Music Content Knowledge (5113) PraxisII Exam 2024 Rated A+
Impressionist movement - ✔✔music was influenced by the synonymous movement of visual arts
by painters such as Monet, Cézanne, Degas, Manet, and Renoir, in which brushstrokes obscured
any sharp lines to give a general "Impression" of a scene without precise details; melodies
tended to center around a single pitch without much climax, similar to the individual
brushstrokes utilized by Impressionist painters of the time
Impressionist Composers - ✔✔Debussy, Ravel, Bartòk, Messian, Ligeti, Crumb
Claude Debussy - ✔✔impressionist composer who developed a musical equivalent to the
painters of the era, in which sound defied strict harmonic rules and soft instrumental colors
focused on constant movement without distinct sectional borders, giving the audience a similar
effect as in Impressionist art of general experience rather than one that draws attention to specific
details
Schoenberg - ✔✔Arnold Schoenberg (1874 - 1951)
was an Austrian theorist and painter; developed the 12-tone technique of music in which all 12
pitches of the chromatic are treated as equal, rejecting the conventions of traditional tonality;
this system of composition broke away from traditional tonality of the 20th century and
abandoned any hint of a tonal center
12-tone technique - ✔✔all 12 pitches of the chromatic are treated as equal, rejecting the
conventions of traditional tonality; the pitches are ordered into a series that becomes the basic
structure for the composition; the pitches can be in any range or duration, but they must be
introduced in the composition in that order; this system of composition broke away from
traditional tonality of the 20th century and abandoned any hint of a tonal center
, Composers Influenced by the 12-tone technique - ✔✔Babbit, Boulez, Wuorinen,
Webern, Stockhausen, Berg, Nono, Sessions
Neoclassical Movement - ✔✔trend of the twentieth century that emerged as a reaction to the
emotionalism of the late Romantic era and the abandonment of tonality in the early-twentieth
century; composers of the neoclassical movement sought a return to the order, restraint,
clarity, and formal balance of the music of the eighteenth century
Characteristics of Neoclassical Music - ✔✔the music of this movement featured restraint,
lighter texture, objectivity, a transparent melody line, and a call to the music of the past
Composers of the Neoclassical Movement - ✔✔Hindemith, Stravinsky, Strauss, Prokofiev,
de Falla, Copland
Minimalist Movement - ✔✔began as a compositional movement of the 1960s, as a reaction to the
traditional goal-oriented, narrative, and representational music of the previous centuries; as an
extension of experimental music, minimalist music often features compositional techniques that
emphasize the process of music rather than a motion towards a goal; Minimalist composers sought
to create music that uses a minimal amount of notes, minimal instruments, and minimal focal
points, so that the music could become more a wall of sound than a goal-oriented mission
Minimalist Music - ✔✔music that tends to have a consonant harmony, perpetually repeated
patterns or drones, interlocking rhythmic phrases and rhythms, and gradual transformation; the
form tends to be continuous without well-defined separate sections; notes may be added to a
repeating pattern slowly so that the resulting effect of the music becomes somewhat hypnotic
Minimalist Composers - ✔✔Reich, Riley, Glass, Adams, Young
Latin Jazz - ✔✔a style of jazz that originated in the late 1940s when musicians merged the
rhythms and instruments of Afro-Latin music with American jazz music; two prominent
sub-genres of Latin jazz are Afro-Cuban jazz and Afro-Brazilian jazz
