MUSIC 10, QUARTER 1, WEEK 1

Learning Competency: Describes distinctive musical elements of given
pieces in 20th century styles.

Subject Matter: 20th Century Musical Styles: Impressionism to

Modern Nationalism
 Impressionism
 Expressionism
 Neo – Classicism
 Avant – Garde
 Modern Nationalism
 Electronic and Chance Music

POINTS TO REMEMBER
The 20th century styles of impressionism and expressionism provided
composers with the opportunity to express their thoughts based on outside
impressions as well as ideas and expressions based on their inner convictions.
Other forms that emanated included neo – classicism, which is a return to
the classical form and structure using modern harmonies and techniques of
composition; avant – garde, which deals with the parameters of sound in space;
and Modern Nationalism, which is a combination of nationalist thematic materials
with the modern techniques of composition.
The modern musical tradition experimented with new sounds in classical
music through such styles as Electronic Music and Chance Music. Through this
experimentation, the novelty of sounds emanating from sources other than the
traditional musical instruments played a major role in the compositions being
created.
