Galant style

History

The galant style was the 18th century's turn away from the dense counterpoint of the late Baroque toward something lighter, clearer and immediately likeable. Theorists of the time, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Daniel Gottlob Türk among them, set it against the learned or strict style of fugues, where independent voices work against each other. Galant composers wanted one singable melody over a simple accompaniment: short, regular phrases, a small harmonic vocabulary centred on tonic and dominant, slower harmonic rhythm that left room for ornament, and a clear line between soloist and accompanist. The word came from French, where a galant homme was a person of fashion, and Johann Mattheson seems to have been the first to write of a galant style in music, in 1721. It showed up in keyboard sonatas, opera buffa, minuets, divertimenti and chamber music, with Johann Christian Bach, Baldassare Galuppi and Domenico Scarlatti among its names. Not everyone was pleased: in 1782 Johann Samuel Petri called the simplification the great catastrophe in music. The style faded as Haydn and Mozart built more complex structures, though Haydn in old age reportedly still said that the way to judge a melody was to sing it without accompaniment.
