TWENTIETH CENTURY MUSIC

- A musical and poetic school of the late 19th century portrayed fleeting ideas and images - Aimed at subjective and suggestive effects other than objective representation - Makes use of dissonant (chords which are rough and unresolved in a series, thus weakening harmony - Much attributed to Claude Debussy

SONATA BY WOLFGANG MOZART

LE SACRE DU PRINTEMPS- Stravinsky - Rite of Spring - Filled with strange colors, distorted lines of sound, superimposed rhythms, and burst of cacophony - First heard in 1913

- Used polyrhythms, polytonal harmony, and unhackneyed instrumental combinations - Seemed defiantly indifferent to tradition and heritage - After 50 years, it no longer shocks people - One of the masterpieces of the twentieth century

PIERROT LUNAIRE BY ARNOLD SCHOENBERG

- light. - entertaining. -cool. - independent of its emotional content. -recognizes the fusion of traditional and modern music.

- Combination of the 18th and 19th century music. - Flourished not only in Europe but also in the United States. - Involves change in melody, renunciation of subjectivity, reconquest of serenity, and collection of triads and diatonics. - There was renewed interest in free flow and homophony.

- Interest in the traditional way of making music was revived. - The use of woodwind instruments and brass instead of strings is typical to the neoclassicist music.

IGOR STRAVINSKY- Russian composer who composed Octet which is one of the earliest masterpieces of this new style. - he employed the use of flute, clarinet, pair of bassoon, trumpet and trombones.

Max Reger ( Johann Baptist Joseph Maximilian Reger ) Studied music in Munich with Hugo Riemann. and Wiesbaden

Erik Satie ( ric Alfred Leslie Satie )a French composer and pianist. Satie was a colorful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.

Maurice Ravel (Joseph-Maurice Ravel)a French composer known especially for his melodies, orchestral and instrumental textures and effects. Much of his piano music, chamber music, vocal music and orchestral music has entered the standard concert repertoire.

Claude Debussy ( Achille Claude Debussy )

Prelude to an Afternoon of a Faun, La Mer, Images, and Claire de Lune.

Arnold SchoenbergHe developed the twelve-tone technique, a widely influential compositional method of manipulating an ordered series of all twelve notes in the chromatic scale. He also coined the term developing variation, and was the first modern composer to embrace ways of developing motifs without resorting to the dominance of a centralized melodic idea.

a leading German composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras

Richard Strauss

Francis Poulenc (Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc)a French composer and a member of the French group Les Six.He composed solo piano music, chamber music, oratorio, choral music, opera, ballet music, and orchestral music. Critic Claude Rostand, in a July 1950 Paris-Presse article, coined the term "half monk, half thug" (translated by Ivry from "le moine et le voyou"), a phrase that would often be used to describe Poulenc.

is among the most significant German composers of his time.His early works are in a late romantic idiom, and he later produced expressionist works, rather in the style of early Arnold Schoenberg, before developing a leaner, contrapuntally complex style in the 1920s. This style has been described as neoclassical, but is very different from the works by Igor Stravinsky labeled with that term, owing more to the contrapuntal language of Bach than the Classical clarity of Mozart.

Paul Hindemith

Arthur HoneggerA Swiss composer, who was born in France and lived a large part of his life in Paris. He was a member of Les Six. His most frequently performed work is probably the orchestral work Pacific 231, which was inspired by the sound of a steam locomotive.

A son of a leading bass at the Mariinsky theater in St. Petersburg. He used folk tunes, but not in any symphonic manner. His forms are additive rather than symphonic, created from placing blocks of materials together without disguising the joints. The binding energy is much more rhythmic than harmonic and the driving pulsations mark a crucial change in the nature of Western Music. His works include Firebird and The Rite of Spring.

Bela Bartok (Bla Viktor Jnos Bartk)a Hungarian composer and pianist.

Charles IvesHe is one of the first American composers of international renown. His music was largely ignored during his life, and many of his works went unperformed for many years. Combined the American popular and church-music traditions of his youth with European art music.
