The Symphony No. 100 in G major, Hoboken I/100, is the eighth of the twelve London symphonies written by Joseph Haydn and completed in 1793 or 1794. It is popularly known as the Military Symphony.
The nickname "Military" derives from the second movement (and the end of the finale), which features prominent fanfares written for C-trumpets and percussion effects. One reviewer wrote after the premiere that the second movement evoked the "hellish roar of war increas[ing] to a climax of horrid sublimity!"
The symphony is scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, triangle, cymbals, bass drum and strings (violins, violas, cellos and basses). In several editions there is only one flute.
It is in standard four-movement form:
1. Adagio – Allegro, 2/2
2. Allegretto, 2/2 in C major
3. Menuetto: Moderato, 3/4
4. Presto, 6/8
The piece of this video, Symphony No. 100 in G major, 'Military', Hob. I:100 (4º Mov., Finale - Presto), is the fourth piece of the Haydn's Symphony No. 100 in G major, 'Military', Hob. I:100.
Performers:
