MUSIC of the 20th CENTURY

The start of the 20th century saw the rise of distinct musical styles that reflected a move away
from the conventions of earlier classical music. These new styles were:
impressionism, expressionism, neo-classicism, avant garde music, and modern
nationalism.
IMPRESSIONISM
One of the earlier but concrete forms declaring the entry of 20 th century music was known as
impressionism. It is a French movement in the late 19th and early 20th century. The sentimental
melodies and dramatic emotionalism of the preceding Romantic Period were being replaced in
favor of moods and impressions. The impressionistic movement in music had its foremost
proponents in the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY
He was the primary exponent of the impressionist movement and the focal point for other
impressionist composers.; L Enfant Prodigue (The Prodigal Son)

MAURICE RAVEL
During his stint with the school were he stayed until his early 20s, he had composed a
number of masterpieces.
Ravels works include the following:
Pavane for a Dead Princess (1899), a slow but lyrical requiem
Jeux dEau or Water Fountains (1901)
String Quartet (1903)
Sonatine for Piano (c.1904)
Miroirs (Mirrors), 1905, a work for piano known for its harmonic evolution and imagination,
Gaspard de la Nuit (1908), a set of demonic-inspired pieces based on the poems of
Aloysius Bertrand which is arguably the most difficult piece in the piano repertoire.
ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (18741951)
Schoenberg is credited with the establishment of the twelve-tone system
IGOR STRAVINSKY (18821971)
The Firebird Suite
PRIMITIVISM
Primitivistic 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.
BELA BARTOK (18811945)
Six String Quartets
NEO-CLASSICISM

Neo-classicism was a moderating factor between the emotional excesses of the Romantic
period and the violent impulses of the soul in expressionism.
It was, in essence, a partial return to an earlier style of writing, particularly the tightly-knit
form of the Classical period, while combining tonal harmonies with slight dissonances.
SERGEI PROKOFIEFF (18911953)
the ballet Romeo and Juliet and the opera War and Peace; avant garde
FRANCIS POULENC (18991963)
A member of the group of young French composers known as Les Six.
Avant Garde Music

 Closely associated with electronic music, the avant garde movement dealt with the
parameters or the dimensions of sound in space.
The avant garde style exhibited a new attitude toward musical mobility, whereby the order
of note groups could be varied so that musical continuity could be altered.
