    Impressionism

    Impressionism

    Impressionism in music was a movement among


    various composers in Western classical music (mainly
    during the late 19th and early 20th centuries) whose
    music focuses on mood and atmosphere, “conveying
    the moods and emotions aroused by the subject
    rather than a detailed tone-picture”.
    It is sentimental melodies and dramatic
    emotionalism of the preceding Romantic Period their
    themes and melody are easy to recognize and enjoy.
    Expressionism
    EXPRESSIONISM

    Expressionism in music 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.
    ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874–1951)
    Arnold Schoenberg was born in a working-class suburb of
    Vienna, Austria
    on September 13, 1874.
    He is credited with the development of the twelve-tone
    system. Although full of melodic and lyrical interest, his music is
    also extremely complex, creating heavy demands on the
    listener.
    Schoenberg died on July 13, 1951 in Los Angeles, California,
    USA where he had settled since 1934.
    SERGEI PROKOFIEFF (1891–1953)
    Sergei Prokofieff is regarded today as a combination of neo-
    classicist, nationalist, and avant garde composer. His style is
    uniquely recognizable for its progressive technique,
    pulsating rhythms, melodic directness, and a resolving
    dissonance.
    He became prolific in writing symphonies, chamber music,
    concerti, and solo instrumental music.
    • Musical Works of Prokofieff
    Peter and the Wolf - a lighthearted orchestral work
    intended for children.
    Symphony no. 1 (Classical Symphony) his most accessible
    orchestral work linked to the combined styles of classicist
    Haydn and Mozart and neo-classicist Stravinsky.
    Ryan Cayabyab is a well-known Filipino
    musical composer. He used synthesizers,
    amplifiers, tape recorders, and
    loudspeakers to create different sounds.
    He used Electronic Music to create a new
    form of sounds/music.
    The four minutes and thirty-three seconds
    (4’33”) is an example of Chance Music
    wherein the piece always sounds different
    at every performance including the use of
    natural elements that become parts of the
    music
    George Gershwin was born in New
    York to Russian Jewish immigrants.
    His older brother Ira was his artistic
    collaborator who wrote the lyrics of
    his songs. His first song was written
    in 1916 and his first Broadway
    musical La La Lucille in 1919.

    He was considered as the “Father of


    American Jazz,” his “mixture of the primitive
    and the sophisticated” gave his music an
    appeal that has lasted long after his death.
    • Electronic Music
    The capacity of electronic machines such as
    synthesizers, amplifiers, tape recorders, and
    loudspeakers to create different sounds was
    given importance by 20th century composers
    like Edgar Varese, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and
    Mario Davidovsky.
    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
