    AVANT- GARDE MUSIC, MODERN NATIONALISM
    IMPRESSIONISM
    -Is a style of music that makes use of sound to let the listener feel the moods that focus on the
    th
    structure of music. It started and developed in France in the 19 century.

    Characteristics:
    1. The rhythm of impressionism music is irregular in terms of phrases.
    2. It avoids the traditional harmonic progression
    3. It has unresolved dissonance
    4. Frequently uses modality

    Dissonance – is the lack of agreement and consistency in the progress of harmony of music
    Modality–used in music composition, meaning that the traditional way of composing was
    abandoned in Impressionism music

    instrumental music, opera, ballets, solo vocal and choral music.
    ==========================================================================

    PRIMITIVISM
    Primitivistic music is tonal through the stressing of one note as more important than the
    others. New sounds are synthesized from old ones by juxtaposing two simple events to create a
    more complex new event. In its purest form, primitivism combines two familiar or simple ideas
    together Creating new sounds. Primitivism has links to Exoticism through the use of materials from
    other cultures, to Nationalism through the use of materials indigenous to specific countries and to
    Ethnicism through the use of materials from European
    ethnic groups.
    Two well-known proponents of this style were Stravinsky and Bela Bartok.
    It eventually evolved into Neo-classicism.
    As a neo-classicist, primitivist and nationalist composer, Bartok used Hungarian folk themes
    and rhythm. Bartok is most famous for his Six String Quartet (1908) – these represents the
    greatest achievement for his life.

     The Concerto for Orchestra (1943), a five movement work composed late in Bartok’s life.
     Allegro Barbaro (1911) – his short and popular solo piano
     Mikrokosmos (1926) – a set of 6 books containing progressive technical piano pieces.

    Bartok’s approximately 700 musical compositions include concerti, orchestral music, piano
    music, instrumental music, dramatic music, choral music and songs.

    NEO- CLASSICISM

    Was a moderating factor between the emotional excesses of the Romantic period and the
    violent impulses of the soul in expressionism. In essence, a partial return to an earlier style of
    writing, particularly the tightly-knit form of the Classical period, while combining tonal harmonies
    with slight dissonances. It also adopted a modern, freer use of the seven-note diatonic scale.

    Examples of Neo-classicism are


    Bela Bartok’s Song of the Bagpipe and Piano Sonata.

    The Neo-classicist style was also’ used by composers such as Francis Poulenc, Igor
    Stravinsky, Paul Hindemith and Sergie Prokofieff.

     He also wrote Peter and the Wolf – a lighthearted orchestral work


     He was highly successful in his piano music (piano concerti and sonatas)
     Symphony no.1 (also called Classical Symphony)– his significant compositions
     He also composed violin sonatas, some of which are also performed on the flute; two highly
    regarded violin concerti and two string quartet inspired by Beethoven.
    His works includes the following:

    1. Concert Champetre (1928) – harpsichord concerto


    2. Concerto for Two Pianos (1932) – combines the classical touches
    Of Mozart with a mixture of style of Ravel
    3. Concerto for Solo Piano (1949) – written for the Boston
    Symphony Orchestra
    4. Les Mamelles de Tiresias (1944)
    5. Dialogues des Carmelites (1956)
    6. La Voix Humane (1958)

    AVANT-GARDE MUSIC
    Closely associated with Electronic music. The avant-garde movement dealt with the
    parameters or the dimensions of sound in space.

    The avant-garde style exhibited a new attitude toward musical mobility.

    The unconventional methods of sound and form, as well as the absence of traditional rules
    governing harmony, melody and rhythm make the whole
    concept of avant-garde music

    Avant-Garde Composers:
    1. George Gershwin
    2. Leonard Bernstein
    3. John Cage
    4. Philip Glass
    5. Olivier Messiaen
    6. Pierre Boulez
    His works includes the following:

    1. West Side Story (1957)


    2. Broadway hit Candide (1956)
    3. Mass (1971)
    4. On the Waterfront (1954)
    5. Young Peoples Concerts (1958)
    His works includes the following:
    1. Music in Similar Motion (1969)
    2. Music in Changing Parts (1970)
    3. Satyagraha (1980)
    4. Akhnaten (1984)

    Modern Nationalist
    A looser form of 20th century music development focused on nationalist composers and musical
    innovators who sought to combine modern techniques with folk materials.
    In Eastern Europe, prominent figures of this style included the Hungarian Bela Bartok and the
    Russian Sergei Prokofieff, who were neo-classicist to a certain extent.
     In Russia, a highly gifted generation of creative individuals known as the Russian Five:
     Modest Mussorgsky
     Mili Balakirev
     Alexander Borodin
     Cesar Cui
     Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov
    ELECTRONIC MUSIC

    The capacity of electronic machines such as synthesizers, amplifiers, tape recorders,


    and loud speakers to create different sounds was put to creative use by 20 th century composers
    like Edgar Varese,Karlheinz Stockhaustein and Mario Davidovsky.

    Music that uses the tape recorders called musique concrete or concrete music. The
    sounds are arranged by the composer in different ways. The composer is able to experiment with
    different sounds that cannot be produced by regular music instruments such as piano or violin.
    CHANCE MUSIC

    Refers to a style in which piece sounds different 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 emanate from the surroundings, both natural and man-made, such as
    honking cars, rustling leaves, blowing wind, dripping water or a ringing phone.
    An example is John Cages Four Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds, where the pianist
    merely opens the piano lid and keeps silent for the duration of the piece.
