4. Most impressionist works centered on
nature and its beauty, lightness and
brilliance
It was an attempt not to depict reality, but
merely to suggest it
It was meant to create emotional mood
rather than a specific picture
Chords did not have a definite order and a
sense of clear resolution
5. (1862-1918) He is a primary exponent of
the impressionist movement and the focal
point for other impressionist composers
He changed the course of musical
development by dissolving traditional rules
and conventions into a new language of
possibilities in harmony, rhythm, form
texture and color.
6. 1875-1937 Uniquely innovate but not
atonal style of harmonic treatment
Intricate and sometimes modal melodies
and extended chordal components
His work is pragmatic in nature, visual
imagery is either suggested or portrayed
Works deal with water in it flowing or
stormy moods as well as with human
characteristics
7. 1874-1951 Dissonant to atonal as he
explored the use of chromatic harmonies
Although full melodic and lyrical interest,
his music is also extremely complex,
creating heavy demands on the listener
The traditional concepts of consonances
and dissonances do not apply in atonal
works.
8. Music is tonal through the asserting 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
9. It has link to exoticism through the
use of materials from other cultures.
Nationalism through the use of
materials indigenous to specific
countries, and ethnicism through the
use of materials from European ethnic
groups
