Programme music is a type of music that describes an item or a person, tells a story or sets a scene. It's descriptive music.

Programme music is instrumental and doesn't have words. All imagery comes from the music.

Symphonic poems (also called tone poems) are examples of programme music. They're single movement works that tells stories like myths and fairytales.

-Renaissance music is mostly polyphonic

-There was a wide range of emotion in Renaissance music,

-Usually expressed in a moderate, balanced way, with

no extreme contrasts of dynamics, tone colour, or rhythm.

-The music was mild and relaxed due to stable and consonant

chords: triads favoured over dissonances.

# data[].attributes.body
-In Classical music, there is a flexibility of rhythm.

-Classical music is basically homophonic.

-Pieces shift smoothly or suddenly from one texture to another

-Arnold Schoenberg was born in Vienna in 1874

-He was a Professor of Composition in Berlin and later Los Angeles. He was a gifted composer, teacher and painter.

-Schoenberg’s first compositions were Romantic in style eg ‘Transfigured Night’. His style of composition later changed.

-His music became increasingly dissonant and chromatic in the style of Expressionism.

-The sense of key became less and less obvious eventually resulting in atonality.

-Audiences and critics found Schoenberg’s atonal music difficult to understand. There was so much unrest at one concert that the police were called.
