 Describe distinctive musical elements of given pieces in 20th century

styles.

Welcome to the first topic of the lesson. You will be

learning the transition of the music of the 20th century. So,
what are you waiting for? Start having fun and be informed of
the different movements in music.

In your lessons on vocal music of the romantic period in Grade 9, you sang
and performed themes of selected songs. Vocal music was one of the best tools for
expressing one’s feelings. The romantic period’s basic quality is emotional
subjectivity, the composer’s feelings of grandiosity, intimacy, unpredictability,
sadness, rapture, and longing. To fully understand and appreciate music as a whole,
this module will let you experience and explore the transitory period in the music of
the 20th century. Through understanding the past, we learn to appreciate the things
we enjoy today.

Music of the 20th Century:

The musical works of the 20th century introduced new styles and movements
of music with dissonances, percussive sounds, and irregular rhythms. Music of the
20th century was greatly influenced by the movements in Europe in the context of
Impressionism, Expressionism, Neo-classicism, Avant-Garde and Modern
Nationalism. These musical movements contribute various styles and distinctive
compositions and arrangements behind their innovative and experimental styles.

“The Transitory Period and the Musical Movement”

What is It

1.

It is a musical style that produces new indirect musical colors that lightly
overlapped in different chords with each other. It works on nature sounds like the
splashing of the waves, flowing river, chirping of the birds, and the soft music evoked
and its beauty, likeness, and brilliance. Impressionism normally gives the feeling of
finality to a piece, moods and textures, harmonic vagueness about the structure of
certain chords, and the use of a whole-tone scale.

Among the most famous impressionist composers in the world, both

developed a particular style of composition were Claude Debussy and Joseph
Maurice Ravel.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862-1918)

He was born last August 22, 1862, in St. Germain-en-Laye in France. With his
intention to change the sequence of music from traditional and
conventional ways, he found new ways in evolving into a new
language of possibilities in harmony, rhythm, form, texture,
and color which describes distinctive musical elements. He
acquired and gained refutations as an erratic pianist and rebel
in theory and harmony added with other systems of musical
composition because of his passion for music. Fortunately
won the top prize at the Prix de Rome competition with his
composition (“L’ Enfant Prodigue”).
Among his composition were represented by the following
works: Ariettes Oubliees, Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,
String Quartet, Pelleas et Melisande (1895), La Mer (1905),
Images, Suite Bergamasque, and Estampes, Claire de Lune (moonlight). He was
able to compose musical pieces more or less 227 which include orchestral music,
chamber music, piano music, operas, ballets, songs, and other vocal music. He was
inspired by Franz Liszt, Fredrick Chopin, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Giuseppe
Verdi.
He was called the “Father of the modern school of composition” that marks
him on the styles of later 20th century composers like Igor Stravinsky, Edgar Varese,
and Olivier Messiaen. He ventured visual arts through the influenced by Monet,
Pissarro, Manet, Degas and Renoir. Furthermore, he indulged also in literary arts
significantly influenced by Mallarme, Verlaine, and Rimbaud. As a person he was
tender, loving and compassionate, he died with cancer in Paris last March 25, 1918
at the height of the First World War.

MAURICE RAVEL (1875-1937)

He was the son of a Basque mother and a Swiss

father and born in Ciboure, France. At the age of 14, he
entered the Paris Conservatory with the eminent French
composer Gabriel Faure and composed a number of
masterpieces where he studied music. He characterized with
unique innovative but not an atonal style of harmonic
treatment with intricate and sometimes modal and extended
chordal components.
Ravel’s works are only musically satisfying but also
pleasantly dissonant elegantly sophisticated applying
harmonic progressions and modulations. Refining his
delicacy and color, contrast and effects add to the difficulty in the proper execution of
the musical passages with water in its flowing and stormy moods, as well as with
human characterizations where many of his works dealt with it. He was a
perfectionist composer adheres to classical form specifically ternary structure; he
was considered as a strong advocate of Russian music and admired the music of
Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, and Mendelsshon. Ravel’s output comprises approximately
60 pieces for piano, chamber music, song cycles, ballet, and opera. These are the
following works:
 Pavane f vcor a Dead Princess (1899)
  Jeux d’Eau or Water Fountains (1901)
 String Quartet (1903)
 Sonatine for Piano (c.1904)
 Miroirs (Mirrors), 1905
 Gaspard de la Nuit (1908)
 Valses Nobles et Sentimentales (1911)
 Le Tombeau de Couperin (c.1917)
 Rhapsodie Espagnole
 Bolero
 Daphnis et Chloe (1912)
 La Valse (1920)
 Tzigane (1922)
Unfortunately, he died with Aphasia on December 28, 1937.

2. 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 the
absence of key evolved from an emphasis on chromatic
harmony in the liberal use of the twelve tones in a chromatic
scale. Apart from it, he also includes serialism and
Sprechstimmre which is a manner of performing a song with
half-sung and half-spoken. In 1908, he began to write approximately 213 musical
compositions include concerte, orchestral music, piano music, opera, choral music,
songs, and other instrumental music. His works include the following:
 Verklarte Nacht, Three Pieces for Piano, op. 1
 Pierrot Lunaire,
 Gurreleider
 Verklarte Nacht (Transfigured Night, 1899)
He died last July 13, 195, in Los Angeles, California, USA where he had settled
since 1934.
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 18 th 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
wanted to integrate his knowledge in Russian music. However, he opted and slowly
turned back into his nationalistic style of Russian music and cultivate his neoclassical
style in which Stravinsky’s work.
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:
Firebird (1910), Petrushka (1911), The Rite of Spring (1913), The wedding
(1923), AND Agon (1957), orchestral music like Symphonies of wind instruments
(1920), concerto for pianos and winds (1924), Dumbarton Oaks Concerto (1938),
Symphony in C (1940), Symphony in 3 movements (1945), and Ebon concerto
(1945); choral music like Symphony of Psalms (1930), Canticum Sacrum (1955),
Threni (1958), and Requiem Canticles (1966); and operas like The Rake’s Progress
(1951), opera oratorio Oedipus Rex (1927), and other dramatic works like the
Soldier’s Hale (1918).
SERGEI PROKOFIEFF (1891-1953)
He was born last 1891 in Ukraine. He combined the
movements of music like Neoclassicism, Nationalism, and
Avant-Garde composition. With his progressive technique,
pulsating rhythms, melodic directness, and a resolving
dissonance he was uniquely recognized. In writing
symphonies, chamber music, concerte, and solo instrumental
music, he became a productive and prolific composer. He
worked and linked with other composers, combined styles of
Haydn and Mozart as classicist and Igor Stravinsky as Neo-Classicist also inspired
by Beethoven with two highly regarded violin concerte and two string quartets.
With his desire to write music for the ballet and opera, he was given a chance
to contact with Diaghilev and Stravinsky for Romeo and Juliet for ballet, and War and
Peace for opera. He intendedly wrote a light-hearted orchestral work for children to
pacify the continuing government restrictions and disciplinary actions at the time of
Avant-Garde composers entitled Peter and the Wolf. He died
in Moscow on March 15, 1953.

BELA BARTOK (1881-1945)

Bela Bartok was born last March 25, 1881 in
Nagyszentmiklos, Hungary (Romania). Began lessons with
his mother and made folk songs transcription. He opened the
way to new modal kinds of harmony and irregular meter. He
was a Hungarian composer and pianist, created a distinctive
musical style using folk music. He excelled in instrumental
music writing many works for solo piano pieces, six string
quartets and other chamber music, three concertos for piano,
one for violin and several compositions for orchestras, the
reinterpreted, traditional-musical forms like the rondo, fugue, and sonata. He utilized
changing meters and strong syncopations in his music style.
The six string quartet is the greatest achievement of his creative life that
lasted for full 30 years for their completion. He combined difficult and dissonant
music with mysterious sounds as description of the composition.
Approximately 700 musical compositions include concerti, orchestral music,
piano music, instrumental music, dramatic music, choral music, and songs. The
concerto for orchestra in 1943, is a five-movement work featuring the exceptional
talents of each various soloist in an intricately constructive piece. On the other hand,
Allegro Barbaro (1911) drew percussive sounds with swirling rhythms where a solo
piano is punctuated. Meanwhile, Mikrokosmos contains a collection of six books as a
legacy in music introducing and familiarizing contemporary harmony and rhythm to
the piano students technically and progressively. In 1940, he left Hungary for the
United States. On September 26, 1945, he died of leukemia in New York City
Hospital.
4. AVANT-GARDE

This form of music was considered as the vanguard of experimentation or

innovation period. The existing aesthetic and conventional type of music has been
put on to criticize, rejecting the status quo in favor of unique or original elements.
Adopting extreme composition within a certain tradition the so- called “Experimental
Music”. The new attitude will be altered toward musical movement and it varies in the
continuity where the notes being grouped into.
The proponents of the Avant-Garde Movement of Music are George Gershwin,
Leonard Bernstein, and Phillip Glass.

GEORGE GERSHWIN
 He was considered as a phenomenal composer, a cross-over artist, and a
father of American Jazz. Noteworthy of evidence with his numerous songs, serious
compositions remain highly popular in the classical repertoire, and with the mixture
of the primitive and sophisticated music which lasted long after his death. He
composed 369 musical works, including orchestral music, chamber music, musical
theater, film musicals, operas, and songs.

Among the compositions are the following:

Rhapsody in Blue (1924), and American in Paris

classical music influenced by Ravel, Stravinsky, Berg,
and Schoenberg as well as the group of contemporary
that shapes the character of his major works like half
jazz and half classical known as “Les Six”. He died last
July 11, 1937 in Hollywood, California, USA.

LEONARD BERNSTEIN (1918-1990)

This notable composerwas born in

Massachusetts, USA, he commended himself as a
charismatic conductor, pianist, composer, and
lecturer to his many followers. On November 14,
1943, he was requested to be a substitute for the
ailing Bruno Walter in conducting the New York
Philharmonic Orchestra in a concert.
Bernstein’s compositions for the stage are the
key that made people known him. Among these is
the musical West Side Story (1957), an American version of Romeo and Juliet,
which displays a tuneful, off-beat, and highly atonal approach to the songs. Other
outputs include another Broadway hit Candide (1956) and the much-celebrated
Mass (1971).
His musical compositions total around 90. He composed the music for the film
On the Waterfront (1954). He was fondly remembered for his television series
“Young People’s Concerts” (1958–1973) that demonstrated the sounds of the
various orchestral instruments and explained basic music principles to young
audiences, as well as his Harvardian Lectures. He died on October 14, 1990, in New
York City, USA.

PHILLIP GLASS (1937)

He is one of the Avant-Garde composers who also explored the areas of
ballet, opera, theatre, film, and even television jingles. His style of music was
criticized as uneventful and shallow because of its application to new sound yet
effective and compelling style.
 He was born in New York, USA of Jewish parents, and learned violin and flute
at the age of 15. He was inspired by a renowned Indian satirist Ravi Shankar, and
assisted the recording soundtrack for Conrad Rooks film Chappaqua. He produced
and formed ensemble works such as Music in Similar Motion (1969), Music in
Changing Paris (1970). He has several achievements in the light of music, are the

Mahatma Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy, Martin Luther King, and Egyptian
pharaoh.
In this time, he combined the overlapping style of composition blended with a
repetitive signature in the grandeur on stage. He obtained 170 compositions and
now living in Nova Scotia, Canada, and New York, USA.

5. 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 Korsakov. Furthermore, Erik Satie, a French composer who gave
