His style was unique and highlighted the Romantic era with complicated harmonies. ]]> 2020-12-04 23:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989541140 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989542468 The romantic period was very much a time of writing pieces in reflection of the composers' heart (emotions) rather than their minds. Post-romanticism takes this way of life and evolves it. It’s what the composer feels times ten because the need for musical structure, here, is decaying more obviously. It really is the artists sound, raw and uninhibited. ]]> 2020-12-04 23:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989542468 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989545102 A proud Austrian-German composer that uses the folktales and cultural influence of his upbringing stand out in his work during a time of Nazi power. ]]> 2020-12-04 23:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989545102 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989545793 During this time there was a blast of all different kinds of musical forms. There were of course operas and symphonies, but there was a rise in ballet performances and poems being adapted to be shown as ballots.  ]]> 2020-12-04 23:59:37 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989545793 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989547829 An Italian, transitional, opera composer, best known for operas written in realism and almost always involving death. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989547829 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989549340 The single greatest representation of Russian Romanticism.

Writers and painters were also expressing their discontent with the Romantic period, but by straying further and further from realism and only presenting their personal idea of an object. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:07:14 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989552879 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989555015 As political and social climate grew, Stravinsky ended up leaving his native country to live in Paris. During his composing career he held strong to his Russian sound and contributed greatly to the ballet scene. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989555015 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989555787 During the 1860’s Anti-Romantic movement, painters were attempting to display a personalized sense of realism by using techniques that weren’t so realistic. There were less definitive brush strokes and aspects of paintings were not clearly one thing (though when viewing the full piece, one could figure out the idea). The soft and delicate brushwork of the Japanese at the time were a big inspiration to the French art community at the time. Their way of portraying mist, haze, smoke, and moisture in their work was something to be admired. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989555787 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989557604 Often compared to Debussy because of how similar their techniques are for music. Both composers created works that were a prime example of Impressionism in music, but there was a difference between the two that is noteworthy. Ravel’s techniques were more precise and gave more emphasis to rhythm. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989557604 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989558275 Debussy was labeled as the first official Impressionist composer but he in fact was totally against the term.  ]]> 2020-12-05 00:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989558275 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989559582 The ‘American impressionist’- his works were influenced by French sounds but not as entirely as other composers. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:14:10 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989559582 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989561697 He grew up surrounded by Austrian-German tradition and being inspired by Wagner, Brahms, and Richard Strauss.

His father had long been teaching him things like how to sing at one tone and play an instrument in another tone, complimentary to his voice. This helped him gain a leg up in polytonality. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989563807 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989565441 The early twentieth century was booming in the industrial industry. Machines and factories were coming to the forefront so many were depending on jobs in the city to support their families. Many made a large move from the peaceful country to busy and unfamiliar cities. Everyone was affected by this economical shift, especially artists and musicians and writers. Although it was nerve wracking, there was also new opportunity, and many began to act on impulse. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989565441 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989566394 Growing up poor, Cowell hadn’t had all the same opportunities as other composers.

Still was mixed but identified more so with the African American culture surrounding him. He played violin, cello, and oboe in theaters and nightclubs. What makes Still such an important figure for jazz is that he was a gifted classical composer and the first African American to have a symphony performed by a major orchestra. He was important in the sense that he contributed to Jazz culture and more so African American culture rather than jazz music specifically. ]]> 2020-12-05 00:53:17 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989595739 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989596422 This was a strong movement in the artistic and literary scene of African Americans during the late 20’s to 30’s.

Titles like A Streetcar Named Desire (Alex North, 1951), The Man with the Golden Arm (Elmer Bernstein, 1955), Elevator to the Gallows (Miles Davis, 1957), and Anatomy of a Murder (Duke Ellington, 1959). ]]> 2020-12-05 00:55:32 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989597488 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989619909 Here I am not so much saying that each form of music and art are complete opposites but saying how they are so different and unique. Primitive for example a simple aesthetic that recreates more primitive settings and or times. It shows the beauty and idealism in a world far away in time where the politics and economy and social climate of the time never existed. It can, in a way, be classified as a product of Romanticism. In the self over all bullet, under Post-romanticism, I explain how artists and authors of the time started to do away with the tonal structure and harmonic rules of those before them. They aren’t so much saying, “Explain how I feel emotionally through this medium” but instead are stretching that independent muscle that says “While what I am dong is unconventional, I trust what I am doing and feel that this is the right path”. I feel like these two bullets are good to put against one another because one is longing for a past that does not exist the way they thought it did and the latter is taking hold of what they have now. ]]> 2020-12-05 01:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989619909 snolin1026 https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989631478 Here we have Schoenberg and Mahler, two composers who grew up with heavy Austrian-German traditions and morals. I did not choose these two composers because one participated during the Twentieth Century era and the other the Post-romantic, although, that difference is important regarding their works. What I would like to take a look at is their background, their upbringing. As stated before, both men grew up proud Austrian-German's, but one did not stay that way. Mahler was proud of his heritage, much like many other composers, but this is especially important [I feel] because he was living during Nazi times. For him to hold true to himself and display it in his work as strongly and earnestly as he did was important and probably represented hope for many Jewish and German citizens. Schoenberg on the other hand went in the complete opposite direction, going as far as to denounce his Jewish faith and practice Catholicism. He despised his upbringing and did not display it in his works after this point in his life. ]]> 2020-12-05 01:37:14 UTC https://padlet.com/snolin1026/flqsn60c4d7rjtye/wish/989631478
