LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET MUSIC SAMPLES OF

THE 20th CENTURY

Background Information for Learners

“Music is the language of the soul” and People may express their own feelings and emotions
through music.
In the history of Music and Arts, every period has its own characteristics style and distinct
features which could be in relation to the society from which it originated.
20th century music (1901-1999) brought new freedom, wide experimentation and
development of advance technology with new musical styles and forms. These new musical
styles were : IMPRESSIONISM, EXPRESSIONISM, NEO-CLASSICISM, AVANT
GARDE, and MODERN NATIONALISM.
The musical styles were truly unique and innovative as seen in the work of these
composers: Claude Debussy(1862-1918) , Maurice Ravel ( 1875-1937), Arnold Schoenberg
(1874-1951), Bela Bartok (1881-1945), Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971), Sergei Prokofieff
(18911953) , George Gershwin (1898-1937), John Cage (1912-1992), Leonard Bernstein
(19181990), Philip Glass ( 1937- ) and others.
In addition, the 20th century saw dramatic innovation in musical form and styles.
Composers and songwriters explored new forms and sounds that challenged the previously
accepted rules of music of earlier periods. Hence, these composers truly extended the
boundaries of what music was thought to be in earlier periods and clearly reflected the
growing globalization of musical styles.
