    MODERN ERA

    BASIC INFORMATION COMPOSERS

    The Modern period of music is Claude Debussy


    from ca. 1900 to now, which Ruth Crawford Seeger
    includes the 20th and 21st Igor Stravinsky
    centuries. There are many small Arnold Schoenberg
    periods in this era, including Amy Beach
    the Impressionist and the
    Expressionist eras. The
    advancements of technology
    allowed for different types of
    FAMOUS PIECES
    music and new ways of
    listening. Debussy's "Clair de Lune"
    Seeger's "String Quartet, 1931"
    Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring"
    Schoenberg's "Pierrot Lunaire"
    Beach's "Sketches" op. 15

    The Impressionist
    movement explores mood
    through timbre (quality of
    the sound) and
    orchestration.
    The Expressionist
    movement allows the
    musician to represent
    personal emotions in a
    piece rather than an
    CHARACTERISTICS actual object.

    1. Atonality:
    a. Similar to dissonance,
    atonal music does not
    sound "pretty" and uses
    unresolved chords and
    lacks tonal centres.
    2. Repetition & Symmetry:
    a. Bigger use of rhythmic
    repetition and symmetry
    as a form.
