MUSICAL

ELEMENTS
USED IN
STAGES
A composition is a highly
disciplined art that requires
mastery over often very
sophisticated materials and a
creative impulse which origins
and mental processes remain a
mystery.
In the 20th century, there are
elements of music and musical styles
observed, and these are the
elements that tend to be basic but
were enhanced by the composers of
different movements carried out to
the height of their knowledge,
talent, and skills.
Composers and performers have a big
role in defining these musical elements
into their compositions and
performances. From basic elements,
they made them into more complex but
more refining that is good to hear.
These elements are evident in the
following stages of music the movement:
1.POST- ROMANTICISM
- was characterized by
chromatic harmonies,
programmatic
elements, expansive
melodies, and lush
orchestration.
-It was the time when essential
growth in arts and science started

-Post-romanticism refers to the

period that emerged during the
late 19 century and early 20
th th

century
-It marks the exaggeration of the
different elements of music

-Post-romanticism in music refers to

composers who wrote classical
symphonies, operas, and songs in
transitional style that constituted a blend
of late romantic and early modernist
musical languages.
2. ELECTRONIC MUSIC
- stepped in the later part of
the 20th century and was
created wholly or in part
through electronic means or
recording devices such as
tape recorders, synthesizers,
and/ or computers.
3. INDETERMINACY-
also known as Aleatoric
Music is a style that
evolved in the mid20th
century which relied on
randomness and chance.
Indeterminacy is a composing approach
in which some aspects of a musical
work are left open to chance or to the
interpreter's free choice. John Cage, a
pioneer of indeterminacy, defined it as
"the ability of a piece to be performed in
substantially different ways".
4. MINIMALISM
- in music was characterized by the
endless repetition of short melodic
patterns, complex cross-rhythms, and the
tonal/ modal principles. In the late 20th
century, neo-romanticism musical style
was developed that returned the tonal
principles characterized by heightened
emotion.
The musical style known as
minimalism emphasizes
repetition, shifting rhythmic
patterns, and composition
concepts that extend beyond
traditional classical music.
