| | Impressionist music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Like its precursor in the visual arts, musical impressionism was based in France, and the French composers Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are generally considered to be the two "great" impressionists (although Debussy renounced the term, and Ravel composed many other pieces that can't possibly be identified as "Impressionist"). | | | Impressionist composers also made extensive use of whole tone scales to create a dreamy, "hazy" effect in their works, much like the blurred paintings of Renoir and Monet. | | | Technically, the impressionists invented or began using a great number of new compositional techniques: multi-modality, planing (the use of voices moving in parallel motion; Debussy's prelude La cathédrale engloutie provides an example), extended tertian harmonies, and intentionally ambiguous musical forms. |

| | Impressionism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The influence of Impressionist thought spread beyond the art world, leading to Impressionist music and Impressionist literature. | | | Impressionism was a 19th century art movement, that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s. | | | For years art critics rebuked the Salon des Refusés, and in 1874 the impressionists (though not yet known by the name) organized their own exhibition. |

| | Impressionism |
| | The impressionist movement in music was led by the French composer Claude Debussy. | | | The impressionist movement is often considered to mark the beginning of the modern period in art and, to a lesser degree, in music. | | | Movement in painting and music that developed in late 19th-century France in reaction to the formalism and sentimentality that characterized academic art and much 18th- and early-19th-century music. |

| | His artistic progress was stimulated by his friendship with a group of young poets, painters, and musicians who believed in his musical abilitiy long before he became successful. | | | Ravel's music was criticized by audiences and critics at first, but eventually it attained acceptance and made him famous. | | | This parallels the movement in art in which painting began to be hazy instead of the clear, descriptive paintings of the past. |

(Thompson 103) Debussy had created a music which would define the basis of French musical style for years to come. |

| | CHAPTER 15 -- IMPRESSIONISM (1880 -- 1920) AND THE NEW MEDIA |
| | Musically, only two composers represent Impressionism--Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and in Ravel's case, it was more of a casual association. | | | The Impressionistic school of painting included Seurat, Monet, Manet, and Cezanne. | | | Although he really wasn't an Impressionist in the same sense as Debussy, his music shares many of the same characteristics and both composers are usually linked together. |

| | From the investigations of folk music, world music and other non-western artistic traditions came the realisation that western culture was but one way of looking at culture and art, even high art. | | | Serial music is constructed according to the principle, described independently by Hauer and Schönberg in the early 1920s, of 12-note composition. | | | While mechanical musical instruments go back thousands of year, the practicality of linking the art of composition, as opposed to that of performance to mechanical, electromechanical or purely electronic machines has been a mainly 20th century preoccupation. |

| | Be it genuine or contrived, one of the central issues of the "Impressionist" music has always been the one of definition of the relationship between Debussy and Ravel, and of who owes what to whom. | | | His fascination with musical colour was particularly stimulated by Baudelaire's ideas on the correspondence between the arts, and Paul Dukas, composer and Debussy's friend, also affirmed that the most powerful influence on Debussy was that of writers, particularly of Edgar Allan Poe. | | | From the very beginning, his individual approach towards music and life was noted by his teachers and his colleagues. |

| | Debussy himself cared neither for the term as applied to his music nor for the painters of that school (his favorite painter was Botticelli). | | | Recently, we've heard much talk about Debussy's music as non-Impressionist, although of course the term was adapted from painting to describe the type of music Debussy wrote. | | | Just as in the works of Loüys and other Decadents, the classical world is seen as a sexually liberating force. |

| | French Impressionist Painting |
| | French Impressionist painting is currently the most popular of all European bodies of art. | | | Part of the romance of Impressionism comes from the stories of uphill struggles against the Academic painters and critics who dominated 19th-century French art, only to be swept into obscurity by the artists they had scorned. | | | This school of thought has had next to no impact on popular opinion, which still embraces the Impressionists fervently; but it did have an apparent impact on the series we are using for this course: Art of the Western World, hosted by Michael Wood. |

| | During the performance, the scenario for the ballet was projected onto a screen above the orchestra, which enabled the audience, which included many youngsters, to follow the music with sharpened ears. | | | Zander entertainingly summarized the plot of the ballet, with musical illustrations, and then he showed how cross-rhythms and orchestral colors help tell the story. | | | The debonair Cole bounded onstage with a calla lily pinned onto his lapel and began promisingly; he sounded lovely in the quiet opening and later in the French Impressionist water-music episode of the slow movement; he certainly didn't lack vitality in the contrasting sections. |
