This book recounts the life of Joseph Haydn, a renowned composer who began his journey as a choir boy, highlighting his rise from humble beginnings in Austria to musical greatness. Tapper's work is designed to introduce young readers to the life and contributions of a significant figure in classical music. The story follows young Joseph Haydn as he grows up in a modest home, where he is first introduced to music through his family's love for singing. At the age of eight, he moves to Vienna to join the choir at St. Stephen's Church, where he hones his skills and meets influential figures in the music world, including Mozart and Beethoven. Throughout his trajectory, Haydn demonstrates hard work, determination, and a joyous spirit despite the challenges he faces, such as the loss of his childhood voice. The narrative encapsulates key moments from his life, including his role as music director in the Esterhazy household and his later travels that expanded his musical reach, ultimately leading to the creation of beloved masterpieces like "The Creation" and "The Emperor's Song."
