1. EXPRESSIONISM

Expressionism presents atonality and the twelve-tone scale revealing composer’s mind,
expressing strong emotions, anxiety, rage, and alienation. It expresses the meaning of
emotional experience rather than physical reality. One of the proponents of
expressionism is Arnold Schoenberg.

ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874-1951)

Arnold Schoenberg was an Austrian composer born last September
13, 1874, in a working-class of Suburb of Vienna,
Austria. He was famous as the exponent of the twelve-
tone system with twelve tones related only to one
another also known as the serial technique. He was
influenced by Richard Wagner, a German composer.
His contribution to music includes atonality, meaning

P14
There are stages of musical movements. These stages have distinct characteristics and they contain the
improved musical elements that were used in the performances of the 20th century music. This became the
performance practices of all musical genres that were observed in this generation.
Composers and performers have a big role in defining these musical elements into their compositions and
performances. From basic elements, they made them into more complex but more refining that is good to hear.
These elements are evident in the following stages of music the movement:
POST- ROMANTICISM was characterized by chromatic harmonies, programmatic elements, expansive melodies,
and lush orchestration.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC stepped in the later part of the 20th century and was created wholly or in part through
electronic means or recording devices such as tape recorders, synthesizers, and/ or computers.
A musical style was developed initially by African Americans in Chicago and New York by emphasizing
syncopation and inflected melodies called jazz.
The Second Viennese School also developed serialism (sometimes used as a synonym for dodecaphonic) which
consists of any number of musical constraints that are organized using specific order through manipulation.
INDETERMINACY, also known as Aleatoric Music is a style that evolved in the mid-20th century which relied on
randomness and chance.
Parallel harmonies and the use of a non-traditional scale were also observed in French-style compositions in
impressionism that occurs in the late 19th and early 20th century. Also, a German-style is marked by angular
melodies, extreme dissonance, irregular rhythmic groupings developed in early 20th called expressionism.
MINIMALISM in music was characterized by the endless repetition of short melodic patterns, complex cross-
rhythms, and the tonal/ modal principles. In the late 20th century, neo-romanticism musical style was developed
that returned the tonal principles characterized by heightened emotion.
Musical Elements Used in Stages
A Composition is a highly disciplined art that requires mastery over often very sophisticated materials and a
creative impulse which origins and mental processes remain a mystery. In the 20th century, there are elements
of music and musical styles observed, and these are the elements that tend to be basic but were enhanced by
the composers of different movements carried out to the height of their knowledge, talent, and skills.
These elements are evident from the different stages of movements of music in the 20th century.
P15
3. NEOCLASSICISM
Neo-classicism music is different from the two movements. This is light,
entertaining, cool, and independent of its emotional content. The composition style
used by the composer was the seven-note diatonic scale. This period combines tonal
harmonies applying with slight dissonance which has a three- movement format like
shifting time signatures, complex but exciting rhythmic patterns, as well as harmonic
dissonance that produce harsh chords. The composers of this time in neo-classicism
are Francis Poulenc, Igor Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith, and Sergei Prokofeiff.
IGOR STRAVINSKY (1882-1971)
Igor Stravinsky was a Russian born composer and
conductor who became both and American and a French
citizen, he was born last June 17, 1882, in Oraniaenbaum
(now Lomonosov) Russia. His style of music is
neoclassical which uses scale, cords, and tone color in a
clear and traditional way with frequent changes in meter
signature, offbeat syncopation, and displacing regular
accent as he utilize. He adopted the forms of 18th century
music with his contemporary style of writing, very
structured, precise,
controlled, full of artifice, and theatricality despite its
shocking modernity. In 1939, he went to USA and venture another style of music to
experience his passion and

Stravinsky was able to produce a musical output of approximately 127 works,
including concerti, orchestral music, instrumental music, operas, and ballets, solo
vocal, and choral music. On April 6, 1971 he died in New York City. The following are
the works of Stravinsky:

In your previous grade lessons, you have learned about the different music from the Baroque
Period, Medieval Period, Romantic Period, Classical Period, and 20th Century. These periods
taught us how music was and today.
Meanwhile, in the previous lesson, you have learned about the stages of movements of music
from Post-Romanticism to Neo-Romanticism and the improvisations of the basic elements in
each stage. To fully understand and appreciate music as a whole, this lesson will let you
experience and explore the Musical forms used by all musicians to create music and how do
the performers perform the created piece.
As a musician, it is important to understand the musical form of a piece. Whether you’re a
pianist or just curious about music, understanding the musical form helps in the
understanding of the structure of a piece. It also speeds up the learning process.
These are the most common musical forms:
• Strophic (AAA)
• Through-Composed (ABCDE.)
• Binary (AB)
• Ternary (ABA)
• Rondo (ABACA) or (ABACABA)
• Arch (ABCBA)
• Sonata (Exposition, Development, Recapitulation)
• Theme And Variations
It’s important to understand how musical form works because it’s the basic structure of an
entire work.
MUSICAL FORMS
STROPHIC FORM
The strophic form is one of the most common musical forms. It’s also called a song form or verse form.
Because of its repetitiveness typically featuring an AAA structure. It is the most basic of all the forms in
music.
An example of the strophic form in a folk song would be “Leron Leron Sinta”. A church hymn such as
“Amazing Grace” or even a simple nursery tune like “Mary Had A Little Lamb”.
THROUGH-COMPOSED FORM
A composition that is entirely continuous is called “Through-composed form”. It is any large-scale
thematic material that is not repeated, and each section sounds like something completely different.
Typically, it is featuring the ABCD structure.
It’s non-sectional and everything operates independently of one another. This is a lot different
compared to strophic form because nothing is repeated. In song form, through-composed music gives
each verse its own unique melody.
In general, through-composed music is really interesting to listen to. None of the music is
repeated, so you will only hear something happen once. Most through-composed pieces are quite short,
although it is common to hear it being used in some opera works. An example of through-composed
music in popular music would be the Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

Nationalistic composers and musical innovators were misled in the 20th century

Russian composers like Bela Bartok and Sergei Prokofieff who were the neoclassicist

of polytonality that uses two or more tonal centers simultaneously.
In Russia, five highly considered gifted individuals that infused chromatic harmony,
incorporated with Russian folk music, liturgical chants in their thematic materials namely
Modest Mussorgsky, Mili Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, Cesar Cui, and Nikolai Rimsky
Korsakov. Furthermore, Erik Satie, a French composer who gave a colorful figure in the early
20th century, specifically avant-garde and modern nationalism

P26
ARCH FORM
The arch form is an ABCBA structure. It is called “Arch” because the structure of the music moves in
this form. There is always a new material in each of the first three sections. Once it reaches the C
section, the music simply moves in reverse order. It goes back through the B material and concluding
with the main A theme.
While those sections playback in the reverse order, they can be varied. They can have changes to
rhythm and style as long as the thematic material is the same.
This musical form is entirely symmetric. While arch form is not as common as ternary or binary, there
are some popular instances of this happening in music.
The famous composer who was noted to use “rondo” is Bela Bartok. He used it widely in his string
quartet music, most notably the fourth and fifth. It is also present in his second piano concerto. Samuel
Barber also used arch form in his Adagio for strings. Arch form is essentially a rondo form, but
symmetrical.
SONATA FORM
The sonata form is a musical composition that is organized in three distinct sections. It consists of
exposition, development, and recapitulation.
In the exposition, we are presented with two subjects, basically binary form. The first subject is in the
tonic key while the second moves to the sub dominant. If it is a minor key sonata, then it will work from
within the minor key moving to the relative major.
Usually, the development section is thicker in musical texture and full in unstable harmonic structure.
Instead of just settling in one key, this section will sometimes travel through multiple modulations. The
development section features a completely new theme.
The recapitulation is a clear restatement of the exposition and rolls in effortlessly out of the development
section. It is often varied. Usually, it returns with a different dynamic than it is the first appearance in the
exposition. This helps set a new mood.
THEME AND VARIATIONS
The main theme is developed throughout subsequent sections in this musical form. In the first section,
the main theme is first introduced. After that section comes to a close, and the first variation is
introduced.
This variation along with the rest will follow the same harmonic progressions. In each new variation,
there can be changes to the rhythm, articulations, and style of the piece. In some instances, the key
signature can also change, however, it will still follow the relative harmonic structure in the new key.
Countermelodies are also quite common and continue to add on and change in each variation. There
are also changes to the meter, dynamics, mood, and even the instrumentation. Other piano
compositions such as Brahms Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann, Beethoven’s 32 variations
in C minor and the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star variations by Mozart are also great examples
