treatments.

Health services are usually offered by healthcare providers.

A healthcare provider is a trained professional who provides people with healthcare.

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 20th 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 20’s, he had composed a number of
masterpieces.

Ravel’s works include the following:

Pavane for a Dead Princess (1899), a slow but lyrical requiem

Jeux d’Eau 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 (1874–1951)

Schoenberg is credited with the establishment of the twelve-tone system

IGOR STRAVINSKY (1882–1971)

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 (1881–1945)

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 (1891–1953)

the ballet Romeo and Juliet and the opera War and Peace; avant garde

FRANCIS POULENC (1899–1963)

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.
