). The first solo piano compositions with the title, however, were Václav Jan Tomášek’s fifteen Rhapsodies, the first of which appeared in 1810 (Randel 2003). Although vocal examples may be found as late as Brahms's Alto Rhapsody, op.53 (1869), in the 19th century the rhapsody had become primarily an instrumental form, first for the piano and then, in the second half of the century, a large-scale nationalistic orchestral "epic"—a fashion initiated by Franz Liszt (Rink 2001). Interest in Gypsy violin playing beginning in the mid-19th century led to a number of important pieces in that style, in particular by Liszt, Antonín Dvořák, George Enescu, Ernő Dohnányi, and Béla Bartók, and in the early 20th century British composers exhibiting the influence of folksong composed a number of examples, including Ralph Vaughan Williams's three Norfolk Rhapsodies, George Butterworth's A Shropshire Lad, and Frederick Delius's Brigg Fair (which is subtitled "An English Rhapsody") (Thompson and Bellingham 2002).Some familiar examples may give an idea of the character of a rhapsody:Hugo Alfvén, Swedish Rhapsody No. 1 (Midsommarvaka), for orchestraBéla Bartók, Rhapsody No. 1 and Rhapsody No. 2 for violin and piano (also arranged for orchestra)Johannes Brahms, Two Rhapsodies, Op. 79, and Rhapsody in E-flat major, Op. 119, No. 4, for solo pianoEmmanuel Chabrier, España, rhapsody for orchestraClaude Debussy, Première rhapsodie for clarinet and pianoClaude Debussy, Rhapsody for alto saxophone and orchestraErnő Dohnányi, Four Rhapsodies, Op. 11, for solo pianoGeorge Enescu, Romanian Rhapsodies Nos. 1 and 2, for orchestraEdward German, Welsh Rhapsody, for orchestraGeorge Gershwin, Rhapsody in Blue, Second Rhapsody, for piano and orchestraFranz Liszt, Hungarian Rhapsodies for solo pianoDavid Popper, Hungarian RhapsodyPancho Vladigerov, Bulgarian Rhapsody "Vardar"Sergei Rachmaninoff, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43, for piano and orchestraMaurice Ravel, Rapsodie espagnole, for orchestraRalph Vaughan Williams, Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1, for orchestraIn 1975, the British rock band Queen released "Bohemian Rhapsody", a bombastic mock-operatic rock song which is in the form of a four-part suite but performed with rock instrumentation (Erlewine n.d.; Anon. n.d.). Though described by its composer Freddie Mercury as a "mock opera" (Brown 2012, 155), it has also been characterized as a "sort of seven-minute rock cantata (or ‘megasong’) in three distinct movements" (Taruskin 2009, 328). It became one of the UK's best-selling singles of all time (Roberts 2012).".
