SUMMARY
The early half of the 20th century also gave rise to new musical styles,
which were not quite as extreme as the electronic, chance, and minimalist
styles that arose later. These new styles were impressionism, expressionism,
neo-classicism, Avant garde music, and modern nationalism.

 Impressionism made use of the whole-tone scale. It also applied

suggested, rather than depicted, reality. It created a mood rather than a
definite picture. It had a translucent and hazy texture; lacking a
dominant-tonic relationship. It made use of overlapping chords, with 4th,
5th, octaves, and 9th intervals, resulting in a non-traditional harmonic
order and resolution.

 Expressionism revealed the composer’s mind, instead of presenting an

impression of the environment. It used atonality and the twelve-tone
scale, lacking stable and conventional harmonies. It served as a medium
for expressing strong emotions, such as anxiety, rage, and alienation.
 Neo-classicism was a partial return to a classical form of
writing music with carefully modulated dissonances. It made
use of a freer seven-note diatonic scale.

 The avant garde style was associated with electronic music

and dealt with the parameters or dimensions of sound in
space. It made use of variations of self-contained note
groups to change musical continuity, and improvisation,
with an absence of traditional rules on harmony, melody,
and rhythm.

 Modern nationalism is a looser form of 20th century music

development focused on nationalist composers and musical
innovators who sought to combine modern techniques with
folk materials.
Musique concrète, (French:“concrete music”),
• The fundamental principle of musique
concrète lies in the assemblage of various
natural sounds recorded on tape to produce
a montage of sound. The technique was
developed about 1948 by the French
composer Pierre Schaefer
• Music that uses the tape recorder is called musique
concrete, or concrete music. The composer records
different sounds that are heard in the environment
such as the bustle of traffic, the sound of the wind,
the barking of dogs, the strumming of a guitar, or
the cry of an infant. These sounds are arranged by
the composer in different ways like by playing the
tape recorder in its fastest mode or in reverse. In
musique concrete, the composer is able to
experiment with different sounds that cannot be
produced by regular musical instruments such as
the piano or the violin.
