Haydn’s individuality was a key component to his immediately recognizable style, and never failed to yield surprises regarding how much his sound changed over the course of his career. Combining accordion, fiddle, and acoustic guitar or mandolin, with drums, electric guitar, turntables, keyboards, and bass, they churn out a blend of styles that you can’t help stomping your feet to.Īlso containing a gypsy-esque influence, Leonard Cohen’s “Dance Me to the End of Love”, from 1984’s Various Positions, is very much inflected with the sound of Romani music. “Gypsy Punks”, Gogol Bordello, is a hybrid of reggae, punk rock, electronic, pop, and gypsy music. In between the call and response of the upper and lower strings and contrapuntal movement of the two there’s a few seconds of raucous, foot-stomping goodness.Īlthough not uncommon to hear such influences in todays multi-cultural mashup of styles, there are a few standouts. In the 4th movement of his 4th String Quartet Op.20 one can hear the strains of Gypsy music. Haydn was unique, in that, in his time as music director he was for all intents and purposes isolated from many of his peers and as a result his music was refreshingly different than many of the other composers of the period. Although, most likely due to his employers wealth and connectedness, his music was widely distributed through much of Europe. Hired as the court musician by the wealthy Esterházy family, he was isolated from other musical influences of the time until his later years.
