It demands considerable technical virtuosity from the performer, which is the character, ability, or skill of a virtuoso—a person who is exemplary in musical technique or execution. + Ravel's works include the following: Pavane for a Dead Princess (1899) String Quortet (/903) Sonotine for Piano (c.1904) apsodie Espagnole je strongly adhered to the classical form, specifically its ternary structure JESSON 2 —EXPBESSHONISM— The term "Expressionism" was originally used in visual and literary arts. It was probably first applied to music in 1918, especially to Schoenberg because, like the painter Wassily Kandinsky (|866 - 1944), he veered away from "traditional forms of beauty" to convey powerful feelings in his music. ‘FEATURES OF EXPRESSIONISM MUSIC ARE AS FOLLOWS: + Ahigh degree of dissonance (dissonance is the quality of sounds that seems unstable) + Extreme contrasts of dynamics (from pianissimo to fortissimo, very soft to very loud) + Constant changing of textures + "Distorted" melodies and harmonies + Angular melodies with wide leaps —— Composers: Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951) * Born on September |3, |874 ina working-class suburb of Vienna, Austria. + He taught himself music theory but took lessons in counterpoint. + His works were greatly influenced by the German composer Richard Wagner as evident in his symphonic poem Pelleas et Melisande, Op. 5 (1703), a counterpoint of Debussy's opera of the same title. + His works include the following: Verklarte Nacht Three Pieces for Piano, op.

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. Composers: |. Igor Stravinsky (|882 - 197!) + Stravinsky was born in Lomonosov, Russia on June I7, 1882. + In his early music, he reflected the influence of his teacher, the Russian composer Nikolai Rimsky- Kor sakov. + His first notable composition, "The Firebird Suite (1910)," his skillful handling of material and rhythmic inventiveness went beyond anything written by his Russian predecessors. + His musical style added a new flavor to his nationalistic musical style. + The Rite of Spring (1913) was another superb work showcasing his new technique. + Acclaimed works by Stravinsky includes: Ballet Petrouchka (I9II The Nightingale (1914) Three Tales for Children (1917) Pulcinella (1920) Duo Concertant (1932) The Rake's Progress (I?51] + Stravinsky wrote approximately I27 works, including concerti, orchestral music, instrumental music, operas, ballets, solo vocal, and choral music.

The new attitude will be altered toward musical movement and it varies in the continuity where the notes being grouped into. Composers: |. George Gershwin + Was considered as a phenomenal composer, a cross-over artist, anda father of. American Jazz.

JESSON 6 MODERN NATIONALISM + Nationalistic composers and musical innovators were misled in the 20th century music development combined with modern techniques with folk materials. + Prominent Russian composers like Bela Bartok and Sergei Prokofieff who were the neoclassicist infused classical techniques crossing rhythms and shifting meters. + They made extensive use 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 Kor sakov. + Erik Satie, a French composer who gave a colorful figure in the early 20th century, specifically avant- garde and modern nationalism. Technology has been a game-changer in music, It has produced electronic music devices such as cassette tape recorders, compact discs and their variants, the video compact disc (VCD), and the digital video disc (DVD), MP3, MP4, digital music players, smartphones, karaoke players, and synthesizers. These devices are used for creating and recording music to add to or to replace acoustical sounds. SLECTRONIC Music The ability of electronic machines such as synthesizers, amplifiers, tape recorders, and loudspeakers to produce different sounds was popularized by 20th- century notable composers. Musique concrete, or concrete music uses the tape recorder. ‘Any sound that the composer will hear in his surroundings will be recorded. These sounds are arranged by the composer in different ways, like playing the tape recorder in its fastest mode or reverse. In musique concrete, the composer can experiment with different sounds that cannot be produced by regular musical instruments such as the piano or the violin The first electronic devices for performing music were developed at the end of the |9th century, and shortly afterward, Italian futurists explored sounds that had not been considered musical. |. Edgard Varése (1883 - 1965) + He was born on December 22, 1883, Edgard (also spelled Edgar) Varése was considered an “innovative French- + born composer." + He pioneered and created new sounds that bordered between music and noise and spent his life and career mostly in the United States. + His musical compositions are characterized by: an emphasis on timbre and rhythm; and "organized sound" (certain timbres and rhythms can be grouped together in order to capture a whole new definition of sound). * "Father of Electronic Music" + He was also dubbed as the "Stratospheric Colossus of Sound." + He died on November 6, 1965. 2. Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928 - 2007) + Karlheinz Stockhausen is a central figure in the realm of electronic music. He was born in Cologne, Germany. «He had the opportunity to work with Messiaen, Schoenberg, and Webern. + Stockhausen drew inspiration from these composers as he developed his style of total serialism together with Pierre Boulez. + Stockhausen's music was initially met with resistance due to its heavily atonal content with practically no clear + melodic or rhythmic sense. Still, he continued to experimentwith musique concrete. + Some of his works include Gruppen (1957) Kontakte (1960) Hymnen (1965) Licht (Light) + It has led him to dream of concert halls in which the sound attacks the listener from every direction. + Stockhausen's works total around 31. —— Cuance Music Also known as Aleatoric music, refers to a style in which the piece always sounds differently ‘at every performance because of the random techniques of production, including the use of ring modulators or natural elements that become a part of the music. Most of the sounds emanating from the surroundings, both natural and man-made, such as honking cars, rustling leaves, blowing wind, dripping water, or a ringing phone. |. John Cage (1912 - 1992) + John Cage was known as one of the 20th-century composers with the broadest array of sounds in his works. = Cage was born in Los Angeles, California, USA, on September 5, 1912 and became one of the most original composers in the history of western music. + He challenged the very idea of music by manipulating musical instruments to attain new sounds and became the "chance music." + In one instance, Cage created a "prepared" piano, where screws and pieces of wood or paper were inserted between the piano strings to produce different percussive possibilities. + Cage became notable for his work The Four Minutes and 33 Seconds (4'33"), a chance musical work that instructed the pianist to merely open the piano lid and remain silent for the length of time indicated by the title.

Neo-romanticism- musical style that returned the tonal principles characterized by heightened emotion. Developed in the late 20th century JESSON 11 MUSICAL FORMS— 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 exomple 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". ‘THroucH-COMPOSED FORM A composition that is entirely continuous 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 ever ything operates independently of one another. Nothing is repeated, it gives each verse its own unique melody. 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. The binary form is music with an A and B section. While the material is different in each section, it is closely related. Recognizing a piece of music in binary form requires you to identify where the contrasting material is. Things to look for include changes in rhythm, key signatures, cadences, and other harmonic adjustments. There are two different versions of binary form. This includes: + Simple Binary - the A material is followed by B material that has moved to the subdominant. Example, a piece that starts in C major will conclude in G major + Rounded Binary - the rules mostly remain the same. The difference is that there is more material added to the B section. This material is pulled from part of the A section. Ternary Form The ternary form is defined as ABA structure which means the piece starts with the main theme, goes to contrasting material, and then returns with that exact main theme material to end it. The three sections of ternary form sound appear and sound like complete compositions in themselves Each of those sections concludes on a perfect authentic cadence, which provides the most closure. The mood is also an important characteristic of a ternary form. The first section might be quick and lively while the B section is quiet and less intense. Composers who use this form put a great deal of effort ensuring that the B section has a well-defined character that allows each section to sound like their own separate compositions. ‘Ronoo Form The rondo form is an ABACA or ABACABA structure. The most common forms are the 5-part and 7-part Rondo. Each section returns to the A section. However, as the sections progress, new material is added in between each A section. Can also be viewed as an extension of either ternary form or binary form. Can also be viewed as an extension of either ternary form or binary form. The additional sections help define it from other forms, especially through-composed which only introduced new material. Examples of pieces that use rondo form include: + Beethoven's Sixth Symphony + Mozart's Eine Kleine Natch Musik * Bach's E major Violin Concerto + Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 13 (final movement) firch 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. The famous composer who was noted to use "rondo" is Bela Bartok. —MUSIGA ELEMENTS Musical Evement Basic RELATED TERMS Rhythm - beat, meter, tempo, syncopation Dynamics - forte, piano, crescendo, decrescendo Melody - pitch, theme, conjunct, disconjunct ‘Harmony - chord, progression, key, tonality Tone - Color register, range, instrumentation Texture - monophonic, polyphonic, counterpoint Form - binary, ternary, strophic ‘Style - middle age. classic. baroque, renaissance Musical StEMENTS Rhythm Gives structure and pulse of the music. There are several important aspects of rhythm: duration (how long the sound, or silence lasts), tempo (how fast), and meter (how beats are patterned). Usually identifies a piece from another because it suggests the message, experience, history, culture, environment and background of society from which that piece comes. Dynamics Relate to the loudness or quietness of music. Basic terms related to dynamics are crescendo, diminuendo, and accent Name ‘Symbol Meaning piano P soft pianissimo Pp very soft pianississimo ‘PPP very very soft forte f Toud Tortissimo tf very loud Tortississimo Or very very loud mezzo-piano mp moderately soft mezzo-forte mf moderately loud decrescendo | get softer (sing from loud to soft) crescendo get louder (sing from | soft to loud) Melody Focuses on the horizontal or linear presentation of pitch (the word used to describe the highness or lowness of a musical sound) Melodies can be described into conjunct and disjunct. ‘Harmony Opposite of melody. Focuses on the verticalization of the pitch. Thought to be as an art of combining pitches into chords and carefully and usually ‘arranged into a sentence like patterns called progression. The dissonance, and consonance are the terms being described in harmony. Other terms that may relate to this are modality, tonality, and atonality of the music composition. Tone color The quality of sound Produces different and unique characteristics that have obviously produced by the singer. Another term for this is timber (tam-ber). Distinct in every singer or instrument. Texture Number of individual musical lines and the relationship of these lines to each other Can be classified into monophonic, homophonic, and polyphonic Musical form ‘An order of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic events of a piece. Designates musical division brought to a repetition of melodic material and or the presentation of new yet contrasting material. Forms can be described into strophic, through- composed, binary and ternary form. Style Knowing the unique style traits of particular historical eras can greatly enhance your musical experiences by offering clues about what the composer was trying to express, and what you should listen for when hearing a piece. Musical style is usually described based on its appearance in the world's music history.

Among the western artists who adapted these elements was Amedeo Modigliani, who used the oval faces and elongated shapes of African art in both his sculptures and paintings. A Russian art which fuses the elements of cubism ‘and futurism with body modification 2. Fauvism Used bold, vibrant colors and visual distortions. Its name was derived from les fauves (“wild beasts"), referring to the group of French expressionist painters who painted in this style. Perhaps the most known among them was Henri Matisse. Highly fashionable, bold use of color, play use of lines and colors. 3. Dadaism characterized by dream fantasies, memory images, and visual tricks and surprises-as in the paintings of Marc Chagall and Giorgio De Chirico below. Anti-art, anti-war, had political offinities with the radical left and was also anti-bourgeois (capitalist). 4, Surrealism Depicted an illogical, subconscious dream world beyond the logical, conscious, physical one, Its name came from the term “super realism." with its artworks clearly expressing a departure from reality—as though the artists were dreaming, seeing illusions, or experiencing an altered mental state. Artists painted unnerving, illogical scenes with photographic precision, created strange creatures from everyday objects and developed painting techniques that allowed the unconscious to express itself. 5. Social Realism expressed the artist's role in social reform. Here, artists used their works to protest against the injustices, inequalities, immorality, ‘and ugliness of the human condition Have addressed different issues: war, poverty, corruption, industrial and environmental hazards, and more—in the hope of raising people's awareness and pushing society to seek reforms, Draw attention to the everyday conditions of the working classes and the poor, and who are critical of the social structures that maintain these conditions ABSTRACTIONISM Also called non-objective art or non-representational art, painting, sculpture, or graphic art in which the portrayal of things from the visible world plays no part. All arts consist largely of elements that can be called abstract-elements of form, color, line, tone, and texture. Prior to the 20th century, these abstract elements were employed by artists to describe, illustrate, or reproduce the world of nature and of human civilization—and exposition dominated over expressive function. ‘Sub-mevement oF abstractionism L Cubism Highly influential visual arts style of the 20th century that was created principally by the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in Paris between 1907 and 19/4. The Cubist style emphasized the flat, two- dimensional surface of the picture plane, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modelling, and chiaroscuro and refuting time-honoured theories that art should imitate nature. Cubist painters were not bound to copying form, texture, colour, and space. Instead, they presented a new reality in paintings that depicted radically fragmented ob jects. 2. Futurism Italian Futurismo, Russian Futurism, early 20th-century artistic movement centred in Italy that emphasized the dynamism, speed, energy, and power of the machine and the vitality, change, and restlessness of modern life. During the second decade of the 20th century, the movement's influence radiated outward across most of Europe, most significantly to the Russian avant-garde. The most-significant results of the movement were in the visual arts and poetry 3. Mechanical style Result of futurist movement. In this style, basic forms such as planes, cones, spheres and cylinders all fit together perfectly and precisely with neatness in their appointed places. 4. Nonob jectivism The logical geometrical conclusion of abstractionism the very term "non-object," works in this style did not make use of figures or even representations of figures. They did not refer to recognizable objects or forms in the outside world. Lines, shapes, and colors were used in a cool, impersonal approach that aimed for balance, unity, and stability, Colors were mainly black ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM” Often use degrees of abstraction: i.e.. they depict forms unrealistically or, at the extreme end, forms not drawn from the visible world (non-ob jective). They emphasize free, spontaneous, and personal emotional expression and they exercise considerable freedom of technique and execution to attain this goal, with a particular emphasis laid on the exploitation of the variable physical character of paint to evoke expressive qualities (e.g, Sensuousness, dynamism, violence, mystery, and lyricism). Uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition. Sub movement of abstract expressicnism Pop art)- art in which common place objects (such as comic strips, soup cans, road signs, and hamburgers) were used as subject matter and were often physically incorporated into the work Optiacal art or optical art- branch of mid-20th-century geometric abstract art that deals with optical illusion. Achieved through the systematic and precise manipulation of shapes and colors The effects of Op art can be based either on perspective illusion or on chromatic tension; in painting, the dominant medium of Op art, the surface tension is usually maximized to the point at which an actual pulsation or flickering is perceived by the human eye Contemporary Art form Installation art - has joined the larger sculptural repertoire, and outdoor settings, both in open natural spaces and in urban environments attracted much interest Perfermance Art Form of modern art in which the actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time constitute the work.
