9. The Art Movement in Europe:
Impressionism
Impressionism is a movement in painting that
started in France in the 1860s.
It is characterized by visual impression of the
moment in terms of the shifting effect of color and
light.
They want to capture images without subtle
details, but through the use of bold colors. Thus,
their paintings can be very bright and vibrant.
10. What is Impressionism?
In music, Impressionism is a style of
music that makes use of sound to let
the listener feel the moods that focus
on the structure of music.
Impressionism in music also started
and developed in France in the 19th
century.
12. The rhythm of impressionism music is
irregular in terms of phrases.
It avoids the traditional harmonic
progression.
It has unresolved dissonance.
It uses the whole tone scale, uses the 9th
chord, and also frequently uses modality
and exotic scales.
13. Dissonance- is the lack of agreement
and consistency in the harmony of
music.
Modality - is derived from the word”
modal” , a general term used with
reference to melodic and harmonic
formations based on the church
modes, as opposed to those based on
the major and minor modes(tonality).
