Musicians during that time became more conscious of the
connection between their art and the world or environment they
live in. Linking music to poetry and painting, and eventually
helped composers relate their own work to the moral and political

3 Symphonic Poem
Program music for orchestra, in one movement, with
contrasting sections to develop a poetic idea, suggest a
scene, or create a mood. It differs from the concert overture
by having a much freer structure. The symphonic poem (also
called tone poem) gave composers the flexibility they
needed for a big single-movement form. It is usually a single
extended movement and does not follow the formal
conventions of the multi-movement symphony proper as
compared to the program symphony.
