Hector Berlioz

Berlioz by   August Prinzhofer , 1845

Louis-Hector Berlioz   ( / ˈ b ɛər l i z / ;   French:  [ɛktɔʁ bɛʁljoz] ; 11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869) was a French   Romantic   composer. His output includes orchestral works such as the   Symphonie fantastique   and   Harold in Italy , choral pieces including the   Requiem   and   L'enfance du Christ , his three operas   Benvenuto Cellini ,   Les Troyens   and   Béatrice et Bénédict , and works of hybrid genres such as the "dramatic symphony"   Roméo et Juliette   and the "dramatic legend"   La damnation de Faust .

The elder son of a provincial doctor, Berlioz was expected to follow his father into medicine, and he attended a Parisian medical college before defying his family by taking up music as a profession. His independence of mind and refusal to follow traditional rules and formulas put him at odds with the conservative musical establishment of Paris. He briefly moderated his style sufficiently to win France's premier music prize, the   Prix de Rome , in 1830 but he learned little from the academics of the   Paris Conservatoire . Opinion was divided for many years between those who thought him an original genius and those who viewed his music as lacking in form and coherence.

At age 22 Berlioz fell in love with the Irish Shakespearean actress   Harriet Smithson , and he pursued her obsessively until she finally accepted him seven years later. Their marriage was happy at first but eventually foundered. Harriet inspired his first major success, the   Symphonie fantastique , in which an idealised depiction of her occurs throughout.

Berlioz completed three operas, the first of which,   Benvenuto Cellini , was an outright failure. The second, the huge epic   Les Troyens   (The Trojans), was so large in scale that it was never staged in its entirety during his lifetime. His last opera,   Béatrice et Bénédict  – based on Shakespeare's comedy   Much Ado About Nothing  – was a success at its premiere but did not enter the regular operatic repertoire. Meeting only occasional success in France as a composer, Berlioz increasingly turned to conducting, in which he gained an international reputation. He was highly regarded in Germany, Britain and Russia both as a composer and as a conductor. To supplement his earnings he wrote musical journalism throughout much of his career; some of it has been preserved in book form, including his   Treatise on Instrumentation   (1844), which was influential in the 19th and 20th centuries. Berlioz died in Paris at the age of 65.

I don't know why I even bother scrolling down this kind of article, but since the article's title is "The Power of Great Music" I'll combine my comment with the movies and add this:

From the movie, Copying Beethoven, the 4th movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony - Ode to Joy.

I like several types of music. Christian, country, classical, patriotic, marching band, opera. I’ll see if I can get a few favorites in each category later.
