was a widening gulf between art so11gs and popula.r so11gs. Art songs, such as those of Pau ré and Wolf, had precisely notated pia no pa1is, tended to be through-composed rather than strophic, werc meanl to engage listeners on a high artistic plane, and required high professional standards of both pianist and singer. Composers of popu lar songs sought instead to entertai n their a udience. accommodate amateur performers. and sell as many copies of Lhe sheet musicas possib le, so immediate appeal and SLick- in-your-head catchin ess we1·e the most imp orta nt attributes. Topics for popular songs included !ove. hea rlbreak, birth, death, racial and ethnic satire, new inventions like tbe bicycle and te lephone, sentimental thoughts of mother and tbe old fa mily home, aod Amel'ica's favorile pastime, basebaU. Songs were pressed into service for every possible ca use: abolition, the Civil War, temperance (the campaign against drnnkenness), labor orga niz:ing, political campaigns, anel evangelism, as ln gospel songs s uch as Joseph P. Webster's ln Lhe Sweei By-o.nd-By ( 1868). Popular a11 depends upon lhe inlerplay of convention and novelty, and both are evident in the best popula r songs. The standard form remained verse and refrain, wi th a four · or eip;bt-measure introduction for· the piano; an eight-, sixteen- , or thirty-two-measure verse; anda refrain of similar size. Often the refrain was scored in paris for chorus (or four solo singers) . so that c/,Qrns carne to be used as a term for refrain. Both verse and refrain typically bad internai repetitions, falUng into fonns sucb as AABA. ln some songs the verse and refrain sha red material. a nd in others the chorus was whoUy new. occasionally even in a different meter. The key to success was creating a catchy phrase, someümes called the hook. that could grab the listener's attention and theo be repea ted and varied over the course of the song.

Moses. which uses the sto1y of lsrael's de liverance from Egypt as a symbol for tbe liberation of che slaves. The song was puhlished in 1861. duringthe ftrst year of the Civil War, after a missionary heard it sung by refugee slaves. The lirst publications of spiTituals tricd to document the songs as former siaves sang them, though the ed itors admitted that they could not notate the bent pitches and other aspects of performance. But soon dozens of spiri· tuals were ananged as songs with piano accompaniments that anyone could play and in four · part harmony for choirs . The Pisk Jubilee Singers, depicted in Figure 30.9. popularized spirituals in tl1e 1870s through polished performances in concerl tours on both sides of tbe Atlantic. By lhe late 1800s, spirituals were simultaneously folk m usic for lhose who had learned them from oral tradition, popuJar songs for t.hose who bought them in collecrions or as sheet music or heard them in popular venues. and a source of melodie material for dassical composers like Dvofák (see above).
Reception and Recognition By the e nd ofthe nineteenth cent1.11y, what see med in r etrospect like a main· stream of musical development in lhe late eighteenth centu1y had broken into many smaller currents. like a great river forming a delta as it heads toward the sea. The spht between classical and popular music had widened and was becoming irrevocable. but even within lhose two broad traditions lhere were many r.ompeting Mran<ls. Most afilie classicaJ composers we have studiecl fouoel a place in the per· manent repeno ire. NationaJ ilavor helped many gain aniche, from Fauré and Dvoták at Eu rope's center to Tchaikovsky, Grieg, and o1hers on the periphery.
Reception and Recogrntion
Some were admitteel into the canon of classicaJ masters on the strength of relatively few works, as were Franck, Smetana, and Elgar. Tn each case, per· fonners, audiences. and critics tendecl lo favor works that brought a clis· tinetive new personalily into the tradilion, a trend 1ha1 would become even stronger in the twentieth centu1y. Divisions between classical and popular streams existed everywhere in Europe and I he Americas, not only in 1he United Sta1es. Ye 1. the American case is especia lly interesting becai1se the hierarcby of pennanence is the oppo· site of Europe's. ln lhe United States, lhe late-nineteenlh-century compos· ers in the classical tradition won respect anel renown in their lifetimes, but th en faded from view, anel despile recent 1·evivaJs their music is still rela· tively little known. The reasons for this are debated: is it simply a question of unfamiliarity. or lesser quality. or prejudice againsl American compos· ers, or did Paine, Beach, and their contemporaries J'ail to create music wirh an identiliable personality because they were overly dependent on a tradi· tion that was not native and thus inauthentic.-or does that very queslion give too much credence to the expec tation thal aJJ composers outside Cermany should be oationalists? By contras!, some popular traditions produced works that have never ceased being played and enjoyed. These pieces-including Sousa's best· known marches. popular songs such as The Battle Cry o/Free· dorn anel The Band Played On. anel dozens of African American spirituals-have every reason to be ca Ued "classics." Like the works of Hande l, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven that became the fu-s t classics. these works entertained their first audiences but also had an enduring appea1 that brought performers and listeners back repeatedJy, anel their growing familiarity made these pieces even more beloved. Tbe twentieth century in turn saw olher types of popu lar music develop their own repertoires of classics and their own legions of connoisseurs. More than in most other nations, the permanent repenoire of American classics grew from indigenous popular traclitions, rather than as an offshoot of the interna tio na! classical mainstream. ~ Resources fo r study and review avail•ble at wwnorton.com/studyspace.

THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY:VERNACULAR MUSIC The early twentieth centu ry was a time of rapid change in technology, society, and the arts, including mu sic. The invention of devices for recording sound began to change the way music was preserved, distributed, anel solei, making music in sound as permanenl and widely available as music in notation. As a result, the vibrant traditions of ·venwc11lar 11111sic loom larger in the history of twentieth-century music than in any earlier era. African American musicians, soon joined by white collaborators and competitors, developed new currents in ragtime and ja.:::::: that won the world's attention and made popular music more culturally and historically significant than it had ever been. Composers in the classical tradition, forced to compete for space on concert programs with the classics of the past, sougnt to win an audience in the present and se cure a place in the per manent rep ertoire of the future by offering a uniqu e style and perspective that balanced tradition and novel elements. This chapter wiU describe the historical background for the last years of the nineteenth century and the nrst two decades oftne twentieth, and then will focus on developments in vernacular music, especially theAfricanAmerican tradition. The next two chapters will examine the ftrst two generations of modem composers in lhe classical lradilion, born be1ween 1860 and 1885.
The turn of a new cent ury is a convenient and memo1·able marker fo r delineating a new historical period, but life rarely follows the calendar so closely. Hislorians somelimes speak of a "'long nineteenth century" from lhe French Revolulion in 1789, which ended lhe older orde r, 10 rhe sta rt of World War 1 in 1914, which ended fourdecades of rela1ive peace in Eu rope. ln other respects. tl1e new age of grealer global interconnection and accelerating innovalion in science and lechnology chara.cteristic of lhe twenlie th century already seemed to be underway by tbe time of the Paris Universal Exposition (\Vorld's Fair) of 1889. when people gathered from all over the world and the Eiffel Tower. lhe lallest struclure humans had ever built and a lriumph of modem engineering, was opened to the public. Figure 31. l shows this impressive stn1cture as it appearecl in March 1889 at tne opening of t.he Fair. The period between the Paris Exposition and the eod of World War I in 1918 was more self-co nsciously "modem" thao any previous era, so much so that a century later we still think of a11, music, and füerature from this time as modern. Tne pace of teclm ological ao d social change was more rapid than in any previous era. prompting botb an optimistic sense of progress and a nostalgia for a simpler past. One symbol of progress was the electrilication of industry. businesses, and homes. Electric lighting increasingly replaced gas lighting. and eleclrical appliances were produced for the home market. Internai combustion engines fueled by petroleum graduaUy replaced coal- fueled engines in steamships and factories. By streamlining production and distrihulion, Henry Ford made his Model T the nrst widely affordable automohile in 1908.

he advent of recording technology had the mosr significant impact on musi· cal culture of any innovation since the printing press. lt completely revolution· ized the way we experience and share musicas listeners, performers. or composers. When Thomas Edison made the first playable sound recording in his labora· tory in Menlo Park. New Jersey. in 1877. using his tinfoil cylinder phonograph shown in Figure 31.3. he intended his new device as a dictation machine for offices. He had no idea that his invention would catapult some muskians to fame and fortune, deliver their product to huge audiences. and spawn a multibillion·dollar industry. Edison·s phonograph recorded sound by a mechanical process. The sound waves, collected by a horn, moved a diaphragm that transmitted its motions to a needle. The needle cut a groove in the cylinder as the latter rotated. turned by a hand crank. The undulations in the groove correspondedl to the motions of the dia· phragm. To play back the record. the process was reversed: as the crank rotated the cylinder. the shape of the groove made the needle move. which in turn moved the diaphragm. and its vibrations sent the recorded sounds moving through the air. Edison soon replaced his fragile tinfoil cylinders with wax cylinders. which could be mass·produced by a molding process. Adding a motor to the machine made it possible to maintain a steady speed of rotation, necessary for recording music. Members of John Philip Sousa·s band and other artists made recordings that were sold commercially, but quantities were limited because each cylinder had to be recorded separately. ln 1887. Emile Berliner invented a more practical system that recorded on a Aat disc, which could be used as a mold to make any number of duplicates. Record players like the one in Figure 31.4 became available in the 1890s. and ten·inch discs with a capacity for four minutes of music on each side were sold for a dollar each. the equivalent of about twenty dollars todlay. The early discs featured famous artists. such as the great ltal· ian tenor Enrice Caruso (1873-1921). who made his first record· ing in 1902 and whose many records encouraged the medium's acceptance as suitable for opera. Because he became one of the recording industry's earliest superstars. it has been said that "Caruso made the phonograph and it made him." His recordings also preserved his performances beyond the grave. The new technology allowed performers to achieve for the flrst time the kind of immortality previously available only to composers. Mechanical recording was well suited for voices. but the lirnited range of frequencies it could reproduce rnade orchestral l'IGURE 31.3, Thomas Ediso,. ,oith his origi11al music sound tinny.

company had to issue it on eight discs gathered in an "album: which became the standard format for longer works. ln the 1920s, new methods of recording and repro· duction using electricity-including the elewic micro· phone-allowed a great increase in frequency range. dynamic variation. and fidelity. making the medium still more attractive to musicians and music lovers.

BAND MUSIC
Concert repertoire
The tradition of mililary and amaleur wind bands remained strong across Eui·ope and Nortb America. ln the Uni1ed Stales and Canada, bands increasingly found a hom e in co ll eges and schoo ls as well, playing at sporting eve nts and in concerts. Sousa·s band continued lo tour and beca me a pioneer in making pbonograph recordings. Among lhe many otber professional bands was He len May Butler·s Ladies Brass Band, one of severa] al l-female ensembles fonned in response to the exclusion of women from most bands. The twenlieth centmy saw a growing effort among bandleaders lo establish a repertoire of serious works for baod wo11hy of com parison lO the orchestraJ repertoire. Because of the band's long association with the military and with ama lettr performance. there were ve1y few original pieces for band by the major Classic and Roman1ic composers, who were rep resented on band con eer ts mostly by transcriptions. ln the first decades of the century, a new seri ousness of purpose emerged in pieces that soon fonned the core of a developing classical repertoire for band, notahly Suites No. l in 0, (l 909) and 2 in F (l 911) by Englisb composer Gustav Holst (l 874-1934); Dionrsiaques (1914-25) by French composer F'lorent Schmitt (1870-1958); lrish 'lime from County Derry (1917) and Lincolnshire Posy (1937) by Australian composer Percy Grainger (1882-1961); andEnglishFolkSongSttite (1923) and Toccatamarziale (1924) by R.a lph Vaughan Williams (1 872-1958). Holsr, Crainger, anel Vaughan Williams clrew on folk songs for themes , distrib utecl lhe melodie content more evenly between winds and brass. used modal harmonies within a tonal context, and developed a symphouic style of instrumentation.
African American Traditions Afi'icanAmerican bands
Brass bands were one of Lhe main training t,'rounds for African American nmsicians. along with black churches and dance orchestras. Dur:ing the late nine1eemh centu ry and early twentieth centuries. black hands occupied an important place in both black and white social life in many big cities, including New Orleans, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, Richmond, Philadelphia, New York, Detroit, and Chicago. Amongthe bandleaders and composers who att1racted national and international attention were James Reese Eurnpe. Tim Bry mn , William H. Tyers, and Ford Dabney. Their hands performed from notation and clid relatively little improvising, but they played with a swingiug and syncopated scyle that distinguished them from white hands. Europe's band created a sensation in Paris during anel after World War 1, and the French Carde Républicainc lriecl in vaio to imitate il:s sound.
RAG TIME Amongthe <lances playe<I by both hrass an<I concert ban<ls were pieces in ragtime, a style popular from the l 890s through the 191 Os that -featured syncopated (or "ragged") rhythm against a regular, marchlike hass.

Raglime is today known moslly as a style of piano music, bul in the late nineteenth anel early twentieth centuries th e tenn also encompassed ensemble music and songs. Ragtime was originally a manner oí imp rovisingo r perfo rming, "ragging·· pieces notated in even rhythms by introducing syncopations. One vehicle was the cakewalk. a couples dance derived from slave dances anel maTkecl by stnitting and acrobatic move ments. Music fo:r cakewalks was printed wüliout syncopations until 1897, when syncopated Óh"llres characteristic of ragtime hegan to appea.r. Begin.ning that year. instmmental works called rcigs were published, especially for piano, ,rnd cakewalks and rags were soon among tbe besl-selling forms of instrumental music. Classically trained African American composer Will Marion Cook (1869- 1944) introduced the new rhythms into lhe Broadway lradition with C!orindr, or The Origin of the Cake walk (1898), anclhisln Daliomq. proclucecl in NewYork in l 902and London in 1903. brought the cakewalk and ragtime style to Europe. Many popular songs were also wát1en with ragtime rhythms. Bolh black and white composers, song,.vriters, and pe,fonners em braceei the style; ind eed, the Sousa band made some of the úrst ragtime recordings. The leading ragtime composer was Scott Joplin (1867- l 917). shown in Figure 31.8. Sou of a former slave, he studied music in his home town ofTexarkana, Texas, and worked in Sedalia and St. Louis, Missouri, before moving to New York in ] 907. His most ambitious work was the opera Treemonisha. published in 1911 though not Slaged unlil 1972. But he was best known for bis piano rags, which he regarded as artístic works on the leve! of the Eu ropean classics for piano. Indeed. Joplin published a ragtime primer in the form of é tudes, the School of Ragtime O908), for lhe express pw·pose of legitimizing his craft as composition. His nrst best-se ll ing rag, and still h is best knowu, is MapleLea,fRag (1899: NAWM 164a).

EARLY JAZZ
New Orleans
Mannerof pe,formance
The 191 Os a lso saw the early deve lopment aí a not ber type of music from African American roots: jazz . Jazz evolvecl into a cliverse tradition encompassing many styles. genres. and social roles but seems to have begun as a mixture of ragtime aud dance music with elements oi' the blues (clescrilied in chapter 34). New Orleans has long been considerecl the "crad.Je of jazz." altbough recent research has uncovered early jazz in other regions as well. The cultural and social environment oi' New Or lea ns nur11.1red tbe development of e arly jazz. The Freuch and Spanish background of the city gave it a 11avor clifferent from other cities in the United States. Before Emancipation. New Orieans was the only place in the South where slaves were aJlowed to galher in public. As a result. music in New Orleans rntained some African traditions that were lost elsewhere. Moreovcr. the city had closc conncctions to lhe Caribbean, and rhythms from Hailian, Cuban, and Creole music also influenced early jazz. The dance bancls of New Orl eans interwove tbese strands with European styles. gradually producing a new kind of music. Typically, these hands were small ensemhles wi th two or th1·ee melody instruments. such as trumpet. clarinet. and trombone; a bass instrument sucb as a tuba; and snare and bass drums. The new stylehad no nameat lirst, or was simply known as the New Orleans style of ragtim.e. But when bands l'rom New Orleans began playing in Chicago, New York, and elsewhere, they use<l the term "jazz." Bands who popularized the term included a black group that toured in 1913- 18 as the New Orleans Jaz·i Band, anda white band thaL in 1917 performed .in New York and made recorclings as the Original Oixieland Jazz Band. Jazz differed from ragtime particula1·lyin tbe way itwas performed. Instead oi' playing tbe mus ic "straigbt," obse1ving the rhythms and textures of a fulJy notated picce. players extemporizecl arrangements that clislinguisbed one performer or performance from another. Listening to early jazz pianist and composer and New Orleans nativeJe lly Roll Morton (1890- 194 l) play Joplin's MapleLeaf Rag ina recording from 1938 (NA\VM 164b) . we recognize lhat this is umn istakably jazz anel not ragtime hecause of the anticipations of heats: the swinging, uneven rendering of successions of equal note vaJues so that notes on the beat are longer than those on the oftbeats; the many added grace notes; the enriched harmony; and the weaving of ragtime's brief moth'ÍC un its into a more continuous line.
Classics oí Vernacular Music
Despi te (anel at times because oi) the wicle appeaJ of ragtime anel jazz. they were regardeel with suspicion a.nd condescension by many practitioners of classicaJ music. ln the Unitcd States, the reception of ragtime and jazz was entanglecl with lhe racial politics of the periocl, when the freedoms African Americans had won after the Ci,,;J War, like the right to vote, were beingtaken away ali across the South t.h.rougb new state constitutions and Jim Crow laws. and rac ial cl isc rimina1ion in ali parts or 1he country restricted economic opporrunity and forceel African Americans into segregatecl neighborhoods and schools. The long traclition of blackface minstrelsy, anel oí black musi cians petforming for white aud iences. meant that ragtime anel jazz could be welcomed as popular e111ertainmen L, but few whiles would have agreed with Joplin that his rags were on a par with the waJtzes anel mazurkas of Chopin. Yet there were aJso classical composers who adrnired lhe new slyles and incorporated elemems oJ' ragtime or jazz in theirown music, including Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Stravinsky, lves, and Mi lhaud (see chapters 32, 33, and 35). for many in Europe. ragtime and jazz represented the raw energy and newness oJ' tbe United States. A:; we will see in !ater chapters, after Wodd War I jazz became an emblem of modemity on both sicles of the Atla:ntic, and by midcentury it was bewnninp;to he accepted as an ai1 music traclition in its own right.
Classics of Vernacular Music Vernacular music of the early twemieth cemury was created for immecliate consumpti on as entertainment, and most of it is long forgotten, yet many of tbe pieces discussed here became classics in their own traditions. Few o per· ettas anel virtually no musicals of the time were performed for more than a J'ew seasons, and modem productions are rare. Nonetheless, overtures, waltzes. and songs from operettas and musicals have continued to be performed. from Lehár's 77ie Merry Widow Walt.z to Coban's Cive My Regards to Broadway, anel so have some of the era's popular songs. Music for silent films was always an art for the moment, not for the ages, hut from the 1960s on. the tradition of improvised accompaniment on organ or piano was revived along with silent movies themselves, and in recent decades a few of the full scores have been performed again with theirftlms. The band works ofHo lst. Vaughan Williams, and Grainger have remained classics of the concert band repertoire. Ragtime fell out oi' fashion in Lhe 1920s, was revived after \Vorld War II, anel regained wide popularity in tbe l 970s aíter the rags of Scott Joplin anel otbers were brought back to life in print and recordings. Jazz became increasingly popular after World War l and grew imo a diverse current wiclely recognized as one of lhe twenlieth century's most important con.lributions lo musical culture. AlJ of these musical traditions now have a permanent place in musica l life and receive increasing attention from historians, as reflected in this book, whose first foLtr editions ignored them completely. ~ Resources fo r study and review available at wwnorton.com/studyspace.

THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY: THE CLASSICAL TRADITION The rise of a permanent ela ssical repertoire in the nineteenth century created an increasingly difncult challenge for composers at the end of that century and the beginning of the twentieth. Concert programs, opera stages, and other venues for their music were dom inated by older wo rks rega rded as classics worthy of repeated performance and rehearings, leaving less room for new music than ever before. MoclemisL composers in the classiical tradition ali sought to solve the sarne conundrum-how to secure a place in a crowded repertoire- by writing works that ol'fered something new and that musicians, audiences, and critics would deem worthy of pe1formance alongside the classics of the past. To succeed, their music had to meet the cri teria established by those classics: to be works of high quality that participated in the tradition of serious a11 music: that had lasting value, rewarding both performers and listeners through many rehearings and close study; and that proclaimed a distinctive musical personality. This is the central paradox of musical modernfam, that it combines a deep respect for the classics with a search for tbe new, with the ultimate goal of creating fresh works that will themselves become classics. Faced with common problems, modernist composers created highly in dividua l solutions, d iffe ring in what they valued most in the tradition, what they extended, what they discarded, anel what inno vations they introduced. As a result, music in the classical tradition became increasingly diverse in style and approach, a process that

A few composers of this generation were not. mod emist but <w<mt-gllrde, seeJ..;ng to over1hrow artislic lraditions inheriled from the past and start fresh. The next chap Ler will focus on six younger modernists, bom between the mid- 1870s and mid- 1880s. wbo were among the mosl famous anel inlluential composers of the twentieth centu1y.
Modem Music in the Classical Tradition By the h1rn of the twentieth century, an established repertoire of musical classics dominated almost eve1y neld of concert music. from piano. song. or chamber music recitais to operas and orchestral concerts. The change from a century before was enormous. ln the eighteenth centu ry, performers and listeners demanded new music ali the time. and ..ancient music.. included anything written more than twenty years earlier. But musicians and audiences in 1he early l 900s ex1iected that most concert music they performed or heard would be at least a ge neration old. and they judged new music by the standards of the classics already enshrined i n the repertoire. ln essence, concert halls and opera ho uses had become museums for displaying Lhe musical artworks of the past two hun dred years. The repertoire varied according to the performing medium and from region to region. but the core was largely the same throughout most of Europe and the Ame ricas, including operas and operatic excerpts from Mozart through Wagner, Verdi. and Bizet: orchestral and chamber music from Haydn through the late Romantics: and keyboard music by J. S. Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and prominent nineteentb century composers. Living composers increasingly found themselves in competition with the music of the past. This became the great theme of modemism in the classical tradition, especially in Lhe .ti.rst half of the century: in competing wilh past composers for the attentio n of performers and liste ners who loved the clas sical masterworks. living composers sought to secure a place for themselves by offering something new anel distinctive while continuing the tradition. There were many possible solutions: extencling aspects of past practice to new extremes. reinterpreting fami liar elements in new ways, combining traits d rawn from differe nt traditions or from d iffferent past eras, or changing tl1e balance among musical parameters, to name some of Lhe most co=on. Each of these strategies gave listeners somethingfamiliar to hangonto whi le offering new or more intense e"lleriences. \Vriters on music have used the word modemisrn with more lhan one mr.an ing.

Even today. every music studenl learns the mies of tonal music, and it remains the common language against which others are judged. Yet other composers, including Claude Debussy, Alexander Scriabin, Manuel de Falia, and Leos Janácek, moved beyond tonal practice in the early l 900s. as each developed a personal musical language that followed its own mies. Even when a pitch center can be identili.ed, il no longer makes sense to describe the musicas tonal, because the mus ic diverges too far from common practice of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The most general term for such music is pos t-Lo n(ll , which embraces all t.he new ways composers found to organize pilch. from a tonality to neotonality (see chapter 33). The new possib ilities oi' post-tonal irlioms were part oi' the marvelous rl ivers ity of twentieth-centu1y music i.n the classical tradition. but so were the individual approaches to tonality.

GUSTAV MAHLER Gustav Mahler (1860- 1911) was the leading Auslro - German composer of symphoni es after Brahms and Brnckn er and one of the greaL masters oi' the songfor voice anel orchestra. Born to Jewis h parents in Bohem ia , Mah ler wen t to Vienna in his leens to study piano and composition at lhe Conservatmy and Jater attended cli1sses at the University ol'Vienna. The re be formed friend ships with fellow studenL Hugo Wo l r anel wilh Bruckner, who was leaching at the university. He beca me an aviel Wagnerian, although he also respecteel anel was in11uenced by Brahms. Beginning at the age oJ' twenty. his p rimary career was as a professional opera and orchestral cond ucto1· (see ln Performance: Ma hler as Con ductor) . Composing mainly in lhe summers between busy seasons of conducl ing, Mahler completed nine symphonies, leaving a tenth unl'rnished, and J'ive m ultimovement works for voice with orchestra (for which he also p repared vers ions with piano). He reviseel most of his works r epeateelly, inclueling the iirst seven symphonies. reto uching the or chestration but not changing

Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms. and Bruckne r. anel he was a prime iníluence on Schoenberg. Berg, Webern, and o ther modem Viennese composers.

MAHL ER AS COND U CTO R Although we know Mahler today as a cornposer, he rnade his living as a conductor. After conduct· ing at nurnerous opera lhouses throughout cen· trai Europe, including Prc1gue, Leipzig. Budapest, and Hamburg, he was appointed director of the Vienna O pera in 1897. converting to Catholicisrn in order to be eligible fo r the post. ln 1898-1901, he was also coneluctor of the Vienna Philharrnonic. ln these positions, he gained international renown. Beginning in 1907 he spent most of each year in New York, serving as a conductor of German opera at the Metropolitan O pera from 1907 to 19 10. and from 1909 to 19 11 as director of the New York Philharrnonic, which was reorganized as a full-time professional ensemble especially for him, Mahler conducteel a wide range of repertoire, but especially focused on the operas of Mozart and Wagner anel on nineteenth-century German o rchestral music from Beethoven to Strauss. lt had become standard practice to omit scenes and sections from many operas , but Mahler restored these cuts, believing that it was the performers
he had exerted himself with impas-sioned movements. Towards the end his conducting represented the image of an almost eerie calm
duty to respect the in tegrity of the artwork and its composer. But he was 1not a purist: Mahler sometimes rescoreel music he performed, such as adding instruments to Beethoven's symphonies to achieve more striking climaxes. As a conductor. Mahler was renowned for his dynamism , precision , expressivity, and tyrannical perfectionism-traits that are depicted in Figure 32.l. drawn by Austrian illustrator and caricaturist Han Schliessmann anel publisheel in March 1901 in a satirical Munich paper, the Fliegende 8/acter. The face. eyeglasses, haircut, stature. and motions are ali those of Mahler, whose dynamic gestures and expressive style made him a favorite with the public anel have influenceel many !ater conductors. ln lateryears. Mahler streamlined his approach. as recalled by his disciple, the great coneluctor Bruno Walter, in his biography of Mahler: Gradually his stance and gestures beca me quieter: his conducting technique became so intellectualized that he achieved musk;anly freedom com· bined with unfailing precisíon quite effortlessly by a simple-looking beat. while keeping almost still.

With his performers Mahler was dic:tatorial, demanding that they subordinate their vision of the music to his own. At the opera , he insisted on hiring singers who could also act and on stage-direction that highlighted the drama of the work. ln one orchestral rehearsal. unsatisfied with the players' performance of the opening of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, he had them repeat it so many times that some became angry anel refused to continue. His response: ·Gentlemen, save your Fury for the performance; then at least we shall have the opening played as it should be:· Such exacting standards won his players' respect, delighted his audi ences. and became a moelel for many twentieth-century conductors, ínclueling his successor at the Metropolitan Opera, Arturo Toscanini.

statement. He once observed that to write a sympho ny was to "construct a woTld," and his symphon ies often convey a sense of life experience, as i f telJj ng a story or depicting a scene. To create the impression of events occurring in a va riegated world, he used musical styles as topics, j usl as Moiart had done (see chapter23) . F'or examp le, in the s low introduction to Mah ler's First Symphony, the strings softly suslain lhe note Ain seven oclaves, producing an el'fect of vast space, lilled in aLlimes by ideas in 01her ins1ruments-a melocly in 1.he winds. cla1-inets with hun ting horn ca lls, a trumpet fanfa1·e, a c uckoo call, a Romanti c horn lheme in parallel tlúrds-like the sounds of hwnans and nature heard across a great landscape. ln this anel other works, he often drew on the styles and rhythms of Austrian folk songs anel dances, using them ai times Lo suggesl hfa urban audience's nostalbtia for rural scenes and simpler times. Another source of variety is Mahler's instrnmenlalion. His works typically require a large number of performers. The Second Symphony calls for about sixty strings, seventeen woodwinds, twenty-three brasses, six ti mpani an d othier percussion. four harps. organ. soprano and alto soloists, and a large chorus; the Eightb demands an even larger array of players and singers, earnin~ its nickname "Symphony of a Tbousa nd ." But tbe size of tbe orchestra tells only pari oí the s to ry. Mahler showed great imagination in comhining instrumcnts. achieving effects ranging from the most delicate to tbe gigantic. Often only a few instruments are playing while he c reates many different chamber-orchestra groupings from his vast palette of soimds. Mahler was one of the fi rst composers to envision musicas an art nol just of notes but of sound itself, an approach thal became more common over the course of Lhe twentieth century. ln accord wilh Mahler's interest in presenting a world, hls symphonies often imply a program. Fo r the first four symphonies. he wrote detailed programs in the manner o r Berlioz and Lisz1 bm later s uppressed them. No such clues exist for the Fifth. Sixth, and Seventh Sympbonies (composed between 1901 and 1905). yet the presence of pictorial dctails and materiaJ bonowed from his own songs, comhined with the overall plan of each woTk, suggested tha t the composer had extramusical ideas in mind like those ascribed to Beethoven's Thlrd and Fifth Symphonies. Thus Mahler's Fifth moves from a funereal opening march to triumph in the scherzo a nda joyous !inale. The Sixth is his "tragic" symphony, culminating in a colossal !inale in wruch heroic s truggle seems to end in defeat and death. The Ninth , Mahler's last completed symphony (1909). conjures upa mood of resignation mixed with bHtcr sati,·e, a strange and sad fareweli to life. The Fourth Symp hony. one of Mahler·s most popu lar, illustra tes severa! of his compositional techniques. Each movement strongly differs from the others, exaggerating the contrasts in a traditional four- movement symphony, as if to suggest the worlcl's variety. Th e work begins in one key (C major) and ends in another (E major). implying that life's adventures do not always bring us back home. The .úrst movement recalls the latc-eighteenth-century symphony. through references to Haydn and Mozart's styles and by using sonata-fonu conventions. and contrasts it with Romantic styles. The exposition has clearly articu lated themes, shown in Example 32.1: a principal theme in the tonic G major. a lyri.cal sccond lheme on lhe dominant. and a playfol closing theme. ln lhe

There are s urprises and deceplions that recall Classic-era wit: unexpected sforzandos. dynam ic changes, and harmoni c twists; portions of the theme used to accompany or interrupt other portions; and ngures expanded to the point of pomposity (li.ke the dotted figure in measiu-e 6 as extended in mea su res 8-9). played upside clown (that same figure in measure 12, in con LTal)' motion wi.th itself in the cellos). or varied in other surprising ways.

embracing ali the possibilities it includes rather than trying 10 resolve all the potential conflicts, in a musical metaphor for the compromises requfred of us by the complexities and contradictions of modern life. This movement's interweaving of Romanti c fantasy and modern style witb references to a classic.al past is typical of the way modemist music combines elements of the past and present into something entirely new and individual. and it has a dose coonterpart in the paintings of Mahler·s fe ll ow Viennese. Custav Klimt. whose painting entitled Music appears in Figure 32.2. Irony also haunts the Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Chlldren, 190 1-4). an orchestral song cycle on poems of Friedricb Rückert. The nrst song. Nun wiU di-e Sonn· so hell aufgeh'ri ( NAWM 1<,5) . achieves the ira nsparency of chamber music through its spare use of instruments. Mahler's characterislic post-Wagnerian harmony inlensiúes the emotion through stark contrasts of dissonance with consonance and of chromaticism with diatonicism. Thin textures and simple melodies and rhythms produce a11 effect of und erstated restraint. ironic for a song ahout the death of one's child. The irony is height ened at times hy an emotional mismatr.h het:ween text and musir.: the opening line, "Now will lhe sun so brightly rise again." is sung to a woeful, descending, D- minar melody, while the next phrase rises chromatically to a sunny D major on the words "as if no misfortune OCCLLrred during the night."
German Modernism; Mahler and Strauss
Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth, 1908) rivals the Ninth Symphony as the high point of Mahler's late wo~ks. Mahler called it "a symphony for a tenor voice and an alto or baritone voice and orchestra." and its six movements ahernate between the lWO soloists. The texts, poems trans lated from the Chinese, alterna te between frenzied grasping at the dream like whirl of life and saci resignation al having to pai-l from ali its joys and beauties. Justas Mah ler called on the human voice i n his symphonies to complete his musical thought with words, here he calls on the orchestra to sustain and supplement the singers, both in accompanimenl and in exlensive connecting interludes. Tbe exotic atmosphere of tbe words is lightly suggestecl by instru me.otal color and the use of lhe pentatonic scale. ln no other work d icl Mahler so perfectJy defme and balance two extreme.s ofhis personality, ecstatic pleasure and deadly foreboding. Although Mahler·s early works were products of the late nineteenth cenru,y, he had his greatest success in the li rst decade ofthe twentieth, his last decade of life. This was also the time of his mosl radical crea tions. such as the vasl two - movement Eighth Symphony ("Symphony of a Thousand") and the six-movemem symphony with voices, Das Lied von der Erde. These works stretch the very meaning of the word "symphony," taking elements of the symphonic tradition to new extremes and thcrehy inspiring us to rethink the whole traclition. So do bis other symphonies anel orchestral song cycles, each in its own way renovating the tradition in modernist garb. He was an inspiration to and mentor for many in lhe younger generation. including Arnold Schoenherg and his circle (see chapter 33).

Mahler's impact
RICHARD STRAUSS OPERAS \Vhile Mahler focused on lhe symphony and orchestral song cycle, Richard Strauss fol lowed a different course. Having established himself in the 1880s and 1890s as the leading composer of symphonic poems after Liszt (see chap· ter 29), Strauss tmned to opera, seeking to foherit \Vagner's mantle. After an early fai lure with Gu11trc11n in 1893 and moderate success with Feuersnot (The Fire Famine) in 1901. he scoreda triumph in 1905 withSa!-Ome. and from then on lhe powers of depiction and characterization that he had boned in his tone poems went primariJy into opera. 1-lis main models were Wagner and Mozart, composers from the Austro-German traclition whose operas he enjoyed conducting most of ali and who- despite the grea t differences between them- were both adept at using conirasting styles to capture iheir characters' persouali ties, articulate theiremotions. and convey the dramatic situation. Like Wagner, Strauss heightened both musical coherence and dramatic power through tlie use ofleilmotives and the association of certain keys with particular characters. Salome is a setting of a one-act play by Oscar Wilde in Cennan transla tion. Strauss adapted the libretto himself. as illustrated in Figure 32.3. ln this decadent version of the biblical stOI)', tbe teenaged Salame performs her famous Dance of the Seven Veils and entices her stepfather Herod to deli ver the head of John tbe Baptist on a siJver platte r so tbat she can kiss his cold Jips. The subject. actions. and emotions were stranger than auy attempted in opera before, and lhey stimulated Su·auss to create harmonically complex and dis· sonant musi c that great ly influenced later co mposers.

ln the conclusion of the opera (NAWM 166) , Salame speaks to John's beael, musing that his lips taste bitter anel wonclering if they taste of bloocl or of !ove, which she bas heard basa bitter taste. She concludes that it does not matter. because she has nnally k:isseel his lips. The strange anel shocking situation- comhining tbe familiar scene of a yo1mg woman mtll'muring to her lover with the gruesome rea lity of the lifeless heacl anel her heartless act- is perfectly matcheel by Strauss's music. whicb achieves a higb levei of dissonance anel drama tbrough remarkably simple means. The beginning of the passage features a diminished seventh chord. usecl to create tension as far back as Scarlatti in tbe late seventeenth century (see chapter 17), overlaid with elements that are related but augment the dissonance: me lodie anel barmonic minar triacls derived from lhe minar lhi1·ds in the diminishecl se,•enth chord itself; a chromatic trili embellishing one note of the chorei: and Sa]ome's recitative - like declamation that hovers around notes from the cbo1·d . Remarkably. this overwheLningly dissonant passage. ,vhicb seems to verge on atona lity or po lytona lity (see chapter 33). 1·e,,olves through a fami liar tonal progression (i-IV- It-V 7-I) in a blissful q major, tbe key associated with Salame throughout the opera. The move from stomach-churning clissonance lo untroubl ed consonance anel from tonal amhiguity to a clear
tonal ca<lence-and then backagain to <lissonance and amhiguity-captures in music the catharsis of erotic ecstasy Salome experiences, framed by our horror ai what sbe bas clone. Such flercely dissonant music as heanl at lhe beginning of this excerpl inspfred some later composers to abandon tonality altogether. But the resolution to C# anel many other passages in ihis opera sound as sweetly dia tonic, consonant. and clearly key-centered as this excerpt's oper:üng passage is chromat ic, clissonant, and ambiguous. The intense efl'ect Strauss achi eves here is predicated on our expectations that lhe dissonances will resolve. for bis purposes or musical dramatizalion Straltss necded the polarilies inherent in tonal music between dissonance anel consonance, cbromalieism and dia tonicism , instability anel stability, tension anel resolution, ali basic opposilions thal composers since the sixteenth century had used to create drama anel expression. ln this he was the direct heir ofWagner, who relied on the same polarities to convey intense longing in 1'ristan und /solde. With Elektra (1906-8). Strauss began a long and fruitful collaboration witb the Viennese playwright Hugo von Hofmannsthal (1874-1929) that would result in seven operas. Adapted from a play b y Sopbocles, Elektra clwells on lhe emotions of i11sane hatred and revenge. Accordingly, Strauss intensifted the chromaticism. dissonance, and tonal instabfüty at times even bcyonc!Sa!ome. offset at otber limes by serene, diawnic, and tonally stable passages. Der Rosenkavalier (The Cavalier of tbe Rose, 1909-1O) ta kes us into a sim nier world of elegant, stylized eroticism and tender feeling in the aristocratic. powdered- wig milieu of eighteenth-century Vienna. Here deceptively simpie diatonic music dominates, wbile chromaticism, novel harmonic twists, unpre<lictably curving melodies, anel magicai orcbestral colors suggest sensuality anel enchantment. Thc wbo le score. witb its mingling of sentiment and comedy, ovedlows with the ligb tbearted rhythms anel melodies ofViennese waltzes-a witty anachronism, since the waltz craze began in the early n in eteenth century. well after the events in the opera. The anachronisms of Der Rosenkavalier are multiplied in Strauss's nexL opera. AriadneaufNaxos (191 1- 12. revised 1916), whicb combines characters from Greek trage<ly wirb cbaracters from the eigbteenth-cenrury improvised comi e commedia dell'arte anel Mozartean music with Strauss's most Romantic effusions, using tbe conceit that the ricbest man in late - eigbteentb- centtuy Vienna has or<lered upa tragic opera anel a light comedyfor his banquet and at tbe last moment. to save time for his guests, orders them botb to be performed simultaneously. This self- aware play witb past traditions, freely mixing ele ments from different eras to create something entirely new, is as typica l of modernism as Salome's sensuousness or Elektra's howls ofbatred. Strauss's !ater operas also exhibit bis cun ning use of musical styles anel bis intensiJication ol' the polarities inJ1erent in tonality to clepict cbaracters and convey the drama . Ultimately, Strauss's art is rhetorical. seeking to engage the au<lience's emotions directly, as a ftlm composer might do, and he needed just as wi<le a range of style and effect. After four <lecades of op eras. Strauss turne<l in bis final works to otber genres better suited for expressing his own feelings rather than those of his characters.

French Modernism: Debussy and Ravel
Drawingon
the past
While German moelemists stroveto join the ranksofBacb, Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner, French modernists contenelecl with a more conflictcd past. Toe Ge1·man class ics from Bach to Mende lssohn were well established in the repertoire in France. and Wagner was a dominant figure. But after France's defeat by German forces inche Franco-Prnssian War of 1870- 71, French musicians sotJght greater inelependence from German m1)sic, seeking a distinctive path of their own while beginning to revive French music of the sixteenth through e igbtee ntb centuries as a counterbalance to tbe German composers who were at the core of the classical repertoire. By the tum of the century, younger French composers had to contencl not only with the German past. but with the French pastas well, stretching from the Re naissance through the major úgures of the late nineteenth century such as Saint-Sal!ns, Massenel. Fauré. and cl'lndy, ali ofwhom were srill ali ve (see chapters 28 and 30). Drawing e lements from their national heritage helped French moelern ists to distinguisb their music from that of their Ger·man contemporaries. and especia lly to escape the overwhe lming inllnence ofWagner. The Prench traclition or the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (which the French calJeel "classic" ratber tban "Baroque") was markecl by emotiona1 reserve and unclerstatement rather than effusion; as we have seen i n the drarnatic recita -

Central to the Prench tradition was dance music, from Lu lly's operas and Couperin's suites lo Chopin's waltzes. Taste anel restraint we1·e va lued , as were e lernents of music that added beauty and gave pleasu re, from appropriate decoration of melodies to variety of instrumenta l color. Reaclúng even further back. the music of Gregorian chant-tbe proeluct of collaboration between frencb kings and Roman popes in tbe eigbth anel ninth centuries (see cbapter2)-and ofFrench Renalssance composers offereel rnoclels ofhow to com pose using modes rather than the g:oal-clirected harmonfo progressions of tonal music. All of these traits were useful lo composers seeking a personal style distinct from their immediate predecessors yet informed by French tradition. The two most signiftcant F'rench composers of the early twentielh cenhuy, Debussy anel Ravel. found veiy differenl solutions.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY Wbile Mahler and Strauss extencled Wagnerian harmony to new leveis of rhetorical intensiry, l heir Freoch contempora1y Claude Debussy (J 862-19 18; see biography and F'igure 32.4) took it in a different direction: toward p leasure anel beauty. His achniration for \Vagner's works. especially Tristan anel Parsi fa!. was coupled with revulsion againsl Wagner's bombast anel bis atlempls to expound ph il osophy in music. Debussy d r·ew from the Prench tradition a preference for sensibility, taste, and restraint. adrniring particularly his oleler contemporary Emmanuel Chabrier (1841- 1894). He found new ideas in Russiao composers, especially Rimsky-Korsakov and Musorgsky; in medieval music, notably parallel organum; and in music from Asia, including Javanese gamelan music and Chinese and Japanese m elody. Blending these and other iniluences, he produced works of striking individuaJily that hacl a profound impact on almost all later composers. Debussy's music is often callecl imp ressio11is1,, by analogy to the impressionist painters, but it is closer to symbolism, a connection reinforced by his frienelships with symbolisl poets anel bis use of lhefr texls for songs and elramatic works. One trait shared with both trends is a sense of detached observation: rather than expressing deeply felt emotion or telling a story. as in much Romantic music, Debussy's typicalJy evokes a mooel, feeling, atmosphere, or scene. As in symbolist poetly, tbe normal syntax is often elisrupted, so that the chord progressions of common-practice harmony are avoicled or attenuateel. Our attention is elrawn insteael to indivieluaJ musical ieleas or images tbat cany thc work's strncture anel meaning. Debussy crcates these musica l images through motives, harmony. exotic scales (such as the whole-tone, octatonic, an el pentatonic scales), instrumental timbre, anel other elements, thencomposesby juxtaposing them. Motives neeel no l develop. but may repeal with small changes. like an ohject viewerl from different perspec.tives: rlisso nances need not resolve; sonoriries may move in parallel motion: contrasts of scale type unelerlie the articulalion of phrases anel sections; and instru.mentaJ timbres are intrinsic to the musical content rather than simple coloration.

CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862-1918)
Debussy exercised an enormous inRuence on his contemporaries and !ater generations, creating music of new sounds and delicate colors, Debussy was born in a suburb oF Paris to a middle-class family. He began studying at the Paris Conserva toire at age ten, first piano and then composition. ln the early 1880s he worked For Tchaikovsky's patron Nadezhda von Meck and twice traveled to Russia, where he encountered the recent works of Rimsky-Korsakov and others that deeply inAuenced his style and orchestration. He won the coveted Prix de Rome in 1884 and spent two years in ltaly. Returning to Paris in 1887, he became friends with severa! symbolist poets and other artists. He made the pilgrimage to Bayreuth to hear Wagner's operas in 1888 and 1889, but carne away recognizing both the power oF the music and his own need to avoid being overly infl uenced by it. ln the 1890s, Debussy lived with hi s lover Gabrielle Dupont in Mon tmartre, the "Bohemian" neíghborhood that had become a center For the new artistic movements. He found his own voice in composing a series of songs. his early piano music. the P1elude to "The Afternoon of a Faun: and especially his opera Pelléas et Mélisande. whose 1902 p remiere made h,m a star overnight. He made a living as a music critic and through an incarne from his publisher. ln 1898, Debussy lef t Dupont For lilly Texier, whom he married the next year. But in 1904 he fell in love with Emma Bardac, with whom he had a child in 1905 and whom he married in 1908 after they had both divorced their spouses. By then he was well established as France's leading modem composer, producing orchestral works like La mer

This changed atütude toward harmony, inviling us to take pleasure in each event ratherthan yearn for resolution. gives his music a feeling of detached observation. 0f course pleasure can lead to exuberance or even ecstasy, as it does in the climactic conclusion of this piece, so it should not be imagined that Debussy's mus ic is without feeling. Many or Debussy's other piano pieces also have evoca tive titles, often suggesting a visual image, like Estampes (Engravings or Prints, 1903) and the two sets of lmages (1901 - 5 and 1907). Severa! of his works evoke distinc tive styles of music. Pagodes (Pagodas), the nrst piece in Estampes, conveys its Asian atmosphere by im itating the pentaton ic melodies, low gongs, and multilayered textures of a Javanese gamelan. an orches tra comprising mostly gongs anrl percussion. which Debussy had heard at the 1889 Paris Universal Exposition.

The t.wenty-fo ur Preludes (two books, ] 909-1O and 191 1- 13) are cba racter pieces whose picturesque titles are placecl at the end rather than the beginning of each piece to allow listeners or performers to forro lheir own associations. 0ther works are relatively abstract, aJthough unmista.kably in Debussy's style: Suite bergamasqu.e (ca. 1890) and Pow le piano (1894-1901) update the French tradition of the keyboard suite, and the late Études (1915) explore pianistic timbre as well as technique in lhe tradition of Chopin. Debussy's orchestral music shows the same characteristics as his piano works, with the adcled element of instrumental timbre. 0hen a pa rticular instrument is associated with a certain mo tive. and different musical layers are separated through tone color. His works require a large orchestra. whlch is seldom used to make a loud sound but iustead offers a p;reat variety of tone colors and texnues. Even more than Mahler, Debussy treated musicas an art of sound anel reveled in the wicle range of s01rncls available in the orchestra. Debussy based his celebrated Prélude à "L'apres-midi d'un }a.une" (Prelude to "The Afternoo n of a Paun ," 1891-94) on a symbolist poem by Stéphane Mallarmé. and he treats the subject the sarne way that French symbolisl poets did: by evoking a mood through suggestion. connotation, and indirection rather thau through intense emotioual expression. Debussy's orchestral technique is well represented by the three Nocturn.es (1897-99), with subdued, imaf,'ÍSI instrumentation inNuages (Clouds). the brillianceof the fttll ensemble in Fêtes (Festivals), aod the blending of orchestra with wordless l'emale chorus in Sirenes (the Sirens of Greek mythology). La mer (The Sea, 1903-5), subtitled ·'three symphonic sketches." captures the movements of the sea th.rough rapidly alternating musica.) images. Nu.ages (NA\X M 16:') from Nocturn.es exemplilies the interaction of timbre with motive. scale type. and other elements to create a musical image. The p iece begins with an oscillating pattern of fifths and t-hirds, adapted from a Musorgsky soug, that conveys an impression of movement but no harmonic clirection. an apt analogy for slowly moving clouds. Each time the pattern appears. il features different tone colors or pitches. or both. sometimes changing into a series of parallel triads or seventh or ninth chords. Near the en d the pattern practically disappears. giving the impression of dispersing clouds. Juxtaposed with this flgure's inconstancy is one that changes little: an English-horn motive that quickly rises and slowly falls through a segment of the octatoni c scale. The English horn somet imes omits or repeats some of its final t10tes. but the motive is never developed. transposed. or given to a11other instrument, and the English boro never plays anything else; there is complete iclcniilicalion betwcen timbre and motive. Thc motive is usually answered by borns playing a tritone or other ngures from the same octatonic scale or a whole- toue scale. lt is not clear what, if .auything, these musical gestures represent; they are themselves, lending coherence to the music and help ing to convey a sense of sti ll ness anel contemplation.

The impressionist side of Ravel, anel some differences from Debussy. are illustrated in the piano piece]eu-Xd'eau (Fountains. 1901) . ln it Ravel drew on Liszt's pi anistie techniques and in tum gave Debussy ideas for his own watery music. The passagc in Example 32.3 includes many innovative lexlures, such as parallel clissonant cho rds under rushing sr.ales. and choreis and ar peggiated figures that emphasize opens úfths and fourtbs .

The link to the war is es pecially poignant in Le tombear, de Couperin. beca use each movement is dedicated to the memory of a friend of Ravel's who d ied wh ileservi ng in the F'rench mili ta ry duringthe war. The title invo kes the se,•enteenth-century tradition of the Lornbeau. a píece (usually an allemande) cornposed in memory oi' a deceased colleague. and François Couperin, the greatest of the French keyboard composers of the sevemeenth and eil(hteenth centu ri es. Like French keyboard suites of that era. Le tombearL de Couperin includes a prcluelc and several elanccs- here a forlane. rigaudon. and menuet (minuet). But Ravel also included a fugue anda 1occata, gemes more closely associated with J. S. Bach, honoringthe classical trad ition of both Prancea nd Germany in a way reminiscenl of Couperin's own blend of French and Italian styles (see chapter 18). When Ravel orchestrated the suite in 1919. he om.itted Lhe fugue and toccata, 1,<iving it a more speciftcally French character. The Menuet (NAWM 168) from the orchestral version of the s uite exemplines Ravel's brand of neoclassicism. Thc trick in wr iüng neoclassical music is Lo make it sound both classic and new at the sarne time. The classical lrails areclear: a li ltingminuet rhythm. a melodicstyleand o rnam ents rem infacent of Couperin. minuet and trio form (though with some va1ied repetitions and acoda) , four-measure phrases, a simple harmonic plan with motion to the dominant and parallel minor, domin ant -to -tonic cadences in the minuet. and in the trio drones and repeating figures on an open lifth in imitation of the d rone bass of an eighteenth-century musette. But from the opening measures, where seventh a.nd túnth chords out number the triads, it is clear no eighteenth-ce ntury composer could have written t his music. Unexpected harmonies abound. and the entire trio presents its melody clothed in parallel lriads, vülually an impressionist trademark. Al the reprise oi' the minuel, the themes of the minuet and trio are combin ed in cou nterpoint. which recaiIs the contrapuntaJ feats of Bach but at the sarne time undermines the more tra ditional harmony of the minuet theme wíth the nonfonctional parallel triads of the trio. The combination oi' classic and new traits is q11intessentia lly aeo classical. Especially in the colorful orchestral version. with its varied timbres :md speciaJ effects from s tring harmonics to muted brass, the blend of elemenls is also characteristic of Ravel.

Modernism and National Traditions The careers and music of Mahler, Strauss. Debussy. and Ravel exemplify the search by those in the ftrst generation of modernist composers for a personal style that absorbed what was useful from the past, was trne to their natíonal identity, yet was distinctive anel individual. As we survey a n umber of major composers from other nations across Europe. we will also see th is interplay between tradition and innovation ancl between national identity and personal style a t work.
RUSSIA: RACHMAN INOFF ANO SCRIABIN The works of Rachmaninoff and Scriabin il lustrate tbe wide variety of personal styles in this period. Classmates al the Moscow Conservatory, each developed an ind ividual idiom that drew both on Russian tradi tions and 011 the pan-European heritage of the virtuoso pianist• composer. Serge Rachmaninoff (1873- 1943), shown in Figure 32.6, made his living pri ma rily as a pianist. especially after lea\<ing Russia in 1917 in tbe wake of the Russian Revolution and making his home in lhe United States. His notable works include three sym phonies, the sym phonic poem The Isle of the Dead (1907). and the chorai symp ho ny The Bells (1913). But his most cha racteristic music is for piano. especially lhe twenty- fo,u· preludes (1892-191 O) and two sets of Etudes-1a.bleaux (191 l and 1916- 17) for piano solo. four piano concertos, and hi s Rhapsod,l on a T'heme of Poganini for piano and orchestra (1 934). a salute from one greatvirtuoso to another. His music combines influences from \Vestem composers, such as Mendelssohn and Chopin, with Russian elemcnts from Orthodox liturgical music lo Tchaikovsky.

Some have dismissed his musicas old • fashioned, but like other composers of his generation, he sough t a way to appeal to listeners enamored of the classics by offering something new and individual yet steeped in tradition. R.ather than introduce innovations in hannony, as did Strat1,ss.

The melodie cha racter of the middle section is strongly inlluenced by the harmonic context and lhe new, llowing accompanimental figure. This melodie idea is developed through a series of slight variations, typica l of Rachmaninoff in that one can· not predict lhe melody's progress but it sounds right in retrospect. Such qualities were not enough for those who demanded innovation in barmony, but RacbmanLnoJ'f's music ultimately won a place in the permanent repertoire most ofbjg contemporaries would bave envied. AlexandcrScriabin (1872- 1915). shown in Figure 32.7. traveled a different path. He began by writing nocturnes, preludes, études, and maiurkas in tbe manner of Chopin, then gradually absorbed the chromaticism of Liszt and Wagner; the octatonic scale (scale of aller· nating half steps and whole steps) anel other exotic elements from Rimsky· Korsakov; and the juxtapositions oftexture, scale, and ngu· ration from Debussy and Russian composers. He gradually evolved FIGURE 32.7: AlexonderScnabín. a complex harmonic vocabulary ali his own. using choreis featur · inaport ra.irbyA . Y.

Such a language, with its symmetrical scales that provide colorful dissonance while evading conventional tonal resolution. was perfectly suited to Scriabin's no tion of music as a means to transcend daily existence and offer a glimpse of the divine. an otherwoddly truth. an experience of ecstasy. Besides piano music, he wrote symphonies anel other orchestral works, notably Poem of Ecstasy (1908) and Prometheus (191 O). Dur· ing performances of tbe !alter, the composer wanted the concerl hall to be flooded with changing coloreei light; his own synaesthesia caused him to link particular pitches to colors. and he aspired to a synthesis of all the arts with the aim of inducing states of mysüc rapttll'e. The changes in his musical language can be fo llowed in hjg ten piano sonatas. of wbich the last five. composed 191 1- 13. dispense with key signatures and tonality. He replaceu conventional tonal harmony by choosing for eacb work a complex chord that serves as a kind of tonic anel as lhe sourcc of a work's melodie and harmonic material. The referentiaJ chorei typically contains one or two tritones and is usually part of an octatonic scale, some· limes with one added note. Tbese cho1·ds resemhle Wagner's Tristan chorei (see chapter 28). yet they are treated as static objects and do not project a yearning towru-d resolution: instead of the desire Wagner sought to invoke. they suggest a transcendence of desire, which can be readas erotic or mystic depend ing on the context. Scriabin creates a sense of harmonic progression

by mmsposing anel altering the referential chorei, enJiveningthe texture with vigorous figuration. until the chord returns at the end, sometimes with alterations. Through this process of harmonic anel textura) change. together with a gi·adual increase in dynamics and i·ange, the music typically traces a course from an enigmaticbegin ning, through increasingclyna mism , to ecstatic tran scenelence. Such pieces cannot be elescribed as tonal. but the novel harmony serves mosr oi' 1:he l'uncr ions of rona lity, establishing a home tonal region, clepa11ing from it, and returning. E:xample 32.5 illustntes this process in Vers laftamme (Toward the Flame). Op. 72 (]914, NAWM l':0). a one-movement tone poem for piano. The opening in Example 32.Sb es tablishes a referencial sonority of two tritones, E:-Aj-C#-D, decorated melodically by q anel f#. Wi th the exception of Fj , these are all notes from the octatonic scale shown in Example 32.5a. Wben the sonority is transposed upa tnino r thir<l in measure 5, the remaining notes of the scale appear, anel the whole passage repeats in the new position. Such octatoni c sonorities and chord successions occur throughout. interspersed with other types of harmonies. As shown in Examplc 32.Sc-e. the opening chord returns periodically in new guises, acquiri.ng B as well as C# and F# along the way; ali these variants also appear in transposition, usually by major or minor third or tritone. At the climactic encling (Example 32.51'). the D becomes Dj. creating a resonant chord based mostly on fourths that se1ves as :a final co ni c equivalem . lnstead of resolving the initial tritones E-A# and Gj!-D as tritones normally do in tonal music-inward to a third or outward to a sixth-both of these tritones "resolve" over the course of the movement by expanding to forro the perfeclf1.l'ths E- B and Gj!- Dfi , a harmonic embodiment ofthe journey toward h·anscendence implied by the title. The preelominant óguration changes from section to section. producing an effect of static blocks of sound chat are juxtaposecl, as in Musorgsky's and Debussy's music. Coorelinatecl with the gradual transformations of th e referentia l chorei is a vast expansion in range and increase in dynanúc levei and density of attacks. leading to the ecstalic conclusion. Of ali the composers surveyeel in this chapter, Scriabin traveled the furthest from common-practice tonal harmony. Rachmaninoff the least. yet both carne from a similar heritage as virtuoso pianist-composers in the Russian 1radilion. Their diJferences exemplify 1he range oi' choices open to modernist composers and the variety of patbs they pursued .

ln his lberia (1905-8), a collection oi' twelve piano pieces in four books, Albéniz blended Spanish melodie traits and dance rhythms with a colorful virt uoso style that clrew on Liszt anel Debussy. Granados baseei piano pieces on dances from ali over Spain, and his Goyescas (1909-12), inspired by sketches by the Spa n ish artist Prancisco Goya (1746-1828), draw on numerous Spanish styles. from the keyboard sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti (see chapter 22) and eighteen th-century theatrical styles of I he tonadiUa and :mr:weta to flamenco guitar and Andahisian song.

He collected and arranged naliona.l folk songs, .i ntroducing a wider pu blic to the variety in the Spanish folk tradition. His earlier works-such as the opera La, vida breve (Life Is Short. 1904-13) and the bal.lets El amor bmJo (Love, the Sorcerer, 1915) and El sombrero de tres picos (The ThreeCol·nered Hat, 1916-19)-are imbued with the melodie and rhythm ic qualilies of Spanisb popular rnusic.

• The Eody Twent,eth Century: The c 1.,.;,ol Trod;t;on
The Engli.sh musical renajssance begun in the late nineteenth centu1y (see chapter 30) took tlight in the twentieth. as composers sought a distinctive voice for Eoglish art music after ceoturies of dornination by foreig:n styles. Cecil Sharp (1859-1924), Ra lph Vaughan \ViJliams, anel others coll ected anel pub lishecl hundreds of folk songs, leading to the use of tbese melodies in compositions such as Vaughan Williams's Norfolk Rhapsodies (1905- 6) anel Five Variant.s of "Dives and Lazarus" (] 939) as well as Gustav Holst's Somerset Rha,psody (1906-7). These two composers. s hown together in Pigu re 32.8, had become close friends while students of Parry and Stanford at the Royal Conservato1y of Music, anel they beca me the leaders oi' a new English school. Ho lst, who contribt1ted notable works foi· stage, c horns, orchestra, and hand (see ahove), was influenced not only hy English song hut also hy Hindu sacred texts, whlch he set in Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda (1908-12). He is best known for a non - na!ionalist work. the orchestral suite The Planeis (1914-16). which hecame the source for many conventions of scoring for movies and television shows set in space. Vaughan Williams was more national in style than Holst. His works include nine symphon ies and other orchestral pieces, 1i lm scores, works
for band, songs. operas, and many chora l pieces. He drew inspiration not only from folk song but also from English hymnody anel earlier English composers such as Thomas Tallis anu Henry Purcell. He also shtdied with Ravel and absorbed strong intluences from Deb ussy. Bach. anel Handel. Vaughan Williams exemp li f1ed a 1rair common to severa! modem Englisb composers: he wrote both art music aud practical or utilitarian music. using elements from eacb tradition in the other. He gained a profound knowledge or hymnody as musical editor or the new English Hymnal in 1904-6, writing !ater that "Two years of close association with some of tbe best (as well as some of the worst) tunes in the world was a better musical education than any amou11t of sonatas anel fugues." He also composed a half-dozen hymn !'unes, arranged over forty folk songs as hy mns, and resurrected fo rl{otten six1 een th-cen tury tunes for 1he hymnal. Throughout his long career, he conducted loca] amateur singers and playe rs, for whom he wrote a num.ber oi' pieces. Such links with amateur musi.cmaking kept Vaughan Will iams anel other E.nglish composers from cultivating an esoteric style acldressed only to eclucaled listeners. The national qua lity of Vaughan Williams's music comes J'rom his incorporation or im itation of Bl'itish fo lk tunes and his assimilation of the modal harmony of sixteentb-cenlury English composers. One of his most popular wo rks, Fantasia on a, Theme o/Thomas Tallis (191 O) for double s Lring orchestra and string quartel, is base d on a Tallis hymn in the Phrygian mode that Vaughan Williams had revived for the Englísh Hymnal. The piece introduces fragments of the tune. states it simply once, anel develops motives from it in a free fantasy, using anliphonal sonoriLies and triads in para llel motion in a modal framework. Like his teacher Ravel, Vaughan Williams found ways to write varied but always national and recognizably individual rnusic.

EASTERN AND NORTHERN EUROPE: JANÁCEK AND SIBELI US Spain an d Britain were independent nations fo r whom nationalism was primarily a culhiral issue. But for the peoples of eastern Europe and the Baltic region under 1he Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires, it was also an urgent political concern. Music that reílected a people's language anel tra ditions was valuable at home as an assertion of an independent national iden tity and abroad as an appeal for internat ionaJ recognition as a nation. The leading twentieth-cenlury Czech composer. Leos Janãcek (18541928). worked in the genres of\Vestem a11 music. especially opera. but sought a specincal.ly national style.

on them. ParticuJarly distinctive is his use of melodies and rhythms based on the inflections and rhythms of spoken words. This is an idea that we have sccn 1·epeateclly in vocaJ music, from Peri's recilative in the early seventeemh century to Musol'gsky's settings of Russian in Boris Godunov. but Janácek applied it to instrumental music as well. Toe pa rticular patte rns or 1he Czech language-especially its long and short vowels, independem of the stress accent that usually falis at the beginning of a wo rd-give his musica higWy ind ividual character. Janácek asserted his indepen dence fromAustria notonly in melod ie style but also in h:is characteristic procedures. His mus.ic l'elies on contrasting sonorities. harmonies, motives. and tone colors. and it proceeds primarily by repeating and juxtaposing ideas in a manner ak:in to Musorgsky or Debussyl'ather thao develop ing them as in the Germanic tradition. After winning local renown for bis folk song and dance collectious and for chorai music in Czech, Janácek gained wider prominence in bissixties when his operaJemifa. based on a Moravian subject and premiered in Brno in 1904. was performed in Prague in 1916 andagain in Vienna in 1918, theyeanhat Czechoslovakia gai ned independence after the dissolution of Austria- Hungary. With new conndence from both personal and politicaJ triumphs. in his Jast decade Janâcek produced a string of operas that dominated tbe Czech stage between the world wars and later became part of the international repe1io1y, including Kát'a Kabanová (192 l), The Cunning Little Vixen (1924). The Makropulos Affair (1925). and From the House ofthe Dead (1928). Jn his operas, strongly comrastmg ideas are used to delineate diverse characters and situalions. His instrumental works , such as the llashy orchesh·aJ Sinfonietta (1926) and two late string quartets (1923 and 1928). dcpend on similar contrasts. Finland was part of the Russian Empire from 1809 until it gained mdependeoce io 191 ?, but it was cultura lly domiuated by Sweden, whic h had ruled it for centuries. Jean Sibelius (1865- 1957). shown in Figure 32.9. was raised speak.itlg Swedish. then as a young man became a committed Finnish patriot, learningthe Janguage and changinghis name from the Swedish Johan to the French Jean. Fascinated with the Finnish nationa l epic. the Kalevala. he mined it for texts to set in llis vocal works and for subjects to tteat in his symphonic poems. He modeled many themes on recitation formulas for the epic, repetitive me lodies 0 11 th e ftrst nve notes of the minor scale. Sihelius established his reputation as Finland's leading composer in the 1890s witb a series of symphonic poems, including K1ille1vo (in Jive move ments with soloists and chorus), En saga, The Swan ofTuonelo.. Lenuninkii.inen·s Retum. and his most famous (and political). Finlo.ndia,. From 1897 to the end of lús life, he was supported by tbe Finnish government as a national artist. He then turned to the international audience around 1900 with publicalion and performaoces of his sympbonic poems and with his tirst two symphonies (1899 and 1901- 2) and Violin Concerto (1903- 4). followed by nve more symphonies through 1924. Sibelius devised a personal style marked by modal melodies. uncomplicated rhythms, insistent repetition of brief mot ives. osti-
oatos. pedal points, anel strong coDLrasls of orchestral timbres and text1il'es, aJl designed to create a distinctive sound and mus icaJ discourse fal' removed from the nineteenth-cenltuy academic tradition in which he had been trained. EspeciaHy original is Sibelius's treatment of forro. In addilion to reworking sonata form in novel ways, he usecl <levices that have been ca lled "rotational form." repeatedly cycling tluough a series of thema tic elemenls thal are varied each Iime, ;ind "teleological genesis," a goal -directed process of generat ing a theme from motivic fragmeots, sometimes over an emire movement or sym phony. Tbe former was anticipaled in the Prelude to W3btner's Tristan und /solde (NAWM 149a) and used independentlyby Debussy in Nuages (see 1':AWM 167). and che latter builds on Liszt's themalic transformation and Brahms's developing variation. Both rotational form and teleological genesis are exemplined in the slow third movement of Sibelius's Fourth Syrnphony (1910- 11), which rotates severa! times through three main ideas. Example 32.6 shows one of these ideas at three d ifferent stages: (a) its nrst appearance; (b) a statement midway. when the first half of the theme is clear but the second halfhas notyet found its footing; and (e) the !'mal, defrnitive form. Sibelius saw his style as modern, a radical clepanure from tradilional pro cedures. But by the i'9 l Os, he was regarded in some circles as conservative because he continued to use cliatonic melodies and tonal harmonies. evco if in a novel, personal idiom. These traits helped to make his music popular in his own cou ntry, Britain , and the United States, but htn1 his reputation on the Conlinent. and he stoppecl composing by the late l 920s. Moreover. wbile audiences and critics on the Continent welcomed his early works as

representatives oJ' a new nation in the classical repenoire, they resisted his subsequent tum to a mo re universal style in h is symphonies, sbowing that for composers 011 Europe's peri phery a st&·ong national identity could be as much of a trap as it was a blessing. Sibelius's search lo reconcile his status as an outsider with the classical heritage, to blend nationa lism with inlernational appeal. and to balance innovative wilh lraditional elements revea.ls many of the fau lt lines in twentieth -cen lury mus ic.
The Avant-Garde While modernist composers were devising ways to say something new wilhin the classical tradition, the years befo re World War 1 also brought tbe nrst stirrings of a movemeut tbat clirectly cballengeel that tradition and would grow in importance over the course of the centmy: the cw aut-garde . The French militai')' used the term to describe an advance group that pre pared Lhe way for Lhe mainarmy. The Lerm was thenadopted in Lhe mid-nineteenth century for an d by French artists who saw themse lves as a vangua rd exploring new territory. Although sometimes applied to anyone who departs from coovention, or l0 modernists such as Schoenberg (see chapler 33), lhe term is most helpful when used more nar:rowly for art that is iconoclastic, irrev erent. antagonistic, and nihilistic.-íor art that seeks lo overthrow accepted aesthetics and start fresh. Rather than attempt to wl'ite music suited for the classical repertoire, avant- garde composcrs have cballenged lhe very con cept of deathless classics. asking their listeners to focus instead on what is happening in the present. Their movement is marked not by shared elements of style but by shared altitudes, par ticulady ao unrelenting opposition to the status quo .
ERIK SATIE
Piano works
On.e side of the avant-garde is exemplüied by the music of Er ik Satie (l 8661925). which wittily upends conventional ideas. Satie was a French national isr in a similar vein to Debussy and Ravel, but made a more radical break with the entire classical tradition. His set of three Gymnopédies (l 888) for piano, for example. challenged the Romantic notions of ex'Pressivity and individu ality. Insteael of offering variery, as expected in a set of p ieces, Lhey are ali ostentatiously plain and unemotional, using the sarne slow tempo. tbe sarne acco mpanimental pattern, virtually the sarne melodie rhythm. and similar moda l ha rmonies and puzzling dynamics. Satie's use of modal and unresolved chords opencd new possibilities for Debussy and Ravel, who Lurned thcm to differem uses but rlid not follow his avant-garde tendencies. Betwee n 1900 and 1915, Satie wrote severa l sets of pia no pieces with surrealistic titles like Three Pieces in the Porm of a Pear (1903. which act ually has seven pieces) and Autmnn.tic De.~r.ription~ (1913) . Most had runn ing commenta.i-y and tongue - in-cheek dü-ections to the player. such as "withdraw your hand and put it in your pocket," " that's wonderful!," or "heavy as a sow." These satirized the titles anel ex1nessive directions of Debussy. Scriabin. and
The Avont·Gordo
other composers of descriptive anel programmatic music. Moreover, by print ing the commentary on the music rather than in a program. so that only the player was aware of il, Salic criliqued the idea of concert music anel reclaimed the fading tradition of music for the player's own e11joyment. Bur the comic and critica.l. spi.rit resides also in lhe music itse!J'- spare. dry, cap ricious. brief, repetitive, pa rodistic, and wi11y in the highest degree. The classical masterworks are a particulartargel: the seconcl of the three Emb17onsdesséchés (Dried Embryos. 1913) includes a mocking ··quotation írom the celebrated mazurka of Schubert"' (actually Chopin's funeral march), ma rked "they ali begin to c1-y," and the third (NAWM 17 1[Full S\ ) satirizes Wagnerian Jeitmotives and ends with a long "obligaLory cadema (by the compose1}' that pounels on the tonic repeated ly, a jibe at the s imilar passages that close severa l Beethoven symphonies. Clearly Satie was no l oul to create masterpieces thal would take their place in the greal tradition: rather, he was cballenp;il1p; tbe very bases ofthat trad ition. ln his larger pieces, Satie sought to create music that would fix our attention on the present. His "realistic ballet" Parade (1916-17), with a scenario by the writer Jean Cocteau, choreography by Léonide Massine, and scenery and costumes by Picasso. introduced cubism to the stage. as illustrated in Figu re 32.10. ln the cubisl spirit of including fragmenLS of everyday life, Satie's score incorporatecl jazz elements, a whistle, a siren, and a t)11ewriter. It caused a scandal. as did his !ater ballet with ftlm. Rel-ãche (No Show Tonight, 1924). His "sympho nic drama" Socrate (1920). for soloists and chamber orchestra on texts from Plato, attains in ils last scene, on Lhe deatb of Socrates, a poibrnancy tJ,at is intensi h ed by the stylistic monotony and the stttdied avoidance of a direct emotional appeal. Satie composed bis Musique d'ameubtemeni (FurniLure Music, 1920) LO be played during the intermissions of a p lay, inteneling it as background music that shou ld not be Jistened to. Each work by Satie questioned the listener's expectations. no two pieces were alike, and wheoever he gained followers. he abandoned them by doiog somethi.ng radically diFferent. His biting, antisentimental spirit, economical textures , ano severe harmony and melody in lluenced the music ofhis younger compatriots Milhaud and Poulenc. among others, and he was a signincant inspi.rationfor theAmerican avant -garde, notably John Cage.
FUTURISM AJtbougb Satie questionecl traditional assumptions about expressivity. inclividua lity, seriousness, masterworks, and the ve1-y pu rpose of music. he used traditioaal instruments and musical pitches. The Ttaliaa futurists rejected even those. ln TheArt of Noises: Futlirist Manifesto (1913: see Source Reading. p. RIO). the f'uturist paintP.r Luigi Russolo arg,,P.d in dP.a<I eamP.st that musica l sounds bad become stale and Lhat the modem world of machines required a aew kind of music based on noise.

THE ART OF NO ISES Futurism began in 1909 as a literary and artistic movement in ltaly celebra'ting the dynamism. speed. machines. and violence of the twentieth century. Luigi Russolo (1885-1947) was a futurist painter who turned his attention to music in 1913. ln The Art of Noises: A Futur,st Manifesto, Russolo laid out h,s argument for music based on noise rather than mus;cal pitches.

The art of music at first sought and achieved purity and sweetness of sound: later. it blended diverse sounds. but always with in tent to caress the ear with suave harmonics. Today, growing ever more complicated. it seeks those combinations of sounds that fali most dissonantly, strangely. and harshly upon the ear. We thus approach nearer and nearer to the music of noise. This musical evolution parallels the growing multiplicity of machines, which everywhere are assisting mankind. Not only amid the clamor of great cities but even in the countryside. which until yesterday was ordinarily quiet. the machine today has created so many varieties and combinations of noise that pure musical sound-with its poverty and monotony-no longer awakens any emotion in the hearer.... We must break out of this narrow circle of pure musical sounds. and conquer the infinite variety of noise-sounds. Everyone will recognize that every musical sound carries with it an incrustation of familiar and stale sense associations. which predispose the
hearer to boredom, despite a li the efforts of innovating musicians. We futurists have alldeeply loved the music of the great composers. Beethoven and Wagner for many years wrung our hearts. But now we are satiated with them and derive much greater pleasure from idealiy combining the noises of street-cars, internal-combustion engines, auto· mobiles. and busy crowds than from re-hearing. for example. the "Eroica• or the "Pastorale: ... Every manifestation of life is accompanied by noise. Noise is therefore familiar to our ears and has the power to remind u:s immediately of life itself. Musical sound. a thing extraneous to life and independent of it, an occasional and unnecessary adjunct. has become for our ears what a too familiar face is to our eyes. Noise. on the other hand. which comes to us confused and irregular as life itself, never reveals itself wholiy but reserves for us innumerable surprises. We are convinced. therefore, that by selecring, co-ordinating, and controlllng noises we shall enrich mankind with a new and unsuspected source of pleasure. Despite the fact that it is characteristic of sound to remind us brutally of life. the Art of Noises must not limit itself to reproductive imitation. lt will reach its greatest emotional power through the purely acoustic enjoyment which the inspiration of the artist will contrive to evoke from comb inations of noises.

Late Romantic or Modem? The music of ea rly- twe ntieth- ce ntury composers in lhe classical tradilioo was rema rkably diverse, and its reception has been eq ually varied. These composers' position between tbe lions of late Romanticism, dis· cussed in chapters 28-30, and the more radical composers discussed in the next chapter can make their music hard to classif)•. The fust edition of this book in 1960 treated DebuSS)' as a late·Romantic figure, but by lhe 1973 second ed ition he was regarded as a sem inal force for modern· music. Ali the composers of this generation have aspects of both eras. combining nine teenth-centu ry training and traits with twe111ieth-cemury sensibilities. Per haps that is why so much of th is music-especially that of MahJe1·, Strauss, Debussy. Ravel. Rachmaninoff, Vaughan Williams. and Sil1elius -has proven extremely popular with listeners. Critica! disputes about what is mos t valuable in music have been especiaJJy acute in the twe ntieth cenhny, andas a result, critica] esteem for these composers has changed ovcr time. often d l'amatically. For example. Mahler during his lifetitne was known outside Vienna mostly as a conduclor. ln lhe decades after hi s death, the advocacy of condu ctors such as Bruno Walter and Willem Mengelherg began to estahlish his reputation as a composer. and Austria promoted him as a native soo, until the han 011 performance of music by Jewish composers du ring the Naii regime in Germany and Austria cut the boomJet short. After World War li. the lo ng-playing record made his lo ng symphonies more accessible. performances and recordings by Leonard Bernstein and others around the time of Mah.ler's centena.ry in 1960 broughl his music to a ,\'ider aud ience. and soon h is :symphonies and orchestral so ngs were nrmJy established in the international repertoire. Similar efforts after Wo rld War II ralsed Janái:ek from local to intemalional fame. Meanwhile, when c1·iti.cs and scho lars increasi nglycame toviewtonality as old -fashioned. tbe reputations of Strauss and Sibelius declined. only to be rescued !ater in tbe twentieth ceotury when their innovations hecame better understood and when increasing numbers of living composers turned back to the sounds and methods of tonal music. White some music by composers of this generation may sound late Romaotic io spir it o~ technlque, what makes aU of it modernist is this ovenvhelming sense of measuring oneself againsl the past.

RADICAL MODERNISTS
The nrst wave of modernist composers discussed in the previous chapter secured an enduring place in the classical repertoire by combining elements from the classical tradition with something new to create an individual, distinctive, and original bocly of music. ln the years just before and after World War I, a younger gro up of modernist composers ca rried out a more radical break from the musica l language of the past than their preclecessors hacl, while maintaining strong links to lhe sarne traditions. These composers reassessed inherited conventions as profoundly as the modernis ts in art who pioneered expressionism, cubism, and abstract art. Rather tha n please viewers or listeners on n rst sight or nrst hearing, an ai tribute that had always been considered essential in both art and music, modernists of their generation sought to challenge our perceptions and capacities, providing an experience that would be impossible through traditional means. They offered an implicit critique of mass culture and easily digested art, and their writings often show it. These co mposers saw no contra cliction in claiming the masters of the pastas models. ln fact, they saw thei r own work as continuing what the pathbr eaking classical composers hacl started, notas overthrowing that tradition, and their music is often most radi cal in the ways they interpret and remake the past. Rather than taking up the topics in this ch apter one by one, we will introduce them in th e context of discussing six moclernist co mposers who are among the besl known and most inlluential of the entire century. Arnold Schoenberg and Igor Stravinsky were leaders of two branches of modemism that often seem to be at opposite
Arnold Schoenberg Arnold Schoenberg (1874- 1951; see biography and Figure 33.1) was committed to continuing 1he German classical tradjtion , and fo r that very reason he felt compelled to move beyond tona lity to ítlomtlity-a term for music that avoids establishing a lOnal cente1~ and then to the ttvclvc-tonc mcthod. a form of atonality based on systematic orderings oi' 1he twelve notes ol' the chromatic scale. His innovations made him famous in some quarters andbecause the resulting nmsic was both dissonant and diffi.cult to follownotorious in others.
TONAL WORKS Like 01her modernists of his generalion, Schoenberg began by wriLing tonal music in late Romantic style. The clu·omatic idiom ofhis first important work, a tone poem for string sextet titled Verkliirte Nacht (Transngured Night. 1899). grew from 1hat of\Vagner's Tristan undlsolde, while the symphonic poemPel!ea.s tmd Meliscmde (1902-3) draws on Mah ler and Strauss. Th e huge canta ta CurreLieder (Songs of Gurre. 1900-l. orchesu·ation completed 1911) outdoes Wagner in emotional fervor, and Mabler and Strauss in the complex:ity of its scoring. Schoenherg soon turned away from late Romantic gigantism and toward chamber music. He found in Brahms the prfociple of developingvariation (see chapter 29) and applied it in bis own works . such as the String Quariet No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 7. ln 1he <1uartet all the themcs and most subsidiary voices evolve from a few germina l motives throi1gh va riation and combinati on. The form of the one-movementwork. combining an enlarged sonata form with the four s tandard movemen1s of a quartet, owes much to Liszt's Piano Sonata in B Minor, demonstrating Schoenberg's willingness to blend influ ences in order to create something new. The quanet exemplines Schoenberg's intenwined goals for bis music: to continue the traclition anel lo say something lhat bad never been said beforc (see Source Reading, p. 815). He believed that the gi·eat composers of the past had all co ntribut.ed something new and t.herefore of permanent signincance, while preserving and extencling what was ofh ighest value in the music of their predecessors. He sought to do likewise. hoping to achieve similar itnmor tality. ln essence. his entire ca.reer was a process of developing variation on the ideas and procedures he found in the Austro-German tradition of classical music from Bach to MahJer and Strauss.

ARNOLD SCHOENBERG (1874-1951)
Schoenberg was one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century, best known for his atonal and twelve· tone music. Schoenberg was born in Vienna. the son of a Jewish shopkeeper. He began violin lessons at age eight, then taught himself to compose by imitatíng the music he played. When his father died in 1891. Schoenberg had to leave school an d work as a bank clerk. His instruction in theory and composition was minimal, although the composer Alexander von Zemlínsky served for a time as sound ing board and teacher.
and directed the Society for Private Musical Performances in Vienna, which between 1919 and 1921 gave about 350 per· formances of musíc by hímself and his students and colleagues. After a creatíve impasse, he for· mulated the twelve ·tone method used in the Piano Suite (1921-23) and most of his later works. Mathilde d ied in 1923, anda year later Schoenberg married Gertrud Kolisch, with whom he had three more ch ildren and FIGURE 33.1 : A self-portrait by moved back to Berlín.

N EW MUSIC AN D T RA D IT IO N Arnold Schoenberg saw no contradiction between trad,tion and innovation. For him, the tradition of elas· sical music was a legacy of innovation, and it was his job as a composer to weave threads from the pas t and the present into something truly new. He returned to th1s theme constantly m h1s wntmgs.
ln higher art, only that is worth being prese nted which has never before been presented. There is no great work of art whích does not convey a new message to humanity; there is no great artist who fails in this respect. This is the cede of honor of all the great in art, and consequently in ali great works of the great we will find that newness which never perishes, whether it be of Josquin des Prés, of Bach or Haydn. or of any other great master.

ATONAL MUS IC ln 1908, Schoenherg began to compose pie<:es chat avoided es1ablish.ing any note as a tonal center. Others called such m usic a to nal. although Schoenberg disliked the term. He felt compelled to abandon tonality in pal't because the heightened chromaticism, distant modulations, and prolcmged dissonances of late·nineteenth - century music had weakened the pull of the tonic. mak· i ng its declaration at the end of a piece seem increasingly arbitrary.

Coherence in a ton a,l inusic
Pitch -class sets
Without a tonal backbone, how was music to be organized? Schoenherg relied on three methods: developi ng variation, the integration of hannooy and melody. and chromatic saturation. All had been used in tonal music. but now he drew on them more fully to provide strnct11re. ln addilion, he often use d gestures from tona l music, forging links to tradition and making his music easier to follow. One or Schoenberg's li rst entireJy atonal pieces. da,ting írom Ma rch 1908. will illustrate: Soget mir, auf welchem Pfade (Te l1 me on which path), the lifth song from a cycle of úfteen oo poems from 7'he Bookof tlte HangingGardens by symbolist poet Stefan George (Op. 15. 1908-9). Toe sense of floating in tonal space e reateei by music thaL does not gravitate to a Lonic is perfectly su ited to the vague eroticism of the poetry. which expresses, through outward symbo ls, the inner l'eelings of a !ove affair. Example 33.1 shows the J'u·st two phrases. Much about the m11sic is familiar from eal'lier German Lieder, including the texture ofvoice witb piano, the rise and fali of the vocal melody, the division into phrases. the use of dynamics to shape each phrase. .and the descending gestures to mark the ends of phrases. As in nineteemh-centuty Lieder, most notes in the voice are also present ln the accompaniment, either in the piano's topmost melody (as at the begioning of measures I and 2) or in the hannony (like the B and C; in measure 1. supponed by the B and O'. in the chord below them). Developing variation is apparent ln both voice anel accompaniment. The openingvocal motiveof a descendingsemitone changes in measure 2 to a falling whole tone. is inverted in measure 3 as a rising major seventh. and reappears in measure 4 as a descending semi tone , though in a new rhyth.m. Similardevelopment of a sem itone motive can be traced in the piano. Meanwhile, the chords in measure 1 are varied in measure 2. and elements from them- such as the cornhination of a tritone with a perfect fotu·th or major third-are echoed in measures 3 and 4. Eve1J1hing that fo ll ows is derived in some way l'rom these opening measures. A variant of measures 3-4 closes the piece. providing a tra ditional sense of return and closure despite the Jack of a key. Schoenberg integrated melody and harmony through a process he called "composing with the tones of a motive," which springs directly from developing variation. ln this process. hc manipulated the notes and intervals of .a motive to crea te chords and new melodies. One way this worked was to treat the notes of a motive contain ing three or more pitches just as we might a triad or other tonal chord: as a collection of pitches that could be transposed, inverted, and arranged in any order and register to generate melodies and harmonies. Theorists !ater termed such a collection a sei or. more formally, 11itc/1-cla ss set . using pitch-cltiss to mean one of the twelve notes of the chromatic scale and its e nharmon ic equjva lents in any octave. A convcnienl way to label seis is to arrangc the notes in tbe mos! compact array from lowest to highest and number each pitch--class by the number of semi tones above the lirst one. ln th is song, th e lirst three notes in the vocal line form lhe sei 016 (counling F as O. F; as I sernitone higher. and B as 6 semit.ones higher). ln lhe example. this and ali l~ter or.r.1.11Tenr.es of this set are enclosed in red boxes. The fll'st chord in the piano aJso contains thls set. transposed (to Fff, G, and C) and arranged as a perfect fourth and tritone within a major seventh. The sel reappears. often transposed or inverted. in

several !ater chords anel melodica lly in the bass. For example, an inverted form (F, E, B) app ea rs as the top three notes of the chord on the downheat of measure 2. followed hy bass motion drawn from a transposed form (B. C. F) and an inverted fonn (A!,, G, D), each presenting the inte1·vals in a differem order. Other sets are used in simila r fashion . Using a limi ted numher of sets gives lhe musica consistenl sound. while changing Lhe o rde r of intervals witbio each set provides variety. Scboenberg tend ecl to use sets tbat formed strong dissonances, because tbose sets are most distinct ive and therefore easier lo follow as the music unfolds. This integration of me lody and harmony harks back 10 music or earlier eras. Atonal mus ic can also be shaped through chrom.M ic w wratio11 , lhe appearance of ali twelve pitch-classes withi n a segment nf music. We saw this method at work in Example 29.6. a song of Hugo \Volf tha l is highly chromatic but still tonal , where all twelve chromatic notes are stated in the úrst phrase and again in the next two measures. The appeara nce oí a note that has not recently been sounded can give a sense of moving forward harmonically. As a corollary. once the twelfth chromatic note has appeared. there can be a sense of full ness and completion, which Wolf in a Lonal context and Schoenberg in an atonal context used to reinfo rce the feeling of completing a phrase. In Examplc 33.1. all twelve notes occur in the first two-measure phrase, the last two (D andA;) stated in the piano chord on the second bea.t of measure 2. SimuJtaneously. the other notes in that sonorlty (Cand Fff in the pianoand E in the voice) initiateanother round of ali twelve. completed at the end of the next phrase w:ith the arrival of A and A!, in the piano. The coordination of chromatic saturation with phrasing is not always this exact; sometimes one or more notes are saved for the next phrase, helping to create longer spans. Th.rough these means, Schoenberg sought Lo write atonal music that was as logical as tonal music. ln 1909, he completed Tlte Book of the Hanging Gardens: Three Piano Pieces. Op. 11: Five Orchestral Pieces. Op. 16: and Erwartung (Expectation), Op. 17, a mo nod.J'3ma (one -cbaJ'3cter opera)

Arnold Schoenberg
ln the early twen tieth cen tury, several groups of German and Austrian painters embraced an international movement called expressionism. which also extended to literature, music, dance, theater. and architecture. Expressionism developed from the subjectivity of Romanticism but differed from it in the introspective experience it aimed to portray and how it chose to portray it. Expressionist painte rs such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, and Egon Schiele rejected traditional Western aesthetic values by
anxiety. and fear. and tormented by elemental. irrational drives including an eroticism that often had morbid overtones. That is also how the Viennese doctor Sigmund Freud. founder of psychoanalysis, described the deepest levei of mernory and emotional activity in his lnterpretation o{ Dreams (1900). ln short. expressionism sought to capture the human condftion as it was perceived in the early twentie[h century. Arnold Schoenberg and his pupil Alban Berg were two leading exponents of expressionism in music, which paralleled expressionist art by adopting a similarly desperate and revolutionary style. lts characteristics are evident in Schoenberg's Erwartung (1909). an opera in which a lone protagonist-emblematic of the artist's alienation from
representing real objects or people in grossly dis-
society ond its conventions-gives voice to what
torted ways. characterized by an intensely expressive use of pure colors and dynamic brushstrokes as in Kokoschka's poster for his own expressionist play Mõrder. Hoffnung der Frauen (Murderer. Hope of Wornen, 1909) in Figure 33.2. These artists and others drew on contemporary themes involving the dark side of city life, in which people lived under extreme psychological pressure, as well as bright scenes from the circus and musichalls that rnasked a more gloorny reality. They aspired to represent inner experience, to explore the hidden world of the psyche and to render visible the stressful emotional life of the modem person-isolated. helpless in the grip of poorly understood forces, prey to inner conAict, tension,
the cornposer described as a dream of Angst. an overwhelming feeling of dread or anxiety. lts distorted melodies, fragrnented rhythrns, violently graphic musical images. and dissonant harmonies create the quasi-hysterical atmosphere typical of the style. ln none of Schoenberg's expressionist pieces. nor in Berg's opera Wozzeck. did these composers try to create music that is prett y or naturalistic (as the impressionists did); rarher, they deployed the rnost direct-even drastic-rneans. no matter now unappealing. to convey extreme and irrational states of mind. Schoenberg was also an arnateur painter and took lessons from Richard Gerstl. a young exponent of expressionisrn in Vienna, who in 1908

He formulated what he c.alled his "method oi' composing with twelve tones that are related on ly to one another·· (rather th an to a tonic) in the early 1920s, after several years during which he puhlished no music. The basis of a twelve tome composition is a row or serfos consisting of the twelve pitch- classes of the chromatic scale arranged in an order choscn by the composer and producing a pa11icular sequence of intervals. ln composing a piece wit.h a twelvetone row. the tones of the series may be used both successively. as melody. and simu.ltaneously, as harmony or counterpoim, in any octave and wilh any desired rhythm. The row may be useel not only in its original. or prime, fonn hut also in inversion. in retrograde order (backwarel). and in retrograde ittversiou , and may appear inany ofthe twelve possible transpositions of any of the four forms. Tbe twelve -note series is often broken into segments of three, four. 01· six notes. whicb are then used as sets to create melodie motives and choreis. As a m ie, the composer states al i twelve pitches of the se ri es before going on to use lhe series in any oi' its forms again (unlcss two or more statements occur simultaneously). Stated this way, the methoel may sound a,·bitrary. But for Schoenberg, it was a systematic way 10 accomplish what he was already doing in his atonal musir.: integ1·a ting harmony anel meloely hy composi ng with a limited number of sets (here. tbose defmed hy segments of tlie row). marking off phrases and subphrases witli chromatic saturation (regulated by the appearance of ali

twelve notes in each statement of the row) , and relyiog on deve loping varia tion. Moreover, Schoenberg recreated by analogy the structural functions of tonality. using lhe transposition of his rows as an analO!,''U C to modubtion in tonal music. After focusing on vocal works in his atonal period, he tumed to traditional instrumental forms, as if to demonstrate the power of his method to reconstitute tonal forms in a new musical language. Among Lhese works. composeel beiween 1921 and 1949, are 1:he Piano Suite, Op. 25, modelecl on the keyboard suites of Bach; Variations for Orchestra, Op. 31; Third and Fourth StringQuartets, Opp. 30 and 37; Violin Conce11o. Op. 36; and Piano Concerto, Op. 42. ln these pieces, motives and themes are presenteei and developed, using the tonal forms and geri res of Classic and Romantic music, blll twelve tone rows stand in for the keys. The Piano Suite (excerpled in KAWM 173) illustrates some of Schoen berg's methods. Throughou t the work. the row appears in only eighc forms, shown in Example 33.2a: the untransposed prime fonn (P-0); the prime transposeel up six semitones (P- 6): the ioversion in the sarne two transpositions (1- 0 and 1- 6); and their l'etrograeles (R- 0, R- 6. RI- O, and Rl- 6). Schoenberg clesigneel the row so d1at each of these bep;ins on either E or B', and ends on the other, anel all the primes and inversions have G and D!, as the second pair of notes (see orange box in Example 33 .2a). Tbe recurrence of E. m, C, and m in the sarne places creates a consistency that Schoenberg saw as an analogue to staying in a single key throughout, the normal practice in a Baroque keyboard suite. although it is much more difücult for a listener to hear. The Ílrst four notes of R- 0 give a nod to Schoenberg's model, J. S. Bach, by spelling his name: B!,-A-C-Bl; (B-A-C-H, in German nomenclature). Example 33.2b shows the rows deployed at the beginning of the Prelude (NA\X-'11 173a) . P-0 is in the right hand as meludy, divided into motives of four notes each (in red. orange, anel green circles respectively) . Twelvetone theorists cali such groups of four con,secutive notes from the row tetraclwnls , using 1he ancient Creek termina new sense (see chapter 1). lo the left hand as accompaniment we fmd P- 6, using the sarne division into tetrachoreis and presenting the last two simultaneously. Each tetrachorei is a different type of set. containing different intervals. so in featuring them Schoenberg continueel his earlier practice of composing wilh sets. There is an intervall ic canon between the two hands, reca lling Bach·s contrapun tal practice. At the enel of measure 3, 1- 6 hegins. presenting ali three tet1·a chorels simultaneously, each in its own rhythm. The las! two notes of its úrs t tetrachord overlap the statement of R-6 in measure 5, which also presents the tetrachoreis simultaneously. Here lhe left- hand textl.u·e is less contrapuntal and more like accompanjmental chords. ln the Minuet (NAW\11 173L), shown in Example 33.2c. P- 0 in lhe ftrst two measures is answered by 1-6 in the seconel two. Again both are divideel into tetrachords, with the nrst tetrachord accompanying the others. But Schoenberg starts the melody before ihe accompaniment. so that lhe lirst note of the row eloes not appP.ar nrst. anel he sometimes reorelP.rs the notes within lhetetrachords. Thus he was still composingwith motives and sets, as in bis atonal music. Again, the end of each two - measure phrase is

coordinated with the end of a row, so that chromalic saturation is still helping to demarcate ph rasi ng. Developing variation is clearly at work, since the second phrase varies the first and develops its dolted rhythmic motive. AJso, there are many references 10 tonal m usic. including the meter of the dance, the foursquare phrasing, anel lhe leaeling- tone melodie gestures at the end of each two-measure ph rase. Ali the factors we saw in the atonal music are justas important here. Toe Piano Suite stays in the same "key·· th.roughout, but for a sonata form or other Classic-era form Sc.hoenberg ha·d to fmd an analogue to moelu lation. He created it in his Fourth String Quartel and many other works by devising a way to establish twelve-tone regions containing only one transposition of each row form . Example 33.3 shows th.e row fo r th.e qua r1et. Schoenberg designed it so that the lasl six notes-the second hexnchord-constitute an inverted form of the ôrst six notes, in a dif.ferent order. As a result, there is one inversion of thc row, 1- 5, whose fu-st hexachord has the same notes as the second hexachord of P-0, anel vice versa . lf lhe two rows are combined contrapuntally. by the time the nrst half of each has been stated. all twelve chromatic notes will have been heard exactly once; every other inversion would dup licate at least one note and omit at least one. This special re lation ship prompted Schoenberg to treat each tra nsposition of the prime form. its related inversion, and their retrogrades as .a tonal region analogous to a key. ln the ftrst movement of the quartel, a sonata form, the P- 0/1- 5 region serves as "tonic··-the region in which the piece begins and ends. whlch occupies the largest number of measures. and which is used for the ôrst theme in the exposition and at its final reprise in the coda. The region a ftfth higher is used for the second theme in the exposition, serving as a sort of ·'dominant" region, and the other ten transpositions are used as contrasting "keys." Thus tluough his lwelve- tone method, Schoenberg sought to re -create the forros of tonal music in an entirely new language. LATE TONAL WORKS Twelve-tone music was not Schoenberg's only scrategy for looking back at the trad ition. Some of his works from the l 930s and l 940s are to nal, and in two works he "recomposed" eighteenth-century music. by Matthias Georg Monn anel hy Handel.

SCHOENBERG AS MODERNIST We have discussed Schoenberg at much grealer length than his place in the reper1oi1'e seems to warrant. Yet he merits the space, not only because his music is complex, takes time to understand, and influenced 01hers enormously. but because the problems be chose to address as a modemist composer and the way be faced tbem did much 10 shape tbe course of musical pracrice in the twentieth century. His desire to match the achievements of his forebeaJ"S pressed rum both hacbvard-to reclaim the genres, forms, p roced tll'CS, and gestm·es of the past- and onward toward a new musical languagc. lronically, althougb bis music won bima ceotral place in the modernist tradition , it also eamed a n enduring unpopu lari ty with most listeners and a great many pe rformers, who valued lhe familiar musical language and conventions that he felt compelled to abandon. The disconnection between audiences and con noisseurs in thei r evaluation of music, evident already in the reception of Beethoven's late q:uartets, reached a new intensily with Schoenberg and many other modernists and became a principal theme of twentieth-century music. Schoenherg attracted many devo ted students.

Alban Berg (1885- 1935), shown in Figure 33.4. began studies with Schoenberg in 1904 at age nineteen. Altho ugh he adopted his teacher's atonal and twelve -tone methods, listeners found his music more approachable. He achieved much greater populu success than bis teacher. especially with his opera Wozzeck, premiered in 1925. His secret lay i.n iníusing bis post-tonal idiom not only with the forms and procedures of tonal music. as Schoenberg had done. but also with its expressive gestures, characteristic siyles, and other elements that q:u ickly conveyed meanings and feelings to his hearers. ln this respect be was a direct heir of Maltler and Strauss.

Berg highlights the drama and organizes the music througb the use of leitmotives, pitch-class sets identilied with the main characters. and traditional forms that wryly comment on tbe characters and situation.

music accommodates innovation with the past, reworking the music's inner stmcture justas radically as in Schoenherg's music but keeping more of the familiar on lhe surfacc of lhe music.
Anton Webern Anton Webern (1883-1945), sbown in Figu re 33.5. began lessons with Schoenberg in 1904. at the sarne time as Berg. Hc was already sludying musi • coloror uncler Guido Acller at tbe University of Vienna, where he received a Ph.D. in 1906 and absorbed ideas about mt1sic historythat influenced hfa own (and perhaps also Schoenberg's) development. Webern believeel that music involves the presentation of ieleas that can be Viewofmusic history expressed in no other way; that it operates according to rules of ord er based on natural law rather lhan tas te: thal greal art does what is necessary, nol arbitrary: that evo lution in art is also necessary: and tbat hlsto1y, and thus musical id ioms anel practices, can move only forward, not backwarcl. Aft.er Schoenberg had formuJated. anel Webern and Berg bad adopted, the twelvetone method, Webern arbrued in a series of lecrures published posthumously as The Path 10 the New Mtisic that twelve-wne music was the inevitable resuJt of music's evolution because it combined the most advanced approaches to pilch (using ali twelve chromatic notes). musical space Gntegrating the melodie and harmonic dimensions), anel the presentalion of musical ideas (combining Classic forros wilh polyphonic procedw·es anel unity with variety, derivingevery element from the thematic material). With bis view of history. Webern regarded each step along lhe way from lona.Lity to atonal ity to twelve-tone musicas an act of discovery, not invention. Tbis gave bim- and Scboenberg- total confidence in theü own work, despile lhe incomprehension and opposition they e ncounte1·ecl from performers and listeners. \Vehern's concept of the composer as an artist expressing new ideas, yet also as a researcher maki11g new cliscoveries, sprang from his training in musicology. anel it became enormously influential in the mid - to -late- twentieth century. The contras! lo lhe se rvant- arlisan composer of the Etfteenth to eighteenth centuries, or the nineteenthcentmy composer working to satisfy the public taste. is huge-and very complirnentary to composers. Webern, like Schoenberg and Berg. passed through the stages of late Romantic chromaticism. atonality. and twelve - tone organization, the last beginning in 1925 with lhe three songs of Op. 17. His works. about equalJy divided between instrumental and vocal. are FIGURE 33.5, Anton Webem jr, 1908. in (l mostly for small chamber ensembles. portroit by Ma:rOppenlieimer.

great art should do only what is necessary, bis music is ex tremely concentrated. When writing his Six Bagatelles for String Quartel, Op. 9 (1911-13), he remarked thal once he had incorporated ali twelve notes. he often felt lhat lhe piece was f1nished. Another a to nal work, No. 4 of his Five Pieces for Orchestra, Op. l O, runs to only si.X me.asures, and the last of his Three Little Pieces for Cello anel Piano. Op. 11. to just lwenty notes. Even larger works. like the Symphony. Op. 2 1 ( 1927- 28), anel the String Quartet. Op. 28 (1936- 38) , are only eight or nin e minutes long, and bis entire matu re output takes less than four hours to play. Textures are stripped to lhe bare essentials; bis music has some times been described as pointillistic. since it often features only one to three o r four notes at once or io the same instrn ment in succession. The dynamics, specifted down to the ftnest gradations, seldom rise above forte. Perhaps iniluenced by bis musicological studiesfor his elissertation he editeel volume 2 of Henricus lsaac's ChoraUs Constantintts-he often used techniques of Renaissa nce po lyp hony, inc luding canons in inversion or retrograde. Unlike Berg, he avoided using seis or rows with tonal implications. Toe first movement of the Symphony, Op. 21 (NAWM 175), illustrates Webern's use of twelve-tone procedures, caoons, instrumentation, and fonn. The entire movement is a double canon in inversion, Example 33.6 shows the beginning. with canon I in the top two staves anel canon 2 in the bottom two staves. lnstead of highl ighting the canonic lines by setting each as a conlinuous melody in a distinctive timbre anel range. Webern deliberately integrates them. Each line is filled with rests. changes timbre frequently. and weaves back and forth thro ugh the sarne thre e-octave ra oge. The succession of timbres is as much part of the melody as are the pitches and rhythms, and the changes of instrument in thc leadingvoice of each canoa are echoed in the followingvoice. Here\Vebern applies Scboenberg's concepi o!'Kla11gfarlum m.e/,odie (tone-co.l ormelody), in wh ich cha11gesof toneco lorareperceived as parallel to changing pitches in a melody. The douhle canon is nestled within a r einlerpre ta tion of sonata form , showing Webern's integration of Classic formal principies with procedures from Renaissance polyphony. The expos ition contai.ns noc two contrasting themes. but a contrast of character between canon I and canon 2. After the exposition repeats exactly, the development is a palindrome, anel lhe reca· pih1lation presents the sarne succession of rows as the exposition. but in new rhythms and registers. The development and recapitulation then repeat. as in an early Classic symphony. Thus lhrough an.alog)', Webern recreales the tonal structure of a Classic symphonic fi.rst movement in twelve- tone terms. Like Schoenberg·s twelve-tone analogies to tonal stmcture, Webero's is beyond the capacity of most listeners. \Vhat can be heard more rearlily is the exact rep· ctitioo oi' each halJ of the movcmcnt; given lhe origins oi' twelve - lone music in the principie of nonrepetition and developing variation, such deli berace repetition makes a strong reference to the forms of the past.

Withi n each block, and indeed throughout the piece, there is 11 0 develop ment of motives or themes as traditionally under· stood, but rather repetition and unpredictable variation. Often Stravinsky huilds up textures by layering rwo or more independe u! strauds of music on top oi' each other.

NEOCLASSICAL PERIOD
Usesof neoclassicism
ln 1919, Diaghilev asked Stravinsk-y to orchestrate pieces by the eighteenthcentury composer Pergolesi (including music erroneously attributed to him) to accompany a new ballet, Ptdcinella. Stravinsky applied bis distinctive s tylistic traits to the music, reworking a number of pieces so that they retained the original music faithlully yet sounded more like Stravinsky than Pergolesi. He !ater spoke of this experience as his "discovery of the past, the epiphany tbrough which the whole of my late work became possible." h1 the sarne year of 1920, be completed the Symphonies of Wind Instruments. which applied the methods distilled in The Rite ofSpring to an entirely abstract composition. Thus was lauucbed a new stage io Straviosky's career, bis oeoclassical period. Although he was nol the ftrst to compose neoclassical music (see chapter 32) . Stravinsky was the most prominent composer of the neoclassical movemenl. His neoclassical period, from 1919 to 1951, marks a tum away from Russian fo lk music and toward ear!ier Western a1i musicas a sou rce for imitation. quotation. or allusion. This step was useful to Stravinsky because the fashion in westem Europe for Russian nationalism was begiuning to fade. in pa1i because the poli ti.cal and culrural ties between France and Russia had dissolved after tbe Bolshevik Revolution. ln technical te rms , imitating anel a]Judin g to music in the classical lradition was hardly differenl from what he had been doing ali along in making use of folk and popular materia is. so neoclaMicism in effect gave him new subject matter without requiring him to retool completely. Neoclassicism also addressed the dilemma of establishing a place in the crowded classical reperto ire. Stravinsky had already solved the problem of creating

an individual style. He now used his distinctive idiom. forged in 1he Russian traditions. to establish fresh links to the \Vestem classical tradition , justas Schoenberg used his modernist twelvc - tone procedures to resurrecl the forms and genres of the classical past. Yet even as Stravinsky became thoroughly cos mopoliran, he always remained something of an outsider, and instead of Schoenberg·s expressionism. we fmd in Stravinsky's music an emotional derachme nt. Thus his neoclassical musicadoptsananti- Roma ntic tone, reflecting a p1·eference for balance, cooluess, objectivity, anel absolute (as opposed to program) music. ln his neoclassical works. Stravinsk-y borrowed from or alluded Lo a wide range of composers, styles, forms, and gemes. Many pieces recall the Classic era, includ ing the Piano Sonata (1921) , Sympho ny in C (1939-40) , Symphony in Three Movements ( 1942- 45), and The Rake·s Progress (1947- 51). modeled on Mozart's comic operas and with a libretto based on a series of engravings by t he eighteenth -centwy English artist Wil.liam Hogarth. But some works use other sources: Bach's concertos in the Concerto for Piano and Winds (1923- 24) and Dumbarton Oaks Concerto (1937- 38), Rossini and Glinka in the opera Mavra ( 1921-22), Tchaikovsky in thebalJet The Pairy's Kiss (1928). and even Monteverdi and ancient Greek modes in Orpheus (1947). Often Stravinsk-y alludes to more than one style, and always he remakes the material in bis own personal idiom. The Octet for Wind lnsrruments (l 92223), for example, combines Classic-era fonns with Baroque ftguration and Bach-like counterpoint. The major triads. scales. walking basses. canons. and other eighteenth-century features are mixed wilb modem dissonances. octatonic melod ies, meter cha nges, anel inrerru ptions, so that the music rarely sounds like Classic or Baroque music. lnstead. Stravinsky uses the styles he evokes as touchstones that transfor m his own signature style in fresh ways, so that every piecehas a uni que personality. And be avoids the routines of common-practice tonality: for example. in the Octet's sonata-form ftrst movcment. the tonal motion in the exposition is not from tonic to dominanl but down a semitone (El, to D), balanced by a complemenlary motion in the recapitulation (E lo El,, with the second theme recapitulateci before tbe ftrst). Stravinsk-y's neoclassicism and its continuitywith his earlier style are both evident in his Symphony of Psalms (1930) for mixed chorus and orchestra on psalms from the Latin Vulgate Bible. Stravinsky said he used Latinbecause the ritualistic language left him free to concentnte on its phonetic qualities. but its use also refers back to the long tradition of Latin texts in Western churcb music. Bai-oque features include almos t perpetuai mo tion, sequences, frequent ostinatos (also a Stravinsky trademark), and the fully deve.loped fugue of the second movement. Stravinsky avoids a Romantic orchestral sound and emphasizes wbat he called ao "objective" rather than emotional sound palette by omitling violins. violas. and clarinets. ln the 1irst movemem (NAWM 17:'), ex-cerpted in Examp le 33. l O, traditional elementsare rei nterpreted in newways, and Stravi nsky's personal idiom is much in evidence. At the opening in Example 33. lOa. the sense of meter is kept unstea dy by changing meters and unexpected rests.

Afier Schoenberg·s death in 1951 , the twelve-tone methods he ha<l pioneered were as much a part of past history as sonata form. They were also becoming popular with younger composers. who extended the principies to series in parameters other than pilch, such as rhythm (see chapter 37). Such music based on series was no longer simply 1welve-tone, anel it became known as serial music. a term that has also been appHed retrospectivelyto Schoenberg and his students. ln part to encompass yer another hranch of the classical tradil ion, and in part to keep up with the times. Stravinsky-already in his seventies-adapted serial techniques in his music from about 1953 on. His best-known serial works include the song cycle ln memoriam Dylan Thomas (1954), which uses a series of only five notes; Threni (1957- 58). for voices and orchestra on tcxts from the Lamentations of Jeremiah; and Movenients (1958-59), for piano and orchestra. Ali of them show his characteristic idiom of juxtaposed blocks. disrupted meter, anel his other signa tw·e lraits, although the pilch content is increasingly chromatic. Stravinsky's particular genius lay in ftnding styHstic markers, derived from Russian sources yet distinctly his own, that proved so recognizable and adaptable that he could assimila teor aJJude to any style while putting his personal stamp on the music. By drawing on everything from early music to the serial music ofhis time, he claimed the enthe tradition as his own .

Stravinsky popularized neoclassicism. setting an example that many others imitated. His serial music was less well known, but his supporL for serialism helped it gain a strong following arnong composers and academics. His willingness to change styles encouraged others to do lhe sarne. though few if any matched his ability to project a single pem·sonaHty in any s tyle he adop1ed . His writings were also important, i ncluding his Poetics of Music and a series of conversation books wi·itten with Robe1i Craf'l belween 1959 and l 972.

Two of the mosl signiftcanl. the Hunga.rian Béla Bartók and the American Charles lves, d id so in pa ri by payinga1te ntion to mus ical tradi tio ns anel qualities that had been ignored or d isclained. Béla Bartók (l 881-1945; see biograpby and Figw-e 33.9) created an incüvidual modernis Lidiom by synthesizing elements of Hungarian, Romania.n, Slovak, and Bulgarian peasant music w ith elem ents of t he Germa n anel French classical tradition. He arrived at this synthesis only after thorough grounding in both traditions and expostt1·e to severa} modern trends. Born in the Aus tro -Hungarian Empire and trained as a pianist, Bartók started composi ng ata young age , prog,·essing from s hort character pieces to longer wo rks modeled on lhe music of Bach. Mozart. Beethoven. Brahms, and Liszt. Encolmters with the tone poems of Richard Strauss in 1902. with Debussy's music over the íollowing decade, and with Schoenberg's and Stravinsk.-y's works in the 19 1Os and l 920s inspired Bartók to write music that cmulated anel ultimately absorbed their idioms. Bartók's search for an innately Hungarian music led him to collect and study peasant music. often in coll aboration with fellow composer Zoltán Kodály (1882- 1967) . Bartók published nearly two thousand Hungarian. Romanian, Slovak, Croatian, Serbian, and Bulgarian song and dance tunesonly a small part of the music he had collected in expeditions ranging over central Eu.rope, Turkey, and North Africa.

PEASAN T MUSIC AND M ODERN MUSIC ln his essay The lnf/uence o{ Peasant Music on Modem Music, Bartók argued that peasant music offered com · posers a way to create a truly modern music. whether by borrowing or imitating peasant melodies or. more abstractly, absorbing elements of peasant music into one 's own p ersonal style.
-

At the beginning of the twentieth century there was a turning point in the his tory of modem music. The excesses of the Romanticists began to be unbearable for many. There were composers who felt: "this road does not lead us anywhere; there is no other solution but a complete break with the nineteenth century." lnvaluable help was given to this change (or let us rather call it rejuvenation) by a kind of peas· ant music unknown till then . The right type of peasant music is most var· ied and perfect in its forms. lts expressive power is amazing. and at the sarne time it is devoid of all sentimentali ty and superfluous ornamen ts. lt is simple. sometimes primitive. but never silly. lt is the ideal starting poín t for a musical renaissance, and a composer in search of new ways cannot be led by a better mas ter. What is the best way for a composer to reap the full benefits of his studies in peasant music? lt is to assimilate the idiom of peasant music so completely that he is able to forget ali about it and use it as his musical mother tongue .... The question is, what are the ways in which
peasant music is taken over and becomes transmuted into modem music? We may, for ins tance, take over a peasan t melody unchanged or only slightly varied , write an accompaniment to it and possibly some opening and concluding phrases . . . . lt is of che greatest importance that the musica l qualities of the setting should be derived from the musical qualities of the melody. from such characteristics as are contained in it openly or covertly, so that melody and ali additions create the impression of com· plctc unity.... T he frequent use of fourth-in tervals ln our old melodies suggested to us the use of fourth chords. Here again what we heard in succession we tried to build up in a simultaneous chord. Another method by which peasant music becomes transmuted into modem music is the following: the composer does not make use of a real peasant melody but invents his own imitation of such melodies .... T here is yet a third way in which the influence of peasant music can be traced in a composer's work. Neither peasant melodies nor imitations of melodies can be found in his music. but it is pervaded by the atmosphere of peasant music. ln this case we may say. he has completely absorbed the idiom of peasant music which has become his musical mother tongue.

the new discipline of e lhnomusicology. and he edited co!leclions and wrole books and articles that estab lish ed him as t he lead ing scholar of this music . Ba1·tók argued that Hunga ,.ia n peasant music r eprese nted the nation better than the urban popular music that had long been identified as "Hungasian." This pnsit inn was pnl itir.ally r ad ir.a l ata time when H11 nga ,y was still ruir.ri hy an urban. German- speaking elite, but bis views eventuallyprevailed. Bartók felt that peasant music offered modem composers a fresh start, free from Romantic sentime ntality and bombas! (see Source Readi_ng). He
arranged many peasant nmes and created original wor ks baseei on them, and he im itated peasant melodies in som e of his themes. But most important, he drew a new vocabulary of rhythmic. melodie. and formal characteristics from peasant m usic and blendetl them with those of classical and modero m usic. Ba1i.ók nrst achieved a distinctive persona l style arou nd 1908, with com positions such as the Firsl Slring Quaslet and lhe one- acl opera Bluebeard's C<islle. coroposed in 191 1 and premiered in 1918. which combines Hungar ian folk elements wilh i nfluences from Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande. His Allegro barbara (19 11) and other piano works introduced a new approach to the piano. trcating it more as a pcrcussive ins trument than as a spinner of cantabile melodies and resonant accompaniments. His composilions from the decade after World War I show him pushing toward the limits of dissonance and tonal arnbii,'Uity. r eaching the fus thesl poinl wilh bis lwo Violin Sonatas of 1921 and 1922. Other works of this decade include the expr es sionist pantomime 'n1e Miraculou-s Mandarin. a nd the Third and F'ourth String Quartets. His ]a ter works . which seem in comparison more accessihle to a broad audience, have become the rnost widely known. including the Fifth and Si>ah Quarlets, Music for Strings, Percussion cuid Celesta (1936) , and the Concerto for Orchestra (1943). His Mikrokosmos (1926-39)-153 piano pieces in sb: books of gradeei difficulty- is a work of great pedagogical value that also summarizes Bartók's own style and presenis, in microcosm , the development of Eu ropea n music in the lirst t hird of the twentieth century.

BARTÓK'S SYNTHES IS ln synthesizing peasant with classica] music, Ba 1iók emphasized wha t the traditions have in common and. at the sarne time, what is most distinctive about each . ln bothtraditions, pieces 1ypically havea single pitchcenter, use diatonic and other scales. and feature melodies built from motives that are repeated and varied. Then, from the classical tr adition. Ba1iók retained its elaborate cont rapuntal and for mal procedures, such as fugue and sonata forro. From the peasant tradition. he clrew rbytbmic comp lexity anel irregular meters . common especially in Bulgarian m usic; modal scales and mixed modes: and specinc types of melodie structur e and ornamentation. By intensifyiog these distinclive qualities, Bartók wrote music that can bc simultaneously more complex in its counterpoint than Bach's and! more ornamented and rhythmically complex than his folie models. ln addition. Bartók's use of dissonance . his har mony, anel his !ove of symmell)' r esulL part.ly from mixing conce pts and materials taken from t he two traditions; for instance. his frequen t use of seconds and founhs in cbords derives both from their p r ominence in folie melodies and from the practice of his fellow modernists. His synthesis pre serves tb e integri1-y of botb traditious. He never usecl fo lk elements merely for color. nor did be compromise their individuality for smoothness, yet his musicalways r ema insgrounded in the classical traditi on .

Mttsi-e for Strings, Percussion and Cetesta offers a fuller illusu·ation of Bartók"s synthesis and severa l characteristics of his personal style. The combination of peasanl a.nd classical elements lo create a modernisLidiom is seen in his use of neotona li1y. Each of the fou r movements esrab l ishes a 1ona l center by me1hods analogous to the moda l melodi es of folk son g an d to the chorclal mot ion an d tonic-elominant polarities of classical music. while avoielingcommon- practice barmony.

The secon d move,rnent is in C, with a similar tritone pole on fã. lhose two tones being each a minar th.i.r<l on either side of A: lhe slow third movement (NAWM 179) has the opposite arrangement, centering on FM witb C as the co mpetiug po le. Some of the p rincipa l t.bemes of the fotn· movements and all of the fmal cadences clearly b ring out this tritone relationship, as shown in Example 33.11. ln addition. the cadences evoke standa rd procedm·es in tonal music, from counterpoinl in contra,y motion (Exa.mple 33.1 1b) to a mock domfoan t-tonic ca<len ce (Examp le 33.1 1d). There are also strong similarities to peasant music. Peasant melodies often rise from and return LO the wnal center, as in the fust movement theme (Example 33.1la); cen ter arou nd a to ne, as in t he second movement th eme (Example 33.11e); or descend lo the lona! center from its uppe.- octave. as in lhe fmale CExample 33.1 1O. Here the synthesis of the two traditions to create a modernist i<liom is rich in allusions to music in both tra<litions. The themes are create<l by varying small motives, a typical proceelure both in classical music. from Bach anel Hayeln to Schoenberg and St ravinsJ...--y. and in lhe peasanl music of ceotral and soulheastern Europe. Many Hungarian tunes use s hort ph rases a nd repeat mot ives with s light variations. like the AA'BB' pattern of the nrst - movement theme (Example 33. 1l a) . while Bulgarian dance tunes typica!Jy spin oul a r hythmic-melodic motive, as in the finale·s theme (Example 33.11f). The latter is diatonic. like many classica l themes. but clearly in the Lydian mode. which is use<l in some peasant songs. Hungarian songs can mix modes. an effect Banók borrows at the end of the second- moveme nt theme (Example 33. l lc), where lhe melodie rise and falJ suggests Lyel ian, then Phrygian . mo<les. The complex for ms and contrapuntal proceelures used by Ba11ók come s trictly from lhe classicaJ tradition.

BARTÓK AS MODERN IST Like his fellow moelernists, Bartók aspireel to create masterpieces like those of the classical masters he took as models, emulated their music, anel sought new methoels and materiais in order to dislinguish his music from lhat of other composers. The new elements he found were those of another tradition, the peasanl music of his anel other na1ions. Through his synthesis of both traditions, he created new works with a s trong personal identity and a rich connection to the music of the past.
Charles lves Charles lves (1874-1954: see biography and Figure 33.l l) , like Ba1iók. createel a personal moelernist idiom by synthesizing international and regional musical traelitions. lves was a iluent composer in four elistinct spheres: Ameri· can vernacular music, Protestant church music.

and Back (ca. 1908) for chamber ensemble is an almost perfect palLndrome, buildingup layers of dissonant ostinatos until at the climax units of two , three, J'1ve. seven. and eleven eq uai <li visions of the measure a1·e sounding simultaneously, then pl'oceeuing in retrograde. The choice of these unils was not arbitra1y; they represem the li ,·st live prime nurnbers- numbers not divisible by any other-so the attacks coincide only on the downl1eat of each measm·e. Over ali tbls, a bugle plays a l'anfare in C major. LLke many ofhis experiments, th ese pieces introduced unprecedented leveis oJ' dissonance and rhytbmic co mplex· ity. although they usually preserved the idea of a tonal center. Nonc of lves's experimental pieces was published or performed in public until long after they were written; they were essentially ways of t rying out ideas. and t hey made lves aware of new possi bilities that he could use in other , less systematic pieces for purposes of expression or representation. But one experimental work became one of Ives's best known pieces because his novel means fit the inspi red program so perfectly : '/1ie Un.answered Q1iestion ( 1908). Slowly moving strings in G major represent "the silences of the Oruids-who know, see and hear nothing,'' while over them a trnmpet poses "the peren· nial question or existence" and fou,· f!utes attempt ever more energetic and dh;.sonant answers until they give up in frustration . l eaving the question to sonnd once more. unanswerecl. The trumpet and f1ute parts are atonal. mak· ing lves one of the fust composers 10 use atonality (roughly contempora,y wir.h Schoenberg but inclependent of him) and the lirst to combine tona l and atonal layers in the sarne piece.
SYNTHESES
Cwntilative form
From 1902 on. Ives wrote only in classical geares. but he brought into his music the s tyles and sounds of lhe other lraditions he knew. Typically, he employed them to suggest extramusical rneanings. whether in a character piece or programmatic work . ln his Second Symphony.

AMER ICANISM IN MUS IC Dvorák had advlsed American composers to use African American or American lndian musicas sources for a distinctively national music, and many did so. Charles lves felt that for himself, as a white New Englander, a more appropriate source was the music regularly heard and sung by people in his own reg,on, lrom hymns to popular song. No matter what sources are used. he argued. the composer must understand the music from the inside and know what lt meant to the people who heard and performed it.

IVES'S PLACE Ives was isolated as a composer. Among his contemporaries, he was influenced by the music of Strauss, Debussy, and Scriahin, but he encoun tered that of Stravinsky only late in bis career. after arriving independently at similar methods, ancl that of Schoenberg and otl1er modernists only after he had ceased to compose. Nor did they know his music; except for some early ver11acula1· and church works. most of his pieces were performed and published on ly long after he had written them . Thus his rlirect influence was fe lt mostly after World War (l, when his departures from the conventi.onal were taken as an example by postwar composers. encouraging them to experimenl and provi rling models for !\Ome novel procedures. He could justinahly he ca ll erl the founder of the experimentaJ-music tradilion in the United States that includes, among others.

drew on bis own nation·s music to develop a distinctive idiom within the classic.al tradition. [n ali of these ways, his work has been of incalculable importance to younger generations of American musicians.
Composer and Audience 'l'he music of these six composers and of other modemists intensifted the split between popular and classical music that had emerged in the nineteenth cen lury. One secret of Haydn, Mozan, and Beethoven was their ahility to appeal bot.h to inexperienced listeners, who enjoyed the music's surface features on fu-sl hearing. and to well- trained connoisseurs, who could fully understand its intricacies. Modernism tipped the balance toward the latter, with music targetecl especially to those willingto study it, hear it r-epeatedly, and exp lore its rich structure and references to other music. Such works have become favorites of composers themselves, adventurous performers, academics, lheorists, and historians. The composers discussed in iliis cbapter have a central place in the canon of music, but on the whole they are more admired by critics. composers. and scholars than they are loved by audience membe1·s, who tentl to prefer their less radical contempoi-aries such as Strauss, Sihelius, and Rachmaninoff. Some of the canonic works of musical modernism still arouse disdain or incomprehension among certain performers and coacertgoers. who fmd them "too modem" even now, a centmy aftertheywere composed. On the other hancl, the dissonance, atonality, multiple layers, suclden juxtapositions. unpredictability. and startling stylistic contrasts that offended audiences generations ago are now familiar from repeated performances and recordings, and from their use in more recent music, especially music for ftlms. Bartók's Music for Strings. Percussion and Celesta turns up in The Shining, \Vebern's Five Pieces for Orchestra in The Exorcisl, and Ives's 17ie Unanswered Qt,estion in 11ie 77tiri Red Line. but a much longer list of .ólm scores use sounds and techniques pioneered by these six composers for their strong emotional effect. The music of all six composers cliscussed i11 this ch.aptcr has found a small but growing and apparently permanent niche in the repertoire. Al i are performed and recorded more and more. and interest in their music has tended lO increase with every passing decade.

BETWEEN THE WORLD WARS: JAZZ AND POPULAR MUSIC The periocl between Worlcl Wars I anel li saw a remarkable series oJ' changes in musical liJ'e and continued diversihcation in musical styles. The spread of phonographs, improved recording tech niques, and the new technologies of radio and sound hlms fostered a mass market for music in sound as well as in notation . Classica l concert music and opera remained the most prestigious musical traditions, but the va ri eties of popular music were better known and usually more lucrative. Especially prominent were trends from the United States, notabJy jazz. Muslic, always an accompaniment to "silent" movies, beca me an integral part of sound films, and com posers of opera, classical concert music, musicais, and popular songs all founcl a place in the movie inclustry.

American Mvsicail Theater and Popular Song
American Musical Theater and Popular Song The period between the two world wars. and especially lhe 1920s, was a ricb 1ime fo r American popular music. Music fo r stage shows of ali kinds enjoyed greal popularity: vaudeville troupes tou red tb e continent, and operettas, revues. and musicals atlracted large audiences. Popular son1,ts from Tin Pan Alley also proliferated (see chapler 30). The pcriod roughly l'rom 1920 Lo 1955- before the advent of rock and roll and tbe demise of 1he shee1 music industry-is known as the ·'Golden Age" ofTin Pan Alley. ln the 1920s. as in the previous two decades. popular song and music for theater were inextricably linked. ln large part, it was lhe auracciveness of the songs that clrove the populaxity of a musical anel its composer. Many of th e besl - known songs, made familiar inbit shows. were then sol d as sheet music, often with a picture of the performer who introduced the song on the cover. Yet the1·e were cbanges in the popular song industry. Sheet music of Tin Pan Alley songs st iJI ci rculated in American parlors. but pub lishers and songwriters increasingly counted oa recording-s to popularize thei r tunes, And with the arrival oi' sound 1echnology for 1üms in 1he late:: l 920s, the Hollywood musical was bom , creating anothe r imp orta nt ve nue for popular songwriters. The most successfu l songwrilers of this period-such as Irving Berlin (1888- 1989), Jerome Kern ( 1885-1945), Geo rge Gershwin (18981937). and Harold Arlen (1905- 1986)- were equa lly at home writing music for Tin Pan Alley, musical theater. and Hollywood musicais.
MUSICAL THEATER Vaudeville shows. loose collections of variety acts. were still ve1y popular. but tbe craze in larger cities such as New York was for revues, conceived as complete shows macle up primarily of musical munbers that often included rnany performers. The premier series of revues was the Ziegfeld Follies. assemhled each year by producer Florenz Ziegfeld. which included variety ente rtain ment, star performers, and 1roupes of beauliful fema le dancers. lmportant popular song composers such as Irving Berlin wrnte mus ic for these shows. Berlin's contributions to the 1919 Ziegfeld Follies includedA Pretty Cirl Is Like a Melody, which was sung by a bevy of scantily-clad women, each cos u1med as a particular piece of classi cal music. Severa! new operettas were successful in the l 920s. such as Sigmund Romherg's The Stu.dent Prince, but the geme was rapidly being replaced by the musical. Like ali forms ot' musical theater, musicais were complex collaborations, with different artists responsible for the musi c. lyrics (the texts set to music), book (the spoken words ofthe play), choreogrnphy. staging, sets, and costumes. Some musicais were primar:ily vehicles for star entertainers. featuring new popu lar songs that we re framed by a loose plot. a strncture reminiscent of the singer -centered and aria -focused Italiau opera of lhe midseventeenth lo early eighteenth centuries, Yet there was ao u1creasing interest in creati ng more in tegrated musica is, s hows in which the musical numbers

The score is operatic in scope, with interwoven reFerential themes and motives, much like thc operas of Richard Wagner (which Kern greatly admired). Based on a novel by Edna Ferber. Show Boat dealt with serious social issues. such as racism and miscegenation. and captured recent historie events, such as the 1893 Chicago \Vorld's Fair. lt was a Lremendous success. tou red the country after its Broadway ,,rn. and enjoyed numerous revivals, amongthem the 1946 New York production shown in Figure 34.2.
T IN PAN ALLEY: THE GOLDEN AGE
Irving Berlin
By the 191 Os, several types of Tin Pan AUey so ngs had solidined, includ ing waltz. ragtime. and novelty songs. Most Tin Pan Alley songs followed a standard form of one or more verses followed by a th irty-two-measure chorus in anMBA, ABAB, or ABAC pattem. The focus was increasingly on the chorus, where songwriters placed their catchiest rhythrns and melodie ideas. Many songwriters w01·kerl with lyricists as songwriting teams. although some composers, such as Irving Berlin. wrote both words and music for their songs. Irving Berlin's lengtl1y career and prodigious output position him as one of America's mos1 prolif,c and best-loved popular songwriters. \Viclely known for his sentimenta l and patriotic tunes that seem Lo caprn re the American

Many of his songs were written for revues , such as Face the Music and As 1'housands Cheer; movies. like Top Hat and Holiday fnn ; or musicais, such as Cal! Me Madani.

Porter wrote exclusively for thealer and Hollywood musicals. producing gems such as Night and Da.y from the theater produccion Gay Divorce, which later became a Hollywood musica l, Tlte Gay Divorcee. Nightand Do.y was popularized by dancer and singer Fred Astaire, who starred in many theater and lüm productions of Porter's musicais. Georp;e Gershwin, shown in rip;ure 34.3, was both a composer of George Gershwí.n jazz-influenced classical music (see chapter 35) anda writer of popular songs and musicais. Most of his best-known songs feature lyrics by his brother. Ira Gershwin. Like Lving Berlin, Gershwin got his s tart writing for revues. And like Kern and Poner, Gershwin moved increasingly toward integrated musicais thro ughout the l 920s. even ventt1ring into social salire with a few of his shows. Strike Up the Bond (1927) satfrized war and hig business. and OJThee 1Sing(1931), a spoof of lhe American presielemial elecüon process, was the first musical to win lhe Pulitzer Pri:te for drama. Gershwin's musica1s catapulted severa! new performers to fame: Lady. Be Cood! (1924) featured the singing and dancing brother-and-sister team of Fred and Adele Astaire, while Girl Crazy (1930) made s tars of Ethel Merman and Ginger R.ogers. ln Girl CraZ)', Ethel Merman sang the song J Got Rhyt.l11n (NA\VM 18 l ~".. aj ~ ) . which became an instant hit. Like most Tin Pan Alley and Broadway songs of the 1920s and 1930s, it has only one verse, shü'ting the main interest to the chorus. The chorus is in the typical AABA' fonn. Comparing Gershwin's chorus to that of Chad es K. Harris's After the Ball (see Example 30.5. p. 758) illustrates both continuity and change in popular song styles since lhe l 890s. Both choruses start with a catchy phrase, marked by a striking rhythm and beguiling melodie contour. and vary it throughout. balanced with enough contrast to keep the tu_ne engaging.

Both the style and the carefree altitude of / Got Rhyth,n are drawn in part from jazz. S0011 jazz rnusicians returned the complimenl. usiog the soog as a vehicle for jazz improvisation. The chorus's harmonic progressioo (injazi terminology, its "changes") was adopted for so many oew jazz tunes that this probrression itself carne to be known simply as "rhY1hm chaoges'' (see below and NA\'{'M 18 ,1 and 197).
The Jazz Age Revues. musicais, and Tin PanAlley songs continued traditions that had been imported from Europe or arose among Americans of .European descem. But African American music and musicians played an increasingly intluential role ia American musical life. and in the 1920s two related traditions of Afri can Americao origin gaioed wide cmrency: blues and jazz. Indeed, the 1920s became known as "Tbe Jazz Age." and jazz became the emJilematic music for that period when a new generation was cultivating a spirit of social liberat.ion.
BLUES One of the most influen tia l gemes of music to come out of early- rwentieth century America was the blues. The origin of the blues is obscure. likely stemmi ngfrom a c.omhinarion of rura l work songs and ot her African Americ.an oral traditions. The lyrics typically speak of disappointments. mistreatment. or other troubles lhat produce the state of mind known since lhe early nineteen th century as "thc blues." Yet the worcls also convey deóancc anel a will to

survive abandonment by a faithless lover, a lost job, oppression. or disaster. Ofien touches of humor suggest the knife-edge separation between sorrow and laughter. tragedy and comedy. Thc music expresses the feelings implied by the words through melodie contours, freely syncopated rhythms, and distinctive voca l or instru mental effects (such as a slide. rasp. or growl) tha l evoke lhe sound of a pe rson exp ressi ng pain, so rrow, or fn·ustration. Blues often feature flatted or bent (slightly lowered or sliding) notes, sometimes called blue notes . on the third. nith , and seventh scale degrees. which add to the emotional intcnsity. Besides expressing feelings, the blues allows perfoxmers io display their anistry, in a musical para ll e l to the defiance implied in the lyrics. Ultimately lhe blues are nol abou t having lhe blues. but aboul coriqt,ering tbem through a kind of catharsis embodied in the music. Two distinct b lues traditions can be beard in recordings beginning in lhe 1920s. now known as classic blues and della blues. Classic blues, an urban style influenced by the popular rnusic industry. was d1e h rst to be recorded, althoup;h dei la b lues , one of the rural traditio ns colJ ectively known as country blues, was rega rd ed as an older style that remained closer to the oral. traditions from which the blues developed. Classic blues was performed primari ly by African American women singers such as Ma Rainey (1886- 1939): Bessie Smith FIGURE 34.4, Bessie Smith. (1894-1937), shown in Figure 34.4; and Albe11a Hunter (1895- -empressoftlieBlu.es... in1/ie 1984) . Typically accompaniecl by a piano or small combo, these rnid-1920s, wltenshewasthenios1 women popularized lhe blues on black variety circuils. on min- successful anel prominent,Africon strel circuits. in clubs. and on rnany recordiogs.

Her success prompted record companies to begin marketing their products to black audiences, in the same way they were a lrea dy targeting other et hnic groups. selling Jrish records to lrish audiences and Yiddish records to Jewish audiences. Records targeted to blacks became known as " race records." The classic blucs siogers joined aspects of oral tradition with elemcn ts Twelve-bar blues of popular song, thanks in part to W. C. Handy (1873-1958). known as the "father of the blues." Handy did oot iovent the blues. but as a publisher. he introduced blues songs in sheet music form as eady as 1912, thus tak.ing advantage of both the genre's new popularity and the booming sheet music iodustq.

She enlivens each s1anza with unique timbres, phrasing, and melodie sensibility. The me lody shows typica l traits of the blues, with prominent blue notes on the thlrd and seventh degrees of the scale (E/ EJ, and B/81,) and a tendency to place stressed syllables just before rather than on the strong beats of the measure. The typical blues phrase ccmers around a relatively high note, usually 1he lifth elegree of the scale, repeats or decorates it, and then descends to the tonic. Ali three phrases in Example 34.2 follow this pattern but in different ways: the f1rs1 phrase CLuves aboveand below G before sinking to C; 1he second 1wice rises to C anel descenels; and the last hammers C and the B above it, descending on ly on the last three syllables. The vocal melody cade11ces in the third measure of each phrase, allowing a ca.l.l-and- response interchange between the voice and the piano accompaniment. played by Airican American composer anel pianist James P.

Blues s ingers gained nationa.l exposure through collectors s uch as Al an Lomax, who travcled to ru1·al parts of the south and recorded blues artists as they sang and accompanied themselves on guita1·. Delta blues recordings from the 1920s and l 930s reveal a wea lth of expressive <levices. The singing style is rough, rich in timbre and nuance. and ,·hylhmically flexible. and each section of a blues so ng l'ea1 ures a lte rnai io n between 1he voice and accompanyi ng guitar in the style of ca ll and response . Dw·ing lhe lissl half of lhe twentieth century, when ao tLDprecedented munber of Afri can Americans moveel from lhe rural south to no11beru urban cemers, many blues singers followed the same palh. Many of 1he della blues singers la nded in Chi cago, already a bu rgeon ing center of new record ing technology. which would g:reatly extend their in11uence on future performers. Legendary bluesman Roberl Johnson (l 91 1-1938), for example, recorded on ly twenty-uine songs in his bri.ef career, yet h is musica l legacy eKtended well into the l 960s. when British rock rnusicians rediscovered bis recordings. JAZZ IN THE 1920s
Jazz was already establisheel and growing in. popularity eluring the late 19 l Os (see chap[er 31) . The essence of 1920s jazz was syncopaled rhythm, combined with novel vocal and instrumenta l sounds and an u nbrid led spirit that seemed lo mock earlier social and musical proprielies. lmprovisation was an important element of jazz. but often melodies in the style of an improvisation were worked out in rehearsals, played from memory, or written elown and played from nota· tion. Jazz was very much a player·s a1i , so the rise of the recordfog indust:ry a.nd of radio played a key role in fostering its growth and dissemination. The leading style of jazz in lhe period jus[ after World War I is oow known as New Orlecms jazz. This style, named after the city where it originated, centers on group variation of a given tune. e ither improvised or in the sarne spontaneous style. The result is a coun terpoint of melodie Unes, alternaling with solos during which the rcst of the enscmble provides a rhythmic and ba n nonic background. Jt incorporates the African idiom of call and response. as well as the ecstatic outpourings of the Airican American Gospel 1radilion. The elevelopmen1 of the style in New Orleans was enhanced by the healthy riva hy between musically literate Creo les and musically untutored Airican America ns. who possessed great improvisational skill. Leading musicians, including cornetlist Joe "King" Oliver (1885- 1938), trumpe1er Lou is Armstrong (190 1- 1971 ). and pianjst Jel ly Roll Morto o (1890- 194 l). developed the style playingin cluhs in Storyville. the city's red -light district. ln the late 191 Os, many New Orleans jazz performers left the city when profcssional opportunilies elsewhere in lhe eounliy beckoneel, spreading the style to other regio ns. King Oliver moved north to Ch icago in 19 18 and fo nn ed his own band in 1920. ln 1922. Oliver invited Louis Asms lrnng, whom he had mentored in New OrleaM. to come nort h an <I joi n his hand. hy then name<I King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band.

WiLh these groups he cut severa! dozen recorclings for OKeh between 1925 and 1928. The recordings of these two bands embody the classic New Orleans style. 1 A.rmstrong's recording of Oliver's tune West End Blues (NAWM 183), recorded with bis Hot Five in Chicago in 1928, exempliÍlcs the conventions of the style and showcases A.rmstrong's emphasis on solo improvisation.

New Orleans jazz typically takes twelve -bar blues. a sixteen- measure strnin from ragtime. or a thirty-two -ba.r popular song form (usually AABA) as a s tarting point. A tune is presenteei at the beginning over a particular barmorüc progression, then that sarne progression repeats several times while various soloists orcombinations of instruments play over it.

The swing era
Although Armstrong's feats as a soloist inspired virluosity and expressivity in other jazz musicians, the main function of jazz was to accompany dancing. A fashion for larger banels began in the l 920s. propelled pa1tly by the avail ahility of larger performance spaces for jazz, including supper clubs, ballrooms, auditoriums, and theaters. African American banel leaders, such as Armstrong, Fletcher Henelerson (1898-1952). Duke Ellington ( 1899-197 4). and Count Basie (1904-1984), as well as white musicians like Paul \Vhiteman (1890 - 1%7) ~n<I RP.nny r.oodm~n (1909- 1986). org~niz&.<I hig hmuk Ry 1930, the typica l dance band was divided into three sections: brass, reeds, and rhythrn. Bmsses rn ight inc lude three trurnpets and two trombones; the reed section was made up of clarinets and saxophones; anel the rhythm section consistecl ofpiano, drurns. gt1itar (replacingthe banjo), and double bass. These sections interacted as units anel altemated with soloists, p,·oviding a great variety of sounds. Although solos might still be improvised. lhe piece was wrilten down by an arranger. who was some times the Jeader (as in tl-1e case of Ellington) bu1 more often a member of the bancl ora skilled orchestrator. Successful arrangers captured in notation lhe spontaneous spi.rit of improvised playing.

JAZZ IN EUROPE Jazz spread quickly in the 1920s throughout No1th America, Latin America, anel Europe. European musicians anel music lovers encounterecl American jazz through importecl recordings, sheet music. and travelingjazz ensembles. African American rnusician·solcLiers se,ving in Europe duriog World War 1, such as the band led by James Reese Europe (see chapter 31), had helped to introeluce the new style. By the l 920s. jazzgroups were formingin Europe, anel a European jazz tradition was well establisheel by lhe 1930s. Jazz also became a frequent topic in European literatureand a1is, as ill ustrated by Pigure 34.7. ln 1934.

DUKE ELLINGTON (1899-1974)
Edward Kennedy ("Duke") Ellington, the most important composer ofjazz to date, was an inAuential innovator who expaneled the boundaries in jazz and sought to break down barriers between it and art music. He admired the great jazz musicians. but his favorite composers were Debussy, Stravinsky, and Gershwin. Bom in Washington. D.C .. Ellington was the son of a White House butler. He studied piano, including ragtime, from the age of seven and received a good education in music and other subjects. Known for his regai bearing and sartorial splendor, he earned the nickname "Duke' by the time he entered high school. By the age of seven· teen. Ellington was playing throughout the Washington area with his own group. ln 1923. he moved to New York with his band the Washingtonians, playing at clubs on Broadway and at the Cotton Club in Harlem and making recordings. Ouring the 1930s and early 1940s, Ellin gton was the leading figure in jazz. and in !ater years he continued to play a prominent role. especially in efforts to have jazz recognized as a kind of art music. not merely as entertainment. He and his band made severa! international tours in che 1950s and 1960s, sponsored by the State Department and intended to create goocl will toward the United States. By the 1960s he was regarded as a national treasure. He won thirteen Grammy awards, was awa rded seven teen honorary degrees, was granted the Presiclential Medal of Honor in 1969, and in the early 1970s was na med

Mass Media and Popular Music Through the new technologies of recordings. radio. and sound on lilm, American popular music. jazz. and nlm music reached audiences th.roughout the Western wodd. Music could now be preserved and enjoycd ycar after year, for decades to come. As a result. much of this music mai ntained its popularity. and within a generation or two many of these pieces achieved the status of classics: widely known, hear d and reheanl, and highly valued. By the l 970s, ca n ons of classics had developed for popular song. blues. jazz. and lilm music. in parallel with the canon of classical music that had emerged in the nineteenth centw)'. The central core of those canons- parallel to Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven in the classical wodd- is in most cases forroed by composers and performers whose music was popu lar between the world wars, including Berlin. Kern, Gershwin. Porter. Bessie Smith. King Oliver. Armstrong. Ellington, Basie, Goodman, Steiner, Korngold , and Newman. Today. in addition to recordings and movies. live ensembles perform Tin Pan Alley songs. Broadway musicais. blues.

BETWEEN THE WORLD WARS : THE CLASSICAL TRADITION Music in the classical tradition continued to diversüy in style and concept between the world wars, as compose rs sought individual solutions to the common problem of fmding a place in lhe crowded classical repertoire. In ali nations and regions. music composition beca.me increasingly-or perhaps only more overtly- tied to political concerns a.nd ideolDbties.

for the ideal society. Charlemagne·s desire to unify his large empire led to the codification of Gregorian chant. Louis XIV asserted control through dance and opera. And Verdi's operas rallied supporl for Italian unification and freedom from foreign ru le. But in lhe nineteenth century. some writers claimed thal classica l music was an autonornous a rr 1hat transcended poli · tics and should be composed, performed , experienced, and admired for its own sake. separate from political or social con· cerns. The new ··science" ot' musicology that emerged during the níneteenth century reinforced ihis,1iew, focusing more on tJ1e styles and procedures of past rnus ic t.han on its socia l fone· tions. To some ex lent. lreating musíc on ils own terms was an admirable ideal. allowing many listeners to enjoy music for ils own sa ke andas a respite from the concerns of the day. But in other respecls, frorn its cultivatíon by tbe eco no mie and social elite to íts assocíation with nationalism, classical musíc never escaped polit ics. The period between the world wars brought new links between musíc and polít ics. ln democracies such as Britain, rrance , Germany under the Weimar Republic, and lhe United States, economic troubles and po'li tical conflicts led many composers lo believe that arl which set itself aparl from social needs was ín danger of becomí og irrelevanl to sociely at large. As the gap wi.dened between the unfamiliar sounds of modernist music and the ability of üsteners to understand it, composers tried to bring contempon-ary musíc closer to the general public by crafting widely accessible concen works or by writing music for fdms, theater, and dance. Convinced that music performed by amateurs and school b'I·oups was as importam as art music, some composers wrote works that were within the capabilities of amateu rs and rewa rding to perform. yet were modem in style. Many composers used musíc, especially musical theater, to engage current social, political, anel econorn ic issues. Natio11a lism continued as a strong force in most counlríes. exemplifred ín the musical styles of individual composers and in eff'orts to edit. publish. and perform music oi' the nation, iod ud_iog botb folk music and the written music of earlier times. Most governments sponsored musical activities directly. Public schools inereasingly included musíc ín the curriculum. Hungarian composer Zoltãn Kodá ly devised a method of teaching music to children through the use of folk songs. musical games, and graded exercises-a method rhat was eventually adopted by many schools across Europe and North America. Tbrougbout most of Europe. radio was cootrolled by the government and was a major employer of composers and perfonuers. During the New Deal in lhe United States, the federal government estab lished programs to employ

Th is last exarnple illust rates a point worth bear· iog in minei. Although musica l styles were often ide nti n ed with particular ideologies, these links we re contíngent on the unique political situation in each nation; the sarne style. even the sarne piece, coutei be seen as progressive or socíalist in one place a.n d conservative or fascistic in another.

Croups across the political spectrum sponsored concerts thal supported their points of view. ln theearly l 900s, the conserva tive nationalist LiE,ruecle la Patrie Française (League of the French Homeland) joined wilh Vincent d 'lndy aod his Schola Cantornm 10 present concerts anel lectures that showcased the Prench trad ition-pa11icu · larly composers from the Middle Ages to the 1789 Revolution and the classically oriented composers since Franck-as the embodiment of autbentic rrench culture based on religious principies and respect for authority. ln response. the government. then dominated by left - wing parties. promoted French composers since the Revolution, especially those like Berlioz anel Saint-Saens who. their advocates arguecl, freed Prench music from the bonds of tradition. ln this way, not only new musíc but the music of the pasl was politically contested.

The evocalions of pre-Romanlic styles, use of tradilional forms anel procedures, and prevailing dia tonic language all revea l the impact of neoclassicisrn. Milhauel produceel an immense quantity of music. i.ncluding piano pieces. chamher m usic, suites. sonatas, symphonies, nlm music. ballets, songs, cantatas , operas, anel music for child ren. His works are di verse in style and approach, ranging from the comic frivolity of the ballet Le boeufsur le toit (The Ox on the Roof, 1919) to the earnestness of the opera· oratorio Chri-stophe Colomb (J 928) anel lhe religious devotion of lhe Sacred Service (1947), whlcb reflects Milhaud's Jewish heritage. He was especially open to sounds and styles from lheA.mericas. where he travelecl often. During World War II. after France fell to the Cennans in 1940, he J1ed to the United States to escape Nazi persecution of Jews. He accepted a teaching position at Mills College in Oak· land, California. a nd continued to teach there until 1971. dividing his time between there and France after 1he war. Milhauel grew familiar with the popular music of Brazil d ul'ing a two -year stay there in 1917-18, and upon his return to Paris he incorporated Brazilian melodies anel rhythms in le boeufsur la toit a nd in the suite of dances Saudades do Brasil (Souvenirs ofBrazil, l 920-21 ), illus1rateel in Example 35.1. ln add.ition to the syncopated rhythms and cliatonic melodies of Brazi.lian dance, the latter uses polytonality. in which two lines of melody and planes of harmony. each in a distinct a nd d.ifferen l key, sound sim u.ltaneously- here, B majo r in the upper register over G major in the accompaniment. This proceclure wouJd beco me associated with Milhaucl, alt.hougb rnany used it before and since. Inspired by jazz he heard in Harlem dming a concert tour in the United States, Milhauel imitated the sounels anel styles of jazz in his ballel fo cré· ation du monde (The Creation of the \Vorld, 1923) . Saxophone, piano, and soloistic treatment of the instruments evoke the sound of jazz bands. In the ü rs t scene (NAWM 185), elemen ts of jazz such as blue notes, blues melodies, syncopations, riffs , and ensemble textures are stylized and synthesized with neoclassic and othe r modernist traits, including a fugue . polytonality. and polyrhythms. ln ali his music, Milhaud blended ingenui ty, freshness, and variety wilh the clarity anel logical form he had absorbed from neoclassicism. Yet his openness to foreign influe nces. from jazz to Schoenberg. was a far cry from the program of nati onalist classical purity favoreci by d'ln dy. Poulenc drew especially on Parisian popular song traditions from cabarets anel revues. This too vio latecl th e strir.tm·es of cl'ln<ly. who rejected influence from "lower" forras of music.

NEW OBJECTIVITY
Ernst Krenek
ln opposition to tlle emotional intensity of the late Romantics and the expressionism ofSchoenbergand Berg. a new trend emerged in the l 920s under the slogan Neue Sachlichkeit, meaning New Objectivity, New Realism, or "New Matter-of-Pactness." The ph rase was li rst used in art criticism and quickly adopted by musicians. As articulated by the compose1· Ernst Krenek (19001991) and others, lhe New Objeclivity opposed complexity and promoted the use of familiar elements. borrowing from popular music and jazz or from Cla ssical and Baroque procedures. ln their view, music sbould be objective in its expression. as in the Baroque concept of the affect ions (see chapter 13). rather than subjective or ex treme. The notion of musicas aULonomous was rejected . lnstead. it s hou ld be wide ly accessible. communi cate clearly, and draw connections to the events and concerns of the time. Krenek's fonny spieli auf (Johnny SLrikes Up lhe Band), premiered in Leipzigin 1927. was the embod im ent of th ese ideais. a11 opera set in the present time that used the interaction of a European composer and an African American jazz musician to examine dichotomies between contemplation and pl.easure and belween a seemingly exbausted and inward - looking Europcan tra dition anda new and e nergetic American one. The music drew on jazz and on a simp lified harmonic language. The opera was an immediate success, was produced on over seventy stages during the nex l thrce years. and established Krenek's reputation. But ahnost from the sta11 it was vor.iferously attacked by tbe Nazis as "degenerate" for its use of African American elements. Krenek !ater ado pted the twelve- tone method and ernigrated lo the United States after Nazi Germany absorbed his naliveAustria in 1938.

KURT WEILL Kurl Weill (1900- 1950). an opera composer in Bcrlin. was also an exponent of the New Objectivüy. Sympathetic to the political left, he sought to offer social comm ent,ny and ro entertain eve1ydaypeop le rather than the inte llectual elites. Weill collaborated wiLh the playwright Be rtolt Brechl 011 the allegori- Mahagonny caJ opera Aufstieg und Fali der Stadl Mahagonny (füse and fali of lhe City of Mahagonny, premiered 1930) . ln the opera, fogitives from justice bu ilcl a town declicated to pleasure, free of legal or moral taboos. but soon finei that they have created a heU rather Lhan a paradisc on earth. Weill's score incorporates elemems of popular music and jazz and makes witty references to a vari ety of styles. The pit orchestra includ es instruments typical of jazz ban dstwo saxophones, piano, banjo. and bass guitru:~ as well as winds and limpani. while three saxophones, zither. a bandoneon (a kind of accordion), strings. anel bnss play in the stage orchestra.

Brecht based tbe Ope ra libretto on The Beggar's Opera by John Gay (see chapter 21 and NAWM 109) . although Weill bonowed only one air írom Lhe score. The cas t included Lotte Lenya, shown in Figure 35.2, whom Weill had married in 1926; s he became his favo rile inter pre ter and after his eleatth a champion oJ' his work.

PAUL HINDEMITH

Mathis der Maler
Paul Hinelemilh (1895-1963) was among the most prolíftc composers of lhe century. At the Berlin School of Music (1 927- 37), Yale University (1940-53), and lhe Universicy ofZurich (]951 - 57), he laught two generacions of musicians. He thought of h imself primarily as a practicing musician, performing pcofessionally as violinisl. violist. anel conductor and able to play many olher insrru ments. The expedence of performance became central to his m usic, wh ether intendeel for amateurs or professionals. In lhe fragmenteel world of new music between the wars. Hindemith changed his approach severa! times. He began composing in a late Romantic style, lhen developed ao individual expressionist language in works like the one-act opera Morder. Hoffnungder Frauen (Murderer, Hope ofWomen, 1919), based on Oskar Kokoschka's play (see Figure 33.2). Soon hc adopted the aes thelic scance !ater dubbed tbe New Objeclivity, which in his music was exemplifted by an avo ida nce of Romantic expressivity anda focus on purely musical procedures, especially motivic development and a polyphony of inelependent lines. The seven works he tilled simply Kammermusik (Chamber Music, 192227) inc luded a piece for smaU orchest ra and six conce,-tos for so lo instrume nt and chamber orchestra, which encompasseel a variety of movement types from neo -Baroque ritornello forms to military marches and dances. All his music was neo tonal, establishing pitch cemers chrougb 1ecbniques from simple reiteration of a note to complex contrapuntal voice-leading. By the late 1920s. Hindemith was disturbed by the widening gulf between modern composers and an increasingly passive pu.blic. ln response, he began cornposi ng what was known as Gebra.u.c/1.smusih~ ..music for use," as distin guished from mus icfor irs own sake. Hisgoal was to create for youngoramaieur perlonners music that was high in quality, modern in style, and challengingyet rewarding to pe1form. An example is his m usical play for children, Wir bau.en ein~Stadt ~e Build a Town, 1930), in which children build a town of their own and govem it without adults. offering a lesson in civic virtues tluough singing anel playing music that is enten aining anel appropriate for young amateurs. After the Nazis came to power, they attacked Hindernith in the press and banneel much ofhis musicas ·'cultural Bolshevism." He began to examine the role of the artist in relation to politi cs and power. and from nis questioning emerged lhe opera M<tthis der Maler (Malhis the Painter, 1934- 35; prcmiered 1938 in Zurich) and Symphony Ma,this der Moter ( 1933-34), his best-known work, comprising th e overru re a nd other materi al for the opern composed wh.ile he was writing the li.bretto. The opera is baseei on the life of Mauhias Grünewa ld (Math i~ Neith arclt. r.a . 1470-1528). painter of the famou~ l~en h eim Alterpiece shown in Figure 35.3 .

From ano pen nfth, the harmony adds fourths and major seconds, with some para ll el-fourth motion leading to a cadence on a n fth-octave sonority.

The Naús· requil·ements for music were mostly expressed il1 negatives: music must not be dissonant, atonal, lwelve-tone, "chaotic," intellecrual , Jewish. jazz- iniluenced. or left - wing. which exclude<l most modernist music. Composers had to cooperai e wilh the regime in a rder to have 1heir music pe rformed, and mosr did. But many Gel'man composers continuecl to write in personal idioms inlluenced by Schoenberg.

His best- known work. Ca,min<i burana (1936) for chorns and orchestra, was an immediate success at its 1937 p remiere in Frankfurt, despite a hostile review in the Nazi Pal'ty paper. ln this piece. Orff sei medieval poems akin to goliar<l songs (see chapter 4) in an atrractive, deceptively simple neo-modal idiom. Drawing on Stravinsky, folk songs, chant, anel med ieva l secu lar song, he Cl'eated a monumental pseudo-antique style based on drones, ostinatos, harmonic stasis. and strophic repet ition. His Carmina bu.rana is distinctive yet immediately comprehensible and has been much imltaLed, especially by composers for film and television. Like Kodály, Orff also developed methods and materials for teaching music in schools. calling for movement. singing. and playing 011 percussion an<l other instrumenrs, Jeacling child ren in a natural way to experience a gl'eat val'i ety of scales and r hythms anel to arrive at a broadly based understanding of music.

The Americas ln ·the New Wodd, the interwar period saw the emergence of composers who gai ned prominence in their own countries and recognition in Eu rope, plac ing their homelands on the international stage for lhe firs t lime. As with composers in the "periphe ral" na1 io ns of Europe. these compose rs of the Americas found that creating a elistin.c tive national style was often the only way to gain attention from an inlernational audience. Their nationalism was sometimes infuseel with national politics but always linkeel to the cultural politics of securing for themselves and their coumr ies aniche in the per· forming repertoire.

Ca nada hael a thriving musical life that eleveloped along pat terns similar to those in the United States. ln both na1ions, performance of the European classical repertoire was l'ar more central than plating music oi' homegrown composers in the classicaJ traelition. Perfonning.spa:ces, concert societies, bands. professional chamber ensemhles, chorai societies, a nd conservatories ali emerged in Canada during the nineteenth cemu ry, and the 1wemieth cen tury brought the founeli ng of orchestras in most large cities, beginn ing with Quebec (1903) and Toronto (1906). A key f1gure in Canaclian music was Ernest MacMillan ( 1893-1973), who for many years was head of the Toronto conservatory and university music faculty as well as conducto r oi' the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. He collected and arranged music of na tive peoples. edited an anthology of Canaelian songs used in schools, conel ucted numerous premieres oi' wo1·ks by Canadian composers, and edited th e ft rst boo k on music in Ca nad a. He composeel many works that drew on national materiais, especially French Canadian folk songs. including Two Sketches for Strings ( 192 7). The nrst Canadian composer to achieve an international reputation was Claude Champagne (1891- 1965). He learned French- Canadian fidclle music and dance !unes in bis youth, then as a young man was deeply inlluenceel by Russian composers, from Musorgsky to Scriahin. During studies in Paris in 1921-28, he encounte reel Renaissance polyphony, Fauré, and Debussy, and saw in their modal practice links to the folk tunes of Canada. He devel oped a dislinctive nationalist s tyle in bis Stiite canadienne (Canadian Suite, 1927) for cborus and orchestra, ble nding elements from f'rench-Canaclian folk music and polyphonic French chansons with the symphonic tradition. His best- known piece, Dance villageoise (Village Dance, 1929), evokes both Prench-Canadfan anel lrish fo lk styles, acknowledging anolher ethnic strain in Canada and in his own heritage.
BRAZIL Art music was well established in Brazil by the late nineteenth century. with successfLú operas by Gomes (see chap ter 28) and o thers and with severa! co rnposers of con.ce11 music who developed their own nationalist styles.

The most imponant Brazilian composer was Heito1· Villa-Lobos (18871959). who drew together traditional Brazilian elements wilh modernist techniques. He spent the years 1923- 30 mostly in Paris. where performances of his music won wielespread praise anel estahlished him as the most p1·ominent Latin American composer. He returned to Brazil in 1930 anel , with gov· ernment support. insliluted a nationaJ effort to promote music in the schools and th rough cho rai singing. He was criticized l'o r his collabo ra lio n with Brazi l's nationalist dictatorship, aki n to the tota li ta1·ian regimes oi' Europe at the lime. bul it is not cleaJ· whether be shared its ideology. The series oi' fourteen pieces titled Chõros (l 920-28), after a type of popular ensemble mus ic Villa-Lohos playeel in the streets of Rio ele Janeiro in h.is youth, are among his most characteristic works. f'or various mecüa, from solo guitar or piano to orchestra with chorus. each Chóros blends one or more vernacular styles of Brazil, typified by synco pated rhythms and unusual timhres, with moclernist techniques sucb as ostinatos, polytona lity, polyrhythms, and vivicl orchestration to crea te a remarkably distinclive sounel. Another series. the nineBachi.ana.s brasileiras (1930-45), pays tribule 10 Bach anel thus to tbe neoclassical trenel of the times. Each is a suite of two to fom· movements combining elements of Baroque harmony. counterpoint, genres, anel styles with Brazilian folk elements and long, lyrical melodie lines. Th is unique blend is exempli ned in ViJla- Lobos's most famous work. Bachiana.s brasileiras No. S (1 938- 45) for solo soprano and orches tra of cellos. The fll'St movement (NAWM 190 ©!,e;.. ,..) ·~ ) invokes 1he spit'il of a Bach aria. spinning out a long-breatheel canta bile melody from a few initial motives, and alludes to lhe typical da ca po forro of Baroque arias through a modined ABA structu re anda suggestion of an instnnnenta l ritornello. At the sarne time. it draws on styles of imp rovisation in Brazilian popular song and on vocal embellishment in .l talian opera. a tradition that was as strong in BraziJ as in Europe. The result, simultaneouslyneoclassicaJ, national, and moelernist, exemplines how the Western musical tra • dition has become a transatlantic cultw·c.

trends
Composers and performers in the United States developed new links with Em·ope bctwecn lhe wars. duc in part to the immigration of many of Europe's leading composers for political or professional reasons. By the early 1940s. these included Rachmaninoff. Schoenberg. Stravinsky, Bartók. Milhaud. K.renek , Weill, and Hindemith. Americans had studietl in Germany since the mi<l-nineteenth century. but World Wa r I he lped to foster a reorientation of American music awayfrom Germany anel toward France. After the war. America.n concluctor Walter Damrosch joined with French orga11ist and composer Charles- Marie Widor and others to found the American Conservato1y at Fon • taLnebleau. whose purpose was to p rovi de the best of French musical training to American students . Starting in the ea rly l 920s, a steacly stTea m of A.meri cans went to France to study with Nadia Boulangcr (1887- 1979). renowned pedagogue and promoter of Faurê and Stravinsky, who taught classes in Paris and at Fo nta in ebleau until her death. Among those s tudying with her were Aa.-on Copland. Virgil Thomson, Roy Barris. Walter Piston. Ross Lee Finney. and Elliott Carter. The interwa1· period also saw new cu1·rents among American composers. Two of the most salient were an experimentalist or ultrwnodemisl trend, focused oo devclopingnew musical reso urces, anel anAmericanist trend that

incorporated national styles a nd sounds into European genres. The f'ormer group includ ed Edgarcl Varêse. Henry Cowell, and Ruth Crawford Seeger. and the lattcr encompasseel George Gershwin. Aaron Co pland, William Grant Still, Vírgil Thomson, Roy Hal'l'iS, Cowell's !ater works, and many others. Both currems asserted independence from Europe while sti ll drawing 0 11 th e European tradition. and ia the l 930s the lat ter group blended nationalism with a new populism inspired by the Depression a nel by Preside nt Roosevelt's New Deal pol icies. ln order to secu re performances for their music in a con· cert cultu re that focused on European masterworks, American composers formecl their own organizations. including the lnternational Composers· Guild cof'ouneled by Varése, the League or Composers headecl by Claire Reis, and Cowell 's New Mu.sic.
EDGARD VARÊSE The French-born Edgard Varese (1883- 1965). shown in Figure 35.7, studied at tbe Schola Ca ntorum and Conserva to ire. had a brief career in Paris and Berlin as a composer anel as a conductor of early and contemporary music, and then moved to New York i.n 1915. Va rêse ce lebrated bis adopted coun try in bis first major work, Amériques (19 18- 21). Its fragmentary melodies and loose structure betray links to Debussy. He was also influencecl by Schoenberg, notably in t.he use of strong dissonan ce and chromatic satu ration, and by Stravinsky. including the associalion of a musical idea with a specinc instrumental color, the avoidance of linear developmenl, and the juxtaposition of disparate elements through layering a nd in1ern1ption. Next carne a series of works that laid down a new agencia: OJJ'randes (1921), Spatial ntusic and Hyperprism (1922- 23), Oct.and.re (1923). Intégrales (1924-25). lontsation (per- sound rnasses cussio11 only, 1929-31), anel Ecuaiorial (1932-34). ln these works , he aimed to liberate comp ositíon fro m conventi onal me lody, harmony. meter. regular pulse. recurrent beat. and tra dit ional orches traüon. For Varese, sounds as s uch were the essential structural components of music. wh ich he defmed as "organized sound." and he considered all sounds accepmble as raw material. He imagined music as spati.<tl, akin to ao aural ballet in which what he called sourul 11wsses movecl through musica l space, changing and interacting. A sound mass is a body of sounds characterized by a particular timbre , register, rhythm, and melodie gesture, wbich may be stable or may gradu ally be transformed. ln Varese's compositions, these sou nd masses collide, intersect, speed up, :slow down, combine. split up . cliffuse. and expand and contract in range, volume, and tim bre. A great variet:)•of percussion instruments, some rli-awn from non -WesteTn cultures and others (such as the siren) from city life. play key ro le.s. ar.ting indr:pr:nde.ntly as erpials to thr: winrls anel strings.

pe1-formecl Am.e ri can composer iu classical genres. For Gershwin, this was no contradiction, because he saw no fi rm line between popuJar anel classical music. He always had a fool in both camps: he sludied classical piano as a teenager, including works of Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy; took priva te lessons in lrnrmony, counterpoint, form, an d orchestration from 1915 to 1921 ; anel later s tud ied composition with several teachers. including Cowell. Gershwin recognized the potential or jazz and blues to add new dimensions to a rt music, anel he used his fami liarity with those traditions to create a distinc tively American modemist style. Gershwiu's most fomous piece, Rhapsody in Blue (l 924). biJlecl as a "jazz conce rto," had its premiere as the centerpiece of an excravagam concerl organized by band leader Paul Wn iteman as '·An 8xperiment in Modem Music." Scored for solo piano ,tnd jazz ensemhle. anel incorporating stylizecl popular song for ros, blue notes, anel other elements oi' jazz anel blues, the Rhapsody met with immediate approva l. Along with Mi lhaud's La. création du. monde from the year before. Gershwin's Rhapsody pointed the way for other composers lo incorpora te jazz, blues, anel popu lar music into their art music, s ugp;estinp; that such a blend could produce music that was al once truly modem, tru.ly American, and broadly appealing. Gershwin himself contin ued to fuse the seemimgly disp arate tradi tions, p roducing compositions like the Piano Concer to in r (1925), the seco nd movement of which is co n structed over a twelve-ha r blues h armonic pattern stretchecl to fita sixteen- meas ure theme. and the three Preludes fo r Piano (1926), which bring elements of blues, jazz, and Lalin d an ce rhythms into preludes i nflu en ced by Chopin anel De bussy.

The music is conlinuou s and reatures recurring moüves like those in Ver di or Wagn er operas. Yet in part beca use the cha racters are all African American. the musical style is heavily iníluenced by African American idi oms such as spirit uals, blues, and jazz. This blending of traditions is p ar t of Gers hwinºs appeal. anel it ma kes hi s music especially r ic h in reference and in meaning. Because of his early death from a brain tumor. his ou tpu t oi' classical works was relatively small, but he remains the most familiar American com poser of the centu ry.

Copland's Jewish fai th, his homosexuality, anel his leftist politics made him somet hing of an outsider. yet he became the most important and central American composer of bis genera tio n through his own compositi ons and his work for the cause of American music.

POSTWAR CROSSCURRENTS The central theme of Western music history since the miel·nineteenth century is a growing pluralism. With each genera tion, new popu · lar trael itions emerged. in response to changes in society, and the heirs to the classical traclition created more el iverse styles of art music at an ever increasing rate. This process accelerated in the twenty·five yea r s after the end of Worlel War II, propelled by an economic boom in the United States and most of western Europe, by ever more rapid communications, anel by a desire amongyounger generations to explore new possibilities. Musicians eleveloped new styles, trends, a nd traditions, inclueling styles of jazz that demaneled more concentrated listening. from bcbop to f rc,1jnzz; types of popular music aimed principally at young people, such as rock a11d roll and its offshoots. or at particular communities, from country 11msic to salsa; musicais that aimed for greater elra · matic depth, integrateel dance and music more closely with the plot, anel incorporated styles from jazz. rock, a nd other traditions; ftlm music that drew on a wider diversity of sounds anel styles; anel music for banel anel wi11d e11semble intendeel to match the elepth, serious· ness, anel pennanence of the orchestraJ repertoire. ln varying ways, some musicians in each of these tradit ions sought to gain for their own music the respect long accorded to art music. All of these styles will be explo reel in th is chapte r, focusing on 1.h e United States. where most of these trends began. ln the next chapter. we will consider new trends in classical music on both sieles of the Atlantic during this era, and how they reflected the new sense of postwar pluralism.

Many of these musicians pioneered new jazz styles in the l 950s, seeking paths for individual expressio n by extending t he methods an d ideas of bebop. Miles Davis was behi.nd a series of innovations. beginning with his album Birth of r.he Coo!

A con tr asting style was hard bop. dominated by drummers such as Kenny Cla1·ke. Max Roach, anel Art Blakey {19] 9- 1990). which focused on the percus· sive and propulsive side of jazz. InKi,11-dofBlu.e (1959), Miles Davis exploredyet another new style known as modal jazz. wh ich featured slowly unfolding melodies over stable. rela lively stalic moela] harrnonies. Davis also collaborated with pianist Gil Evans (1912- 1988) on a series of albums 1ha1 incorporaled elements of Spanish and classical music, including adaptalions of classical works by Spanisb composers on Sketches ofSpain (1959-60) and Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall (1961). Cool jazz, hard bop, and modal jazz were ali at tempts to tem per the extremes of bop. t hrough mellowness, the use of e lernen ts from rhyth m an d blues, or more freedom for melodie anel harmonic improvisation. Th e n ew jazz styles frorn bebop on, collectively known as modero jazz, have been cornpared by some historians lo the multiplicity of modern styles in twentieth- century clas sical music, anel they derive from a similar source: a desire to say something new in a distinctive style tbat remained rooted in the tradition. ln the l 960s, alto saxophonist Orne lte Colcman (b. 1930) and his en · sem ble introduced a more radically n ew jazz language known as freejct,z z, named after their landmark album Free Jazz (1960). which contained a single thirty-seven-minute- long group i mprovisation. This experimental style moved away from jazz standards and familiar tunes. turning instead to a lan guage built of melod ie and harmonic gestur es, innovative sounds, atonality, and free for ms using impr ovisatio n that was carried on outside the st ri c ttu·es and slrnctur es of standard jazz forms.

While some jazz per·fonners were pursu ing new alternatives. others maintained older styles, reviving ragtime anel New Orleans jazz or contiuuingto play swing. ln a striking parallel to the rise of lhe classical concert reperloire over a century earlier, by 1970 the jazz wol'ld had developed its own roster of classics that were treasured on recordings and kept alive in performance. A sense of his101·y was inculcated by written histories and recorded historical anthologies of jazz. At the sarne time.

Jazz critics and historians began to describe jazz as .a ldnd of classicaJ music. Jazz ensembles were formed at many schools, colleges. and universities beginning in the 1950s and 1960s. and jazz history became parL of the curriculum. Now res pected as an ut music, jazz nonetheless retained some of the aura of the rebellious popular music it had been half a century before. \Ve have seen in bebop, free jazz, and avant-garde jazz examples of the themes mentioned ai the beginning of this chaptei-: a growing ambition for the music itseH, reflected in heightened demands on both players and list eners: a focus on listening with concentration to the music for its own sake rather than uslng it for dancing or background music; experimcnting with new techniques. sou nds. and textures: and borrowing styles from other traditions. As we will see. these sarne themes are also apparent in popular m L1sic of the time.
DOUBL~·~:·, QUARTE ~~~
Popular Music ln the interwar years, popuJar music in the United States had been closely allied to jazz and to Broadway musicais. But after th.e war, musicians took popular music in severaJ separa te directions.
Economic growth in the postwar yea1·s gave young people greater leisu re time and more disposable income. For the frrst time. teenagers became signilicant for the marketing induslly, and clothing. cosmetics, magazines, movies, and entenainment were designed for and ma rketed to them. lncreasingly, youngpeop le had their own radios and record players, and they listened to and bought recordings of music that rel1ected their own tastes. Record companies responded by market ing specil'tc kinds of music to 1he Leen and young adu lt market that became known as pop mnsic. Some types of music, like rock and roll, united most teenagers in lhe late l 950s and early 1960s, creating a "generation gap" between them and older genera lions. But as popula1· music continued to split into n.i.che markets, people of ali ages found thal the music they listened to marked their identity as strongly as the clothes they wore and the ways they behaved. Each type of music had ils own stars. fans. and radio programs, and the popularity of songs in each catego1y was tracked on cl,arts, weekly rankings by sales of 45- rpm singles. The va rieties of popu lar music surveyed here. from country music lo rock to salsa, are sometimes refe rred lo as genres of music; lo avoid confusion with lhe use of that word for a type or composition, such as a symphony o r ballad, we wiJl refer to them as traditions or styles of music.

COUNTRY MUSIC One tradition. associated primarily with white so uthemers. was co,wlry 11111sic (also caJled cor.mt,y-and -westem). a type of popular music with folk-
music roots that began between the wars, sprcad r.hrough radio shows and recordings, anel grew in popularity after World War li. As suggested by the painting in Fib'Ure 36.4. country music was a blend of many sources: the hillcount1y music of the southeast, based on traditional Anglo -American ballads anel fiddle tunes; western cowboy songs and styles popu larized by Gene Autry and other movie cowboys: popular songs of the nineteemh and early twentieLh centlu-ies; blues, banjo mus ic, and otl1er African American traditions; big- band swing; and gospel songs. Such a combinalion of traditions across sociaJ and ethnic lines is typicalJy American. Counuy music was valued for its energy. its sincere sentiments. its witty wordplay (part of its herilage from Tin Pa.o Alley), and its ability to articu late the experience of rural and working-c lass Americans in a rapidly changing world. Most countiy songs told stories. often first -person nanatives of heartbreak, hard Limes, or nostalgia for home, that were especially appealing to people from ruraJ backgrounds who were now in urban areas. Country music established itself as a kind of popular music in the l 920s and l 930s. the period when the United States population shifted from main]y rura l to primarily urban. and grew steadily in popularity as the move lo cities and suburbs intensifr.ed a fter World War I L The distinctive characteristics of cou ntry music in clude markers ofrural speech, from word eh o ice to a southern twang. and signals of sadness and nos talgia. frorn breaks in lhe voice to hencling notes on th e steel guita r th at have been compa1·ecl to sohs.

electric guitars and cleveloped a new style known as elec1ric blues. Chicago was an important center for the development of electric blues, personined by the music of Muddy Waters (Mcl<inley Morganó.eld, 1915- 1983). Ln 1949, Jerry Wexler, a reporter for Lhe i-ecord induslry journal Bitlboard, coin ed the term "l'hythm and blues" to replace "race music" as the name for the magaúne's weekly chart of music markeled chiefly lo African Americans. Soon rhytl11n aud blues (or R&B) was beingused as lhe name ora new sound that cleveloped in urban areas in the years just after Worlcl War JJ. Rhythmand-blues groups typically i.ncluded a vocalist or vocal quartet. a piano or organ. saxophone or cleclric guilar, bass, anel drums. anel they performed mostly new songs buill on rwelve-bar blues or lhlrty-rwo-bar popular song formu las. ln the l 950s, electric guitar and e lectric bass beca me increasingly common, i;'radually clisplacing lhe saxophone and acouslic bass. Rhythm and blues is dislinguished l'rom n·adilional blues by insistent rhythm, wirh emphasis on the second anel fourth beats-called the ba.ck bea.ts-in : meter; wbining electric h'ttitar: anel a repetilive amplif1ed bass line. Al hrst inlended for an African American aud ience. rhythm and blues reacheel white teenagers Lhrough radio a ncl recordings. The leens were attracted to the sexual themes of the lyri cs, th e strong rhythms, and the intcnsity of the performa nces. Recognizing an opportunity. recorei compa· nies produced covers, recordings by while singers of songs already popular in performances by black singe rs. Por example, Hound Dog, a twelve·ba r blues by the white SO%'Writing duo Je rry Lei.ber and Mike Sloller. was a hit for black blues-singer Willie Mae "Big Mama'' Thornton (J 926-1984) in 1952, but solei millions more copies in the 1956 recording by Elvis Presley (1935-1977). ln a time when African Americans were struggling for equal rights. the popularity of a black urban stylc of music among white tcenagers was a force for change. Alan Preed, a popular radio disc jockey in Cleveland, is credited with coin · ing rock a11d roll as a name for a new style that blended black and white traditions of popular music. Rock and roll combined the driving beal of rhythm anel blues with thc milder guitar background of countiy music and drew on numerous elements in both t.raditions, from rhythm to tjmbre. The instrumentation consisted of amplined or electric guitars for both rhythm and melody, hacked by eleclric bass and drums and somelimes augmenled by other inst ruments. Song forms drew on Tin Pan Alley as we ll as blues, anel rhythms and vocal styles encompassed eve1ything from boogie-woogie to country lwangs andgospel shouts. The words, most ofren concerned with !ove or sex, were often delivered in a raucous, sometim es wailing voice. although there were also gentle romantic ballads su1\g in a deliberately subdued tone. Both the words and the varied styles spoke directly to leens' experiences, cre· ati.ng a close idcntif1cation betweell lhe lisleners and lheir music.

"Beatlemania," already taking hold in the United Ki ngdom in 1963, reached America in F'ebrua1r 1964· when the Beatles. shown in Figure 36.5. began a tour of lhe United States. Aiter a few yea rs of touring, the Beatles began devoling 1heir energy to studio recordings, experimenti.ogwi lh novel instrumental combinations and tech niques of sou nd manipulation that were i mpossible to produce in a live setling. The resulti ng albums, especia lly Sgt. Pepper·s Lonely Hearts Cltib Ba11d (1967), embraced a wide variecy of musical styles, from British rousic hall songs to l ndian sitar music, in songs whose leve l ofin terest to connoisseu rs began to rival that of classical music.

Music and lyrics often expressed opposition to the prevailing political culture o r social expectations. By the late l 960s, rock music was a·imed not just at teenagers but at lis teners in their twenties and thirties, who had been teenagers in the l 950s and had stayed with rock as it grew up with them. Although some rock could s till he da.oced to , most rock music, like hebop or ocher modem jazz, was intended and used prima r ily for attentive listening rather t.han for dancing; fans lypically bo ught the latest album. took it home. and listened lo it re peatedly, like art music. Concens, howeve1·, were raucous affairs, with high leveis of amp litication an d audience response, an d none or t he sit-quietly decorum of classical concerts. l n lhe postwar decades, rising interest inAmerican folk songs led lo a new kind of popular music that drew on folk lraclilions. Groups like the Weavers and Peter, Paul, and Ma1r performed genuine folk songs alongside n ew songs in similar styles. Although the latter by defmition were popular songs (newly composed by k.oown authors anel sold tluo ugh shee1 music and recordings) rather tha n fo lk songs (which have un known origins an d are passed down orally). the whole tradition became k.oown as folk11m sic. ln opposition to the increasing sophistication and professionalism of most other popular music, folk rousic was deliberately simple, featuring one or more si.ogers with guicar or banjo accompaniment, anel often t he audience was encouragecl to join in the singing. Llke rock and roll, folk music was an importanl musical voice for express ing identity a.od ideology. Since the .oinetee.otb century. singer- so.ogwriters bad adapted folk. popular. and hymn tunes to política! ends by writing new texts in support oflabor u nions a nd other sociaJ causes. Many such songs were created for lhe Civil füghts movement, including the moveme.ot's anthem We Shall Overcome, aclapted from a hymn . ln t he l 940s anel 1950s, Woody Guthrie (1912- 1967) and PeteSeeger (b. 1919), stepson ofRuth Crawford Seeger, were especially prominent as singers and songwri ters of folk and protest songs. ln t he 19/í0s. the !.truggles for civil righ ts and agai nst the Vietnam War galvanized younger musicians such as Joan Baez (b. 1941) and Bob Dylan (b. 1941) who voiced the protests of their generation in their songs.

Broadway and Film Music Broadway musicals after \Vorld War II screngthened the emphasis on integrated musicals tha1 began with Show Boai, in which ali aspects oi' the production support the plot. As in the past, most Broadway shows were collaborations, anel the greal songwriting tcams produced hit tunes well into the l 960s. Composer Richard Rodp;ers (1902-1979) initially coUaborated with lyricist Lorenz Hart (1895-1943) and !ater with Oscar Hammerstein li (1895- 1960). and Frederick Loewe (1904- 1988) wrote music for the books and lyrics of Alan Jay Lerner (19 18-1986). Irving Berlin was still active, producing classics suc h asAnnie Cet Your Cun (1 946) anel CaU Me Mado.m (1950), and Cole Porler had one of his biggest hits with Kiss Me. Kate 0948). based on Shakespeare's The Tamingofthe Shrew. Successful musicais tendeel to ônd their way to Hollywood ó.Jms within a few years anel were also quickly disseminated to the public through recordings anel productions by touring, amateur, and. in !ater years. high school theater groups. Rodgers and Ham.rnerstein produced some of Broadway's best-loved s hows, including OklC1homa! (1943), CC1rousel (1945), South PC1cifi.c (1949), The Kingand I (1951) . and The Sound of Music (1959). Their nrst collaboration, Oklahoma!, nol only enjoyed a record- breaking run of over two thousancl performances but a l.so marked a pivotal moment in the developmeut of the integrated musical. Set in the Oklahoma terrirory arou.nd 1900. the story is richly textured, ftlled with both elramatic and comeelic subplots. The cbaracters are developccl not only through dialogue but also through song. Dance, choreographed by famed dancer Agnes de Mille, also played a crucial dramatic role. The story's emphasis on American folk histo1y anel the simple pleasu res of rural life appealed grea tly to Americans during war lime and the early postwar years. Rodgers and Hammerstein also exp lored innovative themes of racial prejudice and encounters between Polynesia or Asia and the West in several shows tha t use eleme ms of non -Western music to evoke a sense of place: Sout.h Pacifi.c, set on a Pacil1c islancl duri ng Worlcl War 11; The Kingand /. about an English governess in Siam (modern-day Thailand); and Flower Drum Song (1958), a sto1y of Chinese immigrants and Asian -Americans in San Francisco's Chinatown, which also featurecl a song in rock style lo clepicl a young. thoroughly assimilated son of an immigrant.

That sarne year. bis Broadway musical On the Town opened for a run of 463 performances. ln addition LO his career as a conductor and composer of symphonies and voca l music, Bernstein enjoyed enormous success with his musical West Side Story (1957). with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930), book by Arthur Lau1·ents, and choreography by Jerome R.o bbi ns. Set in gang-ridcle n New York City of the I 950s, !11/est Side Story is a retelling of Shakespeare's Romeo an,l}1,liet. suhstituting rival gangs for the warring families of the original. The set ting provided Be ms1 ein with rich op portu nities for including a variety of musical styles, iocluding Afro-Caribbean dance styles, jazz, and soaring melodies in Tin Pan Aliey AABA formulas. "Coo!" fromAct l of West SideStory (l\AWM 1?8) exemplines his approach. West Side Story mixing traditions and s1yles io a rder to convey the pem- up energy of one of 1 Fui! i\\ 1 the gangs before a hght. Figure 36. 7 shows Je rome Robbins rehearsi ng the dancers in this scene. where Lhe Jets are trying to "cool" down before meeting with their rivais, the Sharks. ln "Coo!," modem styles of jazz symholize the urban American setting anel the youthfu l vigor of the characters, alternatiog between coo! jazz. as Lhe Jets attempt to calm their nerves, and the tense energy of bebop. These styles mix with elements of modernist classical music embodiecl in a fugue on a twelve - tone theme, representing for Bernstein lhe co nfusion and an xiety of modem life (through atona lity) a nd the hlending of old and new and ofhighand lowtypical of America (modern sounds in a neo classicaJ fugue in Lhe midclle oi' a jazz song in a Broadw.ay show). Th e music of l!Vest Side Story shows how much Bernstein was under the sway of the integrated musical of Rodgers and Hammerstein. a geore Berns tein described at the time as the tn1e America n form of opera. West SideStorl is typical of rus compositions io bl urring genrcs- musical comedy. tragecly, and opera-anel juxtaposing highly contrasting styles for a meaningful purpose. His bleud of jazz and classical elements resonates both with ea rl ier s uch comhinations. like Milhaud's La création d1, monde and Gershwin's Rhapsodl in BLue. and with the tendency of modem jazz musicians like Duke EIJington and Miles Davis to draw on classical music and to conceive of themselves as artists rathe r than entertaiuers.
Film music also diversift.ed in the postwar em, as composers chose styles and souncls ihat were appropriate to the subjec1 and mood. Miklós Rózsa (J 9071995) developed severa] differe nt styles, from an angular. contra pu nta], yet tonal modernism that helped to define the mban crime drama genre known asfilrn noi,- to a mock-ancient style for histoi-ical e pies such as Ben H11r (1959). The score to A Sr:reeicar Na.rned Desire (l ?51) by Alex North (l 910-199 1) popu· larized lhe use of jazz to represenl urhan set Lings. sexual situations. and social ills from alcoholism to crime. Leonard Bemstein used a dissonant modernisl style in bis score for On the Water{ront (195 4) , and otbers adopted atonal anel serial music where their tense emotional qual ities were appropriate. Bernard Herrmann (1911 - 1975). whose dissooant tonal lan!,>Uage drew on lves, Berg. Hindemith, anel other modernists, became famous for his scores to Orson We ll es's Citizen Kane (1941) and Alfred Hiuchcock's Vertigo (1958), North by Northwest (1959), and Psycho (1960). Westems often J'eatured music in tbe diatonic Americanist style championed by Copland in his ballets and fLlm scores, but the lta lian composer Enn io Morri cone (b. 1928) created a new, pop-i nfluenced style for his Western scores. including The Good. the Bad and t,he Ugly (1967). National and elhnic lraditions helped to establish place and atmosphere, l'rom Mikis Theodorakis's score for Zorbci the Greek (l 964) to the blend of traditionaJ and Western elements in the füm music of lndia. China, and Japan. Electronic music was used frequently for psychologically upsetting events, the strange or supernatural , and space aliens. Popular music con tinued to be a strong element in postwar nlm. ln bis jazz-influenced score to Laura (1944), David Raksin (1912- 2004) introduced a therne song that was woven throughout the l'ilrn and became a hit song in its own right.

Works for winds
repertoire of serious works for winds, especially in North America. This change in focus resu.lted from the co nverge nce of several factors . Over thc previous century, the wind band had grown in po pularity to become one of the fix tures of American life. There were amateu1· bands in most towns of any size, along with severa! professio na l ba nds . The most famous b,todmaster after Sousa was Edwin Franko Goldman (1878- 1956). He and hisson, Richard Fra nko Goldman (19 10-1980), conlinued lhe tradil ion of outdoor band concerts through the nationa lly broadcast Goldman Band summer series from New York's Central Park. Bands were especially impo rtant in tbe schools; virtually every high school and college had one, and by the l 960s there were ftfty thousancl wind bands in schools.across the country. The American BandmastersAssociation (fou nded 1930) and Coll ege Band Directors NationalAssociation (CBDNA. founded 1942) promotecl bands and hand music, incl ueling professional training for coneluctors and s tandardization oi' ensembles. Most important, they promoted the co ncept ofthe co11.cert bane/ (o,- symphonic band) as a vehicle for serious concert music. ln purpose. role, pel'Íonning context, and repertoire, a concert band is more like an orcheslra lhan like the marching banels oi' holielay µarades anel l'oothall games. Goldman, the CBDNA. and various conductors were eager to broaden the repertoire for winds. building on the foundation laid by Holst. Seh.mitt. Grainger, and Vaughan Williams early in the century (see chapter 32) lo create a body of works pa railei in weight and seriousness to music for orchestra . They embarked on ambitious programs to commission works for concert band. Major compose rs contributed pieces for the meelium, including Schoenberg's Thenie and ~iria1io11s, Op. 43a (1943), Milhaud's Suile Française (1944), and Hinclemith's Symphony in 131, (1951). Then in 1952. Frederick Fennell (1914-2005) founded the Eastman \Vind Ensemhle at the Eas tman School of Music in Rochester, New York. The wiml ewsemble was a group ded icated solely to sel'ious music, rather than the mix of marches and other fare typically played by bands. Band pieces were traclitiona.lly scored for multiple players on each instrumenta.! part anel with each musical line in more than one instrument so that suhslitutions couJel be made to suit the availahle players. But the wind ensemhle was different: each instrumental part became essentiaJ and all or most were played hy soloists, as in a Jarge chamher ensemhle. Wind ensemhJes quick.ly spread to oLher schools, and there are now severa! professional wind ensem bles such as the Detroit Winds. The notion of specinc rather than variahle insmrmentation iníluenced banel scoring as well. The presence oi' serious conce1i ensembles. well- funcled commissions. and the prospect of enjoying widespread performances and earning contin uing income from the ir music attracted ma ny compose rs to wri te for winds. particularly ai a time when orchestras werc playing l'ew works hy living composers. Many composers who worked in a variety of med ia achieved their most frequent performa nces and most enclu ring success wit.h music for winds. such as Vincent Persiche tli (1915- 1987: Divertimento. 1950. and Symp hony for Band. l 9S6) anel Will iam Sr.human (19 10-1992: Geo,ee 111/a~hington Bridge) . or have written one or more pieces that are now part of the permanent repertoire of serious classical music for winds. inclucling Copland's Em blems (l 964).

But there was a downside as well. Despite the trcmendous growth in quantity and quality of the repe1'!0ire, wind music still lacks the status of music for strings or orchestra, dueto its longstanding associatio ns with marches. entertainment music. and amateur performers. For example, although Husa's Musicfor Prag1ie 1968 has received over eight thousand perfor mances, more than any other Husa work aod more than the great majorily of twentieth-century classica.l compositions.

music, Broadway, anel concert band music made increasing demands on performers, making a virtue of virtuosity. and on listeners, requiring the sarne focused attention expccted of listcners to classical music. We have seen jazz artists, rock musicians, and band composers experirnenting with new techniques, and have encountered musicians in ali ofthese traditions who borrow or evoke other styles. from the use of classical and avant -garde elements in modero jazz, to Lhe inco rporation or As ian inst ruments anel sounels in rock music, to the assim il ation ofjazz, classica l, rock, and non-Western traclitions in Broadway musicals. Tbe eclecticism of the music of th.is time is in part a reflection of the people hearing il, most ofwhom listeneel to anel loved more than one type or music. We will see these sarne themes played out in the classical arena, discussed in tbe next chapter. ln lhe years sioce 1970, popular music has grown ever more central to musical life. The teenagers who listened to Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, or Aretha F'ranklin grew up but helcl onto the music they loved. There are now classics in pop music as surely as in classical music- nurtured and introduced to new generations by lhe "golden oldies" radio stations that emerged in the 1970s-and it is the music or t be l 950s and l 960s that lies al the heart of that repertoire. Repertoires of classics emcrged also in jazz. Broadway, film music. and bane! music. Jazz numbers by Charlie Parker, Miles Dav is, and John Coltrane have become as standard as earlier works by Armstrong and l::J'lington. Musicais by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Bernstein. and others from the postwar decades are staged eve1y year by touring companies and in schools, and are occasionally revived on Broadway. F'ilm music has of course endureci in its role as accompan.iment to lhe movies themselves, but in recent years it has received attenlion for its own sake as well. Tbe campaign to create a repertoire of an music for concert band aod wind ensemble succeeded by the 1970s and forever changed the nature of band conce1is. ln each of these musical traditions, the music from the postwar era has never ceascd being played (at least in 1·ecorded form) and is now among ihe most frequently heard and deeply loved of the enti re traclition. As these new canons of musica l classics have become established. the first such canon- classical music itseli- has seen its share of the market and of the conce1i audieoce shrink in proportion. Chuck Beny's mocking suggestion that Beethoven roH over anel make way for a new kirnd of music now seems like a prophetic voice. ~ Resources for study and review available at wwnorton.com/studyspace.
POSTWAR HEIRS TO THE CLASSICAL TRADITION The tradition of classical music performance became stronger than ever during the years after World War U. Audiences grew, government support in many nations rose, schools of music expancled, and music education in primary anel secondary schools increasecl in quantity and quality. But the living composers who s.aw themselves as participants i n the classical traclition sha recl less and Jess common ground, with little consensus on style, aesthetic, or purpose. Some composers sought to p reserve and extend particular aspects of the lradition, from audience appeal to modernist complexity, while others focused on the new. Mter two world wars, nationalism seemed to be a dangerous relic of the past. ln every nation there was a diversity of styles anel approaches, and ideas that began in one place were often imitated elsewhere. Thus it makes sense to divide our sun•ey, not by nation but by large trencls, using individual co mposers as case studies while recognizing that some composers participated in severa) dilfer ent trends, reflecting the diversity of the time in their own music.

COMPOSITION AS RESEARCH Milton Babbitt, professor o-f music and of mathematics at Princeton University. argued that composers, like scientists, engage in ,esearch that advances knowledge and should be supported for that work, even if it lies beyond most people"s comprehension. His view extends in new terms the nineteenth-century v1ew of
music as an autonomous art to be pursued for its own sake. This excerpt is from an essay he wrote under the title -The Composer as Speciallst,-changed by an editor at the magazine where it first appeared to the more provocative "Who Cares lf You listen?"
- ~ Why should the layman be other than bored and puzzled by what he is unable to understand , music or anything else? lt is only the translation of this boredom and puzzlement into resentment and denunciation that seems to me indefensible. AFter all. the public does have its own music, its ubiquitous music: music to eat by, to read by, to dance by. and to be im pressed by. Why refuse to recognize the possibility that contemporary music has reached a stage long since attained by other forms of activity7 The time has passed when the normally well-educated man withou t specia l preparation can understand the mos t advanced work in, for example, mathematics, philosophy, and physics. Advanced music. to the extent that it reffects the knowledge and originality of the informed composer, scarcely can be expec ted to appear more intelligible than these arts and sciences to the person whose musical education usually has been even less extensive than his background in other fields. But
to this, a double standard is invoked, with the words •music is music," implying also that "music is jvst music." Why not. then. equate the activities of the radio repairman with those of the theoretical physicist. on the basis of the dictum tha t "physics is physics"? ... •.• 1dare suggest that the composer would do himself and his music an immediate and eventual service by total. resolute. and voluntary withdrawal from this public world to one of private performance and electronic media. with its very real possibility of complete elimi nation of the public and social aspec ts of musical composition. By so doing, the separation between the domains would be defined beyond any possibility of confusion of categories, and the composer would be free to pursue a private life of professional achievement, as opposed to a public life of unprofessional compromise and exhibitionism. But how, it may be asked, will this serve to secure the means of survival for the composer and his music? One answer is that after all such a private life is what the university provides the scholar and the scientist. lt is only proper that the university, which-significantly-has provided so many contemporary composers with their professional training and general education. should provide a home for the "complex," • difficult," and "problematical" in music.

TONAL TRADITIONALISM Many twentietb·century composers clevelopecl ind.ividual slyles with· out depar ting radically from the past. Tonality or neotonality often. though not necessarily. cha racterizes their music. Seeking to communicate with as val'ied a public as possible, these compose1·s offered listeners a threacl that ca n be followed t hrougb identina ble themes. r eadably aud ihle fo r ms, or programmatic subjects or titles. The most successful also discovered the secret of inspi.ring perfo rmers to champion their music, crealing wor ks that musicians are eager to p lay m ore rhan once. Amon.g such composers were Bernstein anel Persich etti. whom we encountered in the previous chapte r: Prokoflev, Shostakovich, and other Soviet composers affected by the expecta tions of the state that music should bave wide appeal; Poltlenc, Hindemith, and other composers wbo establisbed thei r reputations between the world wars: and Richard Strauss, who was still composing tonal music in his own personal idiom in the late l 940s, culminating with his Fotir Last Songs (1948). Of the Am eri can composers who rema in ed comm itted to tona li ty, on e of the most successful was Samuel Barber (l 910- 1981 ). His rnnal romanticism is fully expressed in his best · known work, Adagio for St.rings (a.rranged from the slow movement ofhis Stting Quartel, 1936), and in his Violin Concerto (1939) and Piano Concerto (1962). He ofte n incorporated modernist resources into his tonal mttsic; for exampl e, his Piano Sonata (1949) uses twelve· tone rows in a tonal J'ramework. Ba.rber was renowncd for his vocal music, includ ing Dover Beach 0931) for v()ice and string quar tel. Knoxvitle: Su.mmer of 1915 (1950) for voice and orchestra. and three operas. The songs in his cycle Herrnii Songs ( l 952- 53), on rexts by medieval lrish monks and hermits. are a lways tonally ce ntered, yet each offers a novel blend of traditional tonality with modem techniques. For instance . 77ie Monk a1id His Cat . sbown in Example 37.1, is solidly in F major yet features almost no consonant har monjes. Barber uses o pen lil'ths in the bass lirie lo suggesl a medieval acmosph ere and dissonant augmented unisons (Bl,- Bq and E-EI,) in the piano to suggest the cat. Aga inst the stearJy rhythrn of t he piano, th e vocal melody projects the na tural text accentuation in a synco pated . Jlexible line. whose r ise anel fali rnughly para ll ds the contour of th e piano·s chan t like m elody a perfect fourth higher, like an embellished st_yle of medieval parallel organum. 'fhis song shows Barber's ability to write music tbat sounds fresb, like no other music. while using only traditional rcsources.

BENJAM IN BR ITTEN
Musicfor amateurs
Hornosexualit_y
The most prominent composer in the tonal or neoto nal trad ition to win an international reputation in the postwar decades was English composer Benjamin Briuen (1913-1976). After studying priva tely and at lhe RoyaJ College of Music, Britten s pent severa! years in the late 1930s writing music for ftlms, an C>-'Perience that sbaped his style by teaching him to com muni cate through the simplest means. Like Copland. he tempered rnodernism with simplicity to achicve a clear and widely appealing idiom. As a young man in tbe 1930s, he was deeply influenced by humanitarian co ncerns and ideais of pu blic service. manifest in his interest in writing music for children and amateurs. his allegoricaJ pleas for tolerance, and his paci.üsm. The English chorai tradition was n urtured in churc h anel cathedral choirs. schools. anel amateur choruses. Most of Britten's choral music was conceived for s uch groups, a11d wo rks such as Hymn to St. Cecilia (1941-42),A Ceremony of Carols (1942), and Missa brevis (1959) havc become :standards. His one-act opera Noye's Fludde (Noah's Plood, 1957-58). on the textof a med ieval mira ele play, is intended for a m ixture of professional performers with children of various ages and includes hymns that che audience is invited to sing. These and his other works for nonprofossionals are meloclious. challenging pier.es that suit their performers' ahilities yet are not limited by them. Brit ten was a homosexual and was lhe life pai-tner of lhe tenor Peter Pears (19 10-1986).Showo in Pigure37.l. lhe two met in 1936 anel livccl togetheruntil
Britten·s death fourdecades later. Britten wrote most ofltis tenorroles for Pears, and the two collahora ted as performers anel as producers of the an nual mus ic festival atA!deburgh in England. Severa! of Britten's operas have themcs that relate tohomosexuality, includingBil!yBu.dd (1950-Sl)anclDeathin Vi?nice (1971-74). PeterGrimes (1944-45), whi ch established Britten's reputation and became the fust English opera since Pur cell to enter the international reperlory. centers o n a lisherman who is disli keel by the othe r resiele nts of his village, pu rsued by mobs, and ultimate ly driven to suicide. The theme ofthe individual persecuted by the crowd can be readas an alllegmy for lhe condition ofhomosexuals in a hostile society. TelJingly. Grimes is nota sym.pathetic character; we are meant to see ourselves, not in him, but in the ugly crowd that unthinkingly persecutes ou tsielers on the basis of suspicions and misinformation, forcing a poignant catharsis in the final 11-agedy. ln lhe last scene (NAWM 200), as a search pany pursues him calJing his name, Grimes raves anel mocks th em in an unmeasured recitative, until his friend Balstrode urges him to sail bisboal oul to sea and sink it. Tbe opera ends with a stunningdepictionof the uncaring sea and eq-ually uncaring townsfolk in a most successl'ul application of bitonalily: strings, harp, anel winds arpeggfate thirds that encompass all the notes of the C· major scaJe, depicting lhe shimmering sea, as the town's citizens go ahout their business. singing a slow hymn to the sea inA major, each key srnbbornly ignoring Lhe other. The entire scene displays the eloquent dra matic effects Bri tten creates out of simple means. Britten's pacilism- his conscientious objection to war in any form- is expressed in bis choral masterpiece, the War Requtem (196 1-62). Commissioned for the coosecration of the new cathedral ar Cove ntry, a city destroyed in a German bomhing raiei during World War IT, the work weaves together the Latin tex t of lhe Requiem Mass with verses by Wilfred Owen, English soldier and poe1 killed in France in l 918 just clays before the end of World War 1. The contrast of texts is highlighted by contrasts of perfo rmfog fo rces: the Lalin texts are set for soprano soloist, chorus. and full orchesti-a, with sections for boys' choir and organ, and the Owen poems are scored for altern ating tenor anel baritone soloists with chamber orchestra. Ironies abound. As the chorus sings "Requiem aeiernam" (Gra111 them eternal rest), they hammer home a tritone (F~-C). the least restfu l of intervals but the tonal axis of the entire work. Britten interleaves the Englisb texts so that lhey comment on the Latin, and vice versa, as in tbe ''Lacrimosa," where the melodie links hetween the soprano's tearful plea for mercy and the tenor's English verses hlghlight the futility be feels at the death of a friend in battle. Britten·s commitment-to paciftsm . to to lerance. to includ ing a.li ages and talents in music-maiking- gives his musica quality of sociaJ engagement that has attracted many performe1·s anrl listeners and has inspil'ecl later composers. Its enduring success shows the continuing power of music wi th a tonal center to move audiences and ea rn a place in the pennanent repe1toire.

OLIVIER MESSIAEN
Religious subjects
While Britten used a tonal or neotonal icliom that drew on English lraditions and communicated social meanings, Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) extended techniques from Debussyand Sn·avinsky to creat.e a personal posr-tona l musi cal language based on ai-tilicial modes. harmonic stasis. nnnmetric rhythms. and colorl'ul harmonies and timbres. and used it 10 create music that inspil'ed coolemplation. Shown in Pigure 37.2, Messiaen was the most important Prench composer bom in lhe twenlieth centu ry. A native of Avignon in southero France. he Stltdied organ and composilion at the Paris Conservatoire, was organist a t St. Tri nité in Paris from 193 1 on, and beca me professor of han nony at the Con · servaloire in 1941. After the war, he taught many important composers of the younge r generation, including his fellow Frenchman Pierre Boulez, lhe Cer main Karlheinz Stockhausen (botb discussed bel.ow), and the Ne1herlander Ton de Leeuw (1926- 1996). li is a tribute to the quality and impai-tiality of Messiaen's teaching that each pupil went his own way. A devout Calholic, Messiaen composed many pieces oo religious subjects, such as t he Quatuorpourlafm d1i temps (Quartel for the End ofTim e) for violin. clarinet. cello. and piano, written at a German military prison camp in 1940-41 for performance by the composer and three J'ellow prisoners: Vingt, regards sur l'Enfant·]ésus (Twenty Looks at the [nfan t Jesus, 1944) for piano: his opera Saint Francis oj'Assisi (1975-83): and n umero us works for his own instrument. lhe organ. Other principal compositions include lhe Turangalila Symphony (1946- 48) for orchestra and Cntalogue d'oiseaux (Catalogue of Birds, 1956-58) for piano. Messiaen sought to emhody in musica stance of ecstatic contemplation. His works typically present an experience of concentrated meditation on a few materiais, like a musical mantra. Rather than developing themes. he juxtaposes sta tic ideas, showing his heritage from Debussy and Stravinsky. Messiaen used severa! characteristic <levices. descrihed in his hook The 1'echniq1,e of My M1i.sical Language (1944). that helped him achieve his goal of writing medita· tive music. The opeuing movement of the Q1,a1uor poi,r la. findu tenips, titled Liturgiedecristc,l (Crystal Lihtrgy. NA\VM 201 lc••,,.. ,.,11~ ). illustrates several of them. as shown in Example 37.2. Messiaen often wrote down birdsongs in musical notatíon and used them in severa! compositions, where they convey a sense of contemplating the gifts of nature and the divine. ln Example 37.2. both the violin aod clarinel play fi.gu1·es that suggest bi rdcalls (ma rked "comme 1,m oiseau," 1ike a birei), repeating the m at irregu lar intervals . What Messiaen called modes of limited lra.nsposition are r.oller.ti ons of notes. like the who le tone anrl or.ta -

a minor third , 1ritone, or major sixth will yield tbe s.ame set of notes. Such scales lackthe differentiation of diatonic scales and so do not create a strong desire for resolution, making them well suited for music designed to suggcst contemplalion anda negation of desire. ln Lilurgie de cristal, the cello notes are al i from a single whole tone scale, in a repeating sequence of live notes (C- E- D- F;-131,). Messiaen's harmony also avoids moving forward to a resolulion. Rathe r. chord series are simply repeated to create a sense of stasis or meditation. ln this movement, the piano plays a succession of twenty-rune chords six times (the last incomplete); lhe second statcmenl begins in measure 8. Messiaeo trea1s rhy,hm as a maller of duralion , nol meter. Rejecting 1raditional Western meters based on strong and wea k beats. he drew inspiration fro m systems based on d uration. iocluding ancient G.-eek poelic meters lhat alternate long and short syllables rather than stressed and unstressed ones; the Prench Renaissance practice of musique mesurée (see chapte,· 11), itself based on ancienl Greek poetry: and the durat-ional system of lndian music. known as tala. Meter. as a series of beats organized in measures, is a human or worldly thing, associated with dance and hearcbeats. \Vhen we ,·espond to music metrically, we are in our bodies, but when we attend instead to durations we are in the realm of time. ruled by the divine. ln Example 37.2. the changiog no1e-lengths in the cello aod piano do not create a sense of syncopation against a rnetri c framework; instead, che smooth, legato playing style makes us hear pallerns of shorler and longer d urations. Throughoul the movement both piano and cello play repeated pai terns of duralions chat resemble the 1a.!ea.. or repeating rhythmic pattern, of medieval isorhythm (see chapler 6). The piano íeatures a series of sevenleen durations played ten times. of which thc nrst two statements appear in Example 37.2. Against this talea, the twenty-nine-chord series accs like the color in medieval isorhythm. Sim ilarly, the cello has a ta lea of lifteen durations, framing its ftve-note color. These repeating pitch and rhythmic series create cyclic repetition. which again invites contemplation. Exa mple 37.3 shows the piano and cello taleae written out in in tegra l no te values (without ties). The piano talea features a <levice Messia.en used to emphasize duration over meter: what he called addedvalues. suchas the dotted eig:hth note amid even eighths or the Jone sixteeoth note, which add a small durational value to produce units of irregu lar length. T he cello part includes another Messiaen trademark that he dubbed nonretrogradable rhythms. which are the sarne forwards and backwards; as shown by brackets, the lirsl three notes form one such rhythm , the next twe lve another. Such patterns preserve their identity outside oftime-whether heard in normal time or reverse time, they are the same-and thus symbolize the eternal, lhat which exists ou tsicle ol'time.

tbe chromatic scale could be serialized, so could clurations, intensities, timbres, or otl1er elements. Despite its name, total sedalism is never total; typically only some nonpitch elements are treatecl scrially. often only duration , and lhe rest are used to highlight the serial strncture. Ülher new extensions includeel methods of deriving subsidiary rows from the main series of a work, using fragmenls of a row. and subjecting rows lo various olher lransformaLi ons. ln these new clevelopments, Milton Ba bbill (19 16-2011; see Figu re 37. l Obelow) beca me the leading composer and theorist in the United States, a.nd Pierre Boulez of Paris and Ka.rlheinz Stockhausen of Cologne, both pupils of Messiaen anel associated witb the Oarmstadt summer courses, became the principal exponents in Eu rope. ln Babbitt's Three Compositions for Piano (1947), the ftrst piece to apply serial principles to duration. he used combinatorial pitch rows (see chapte1· 33) anda four-number durational row and manipulared them by the usual operarions of inversion a TI d ret rograde. His mu sic quickly grew more compJex, as he went beyond lhe practices of Schoenberg and his ci.rcle to realize new polentials of serialism. from 1947 to about 1961, Babbitl focused oncombinatorial rows and derived rows related by trichoreis (three-note group i11gs wühin the row), a.nd organized duration through number rows . ln the early 1960s, he began to use "all- partition arrays" of interrelated rows using ali possible ways of segmeming tlle row into groups of va.rious lengths. A.round the same cime , he developed a "time point" approach to duration, in which each meast1re of music is divided inlo lwe h•e equal unils of time. numbered from O to 11. and notes are assigned to begin at particular points on this time grid using num ber rows. Babbitt converted a pitch row into a number row by indicating the number of setnitones each note lies above lhe ftrsl note, as in Example 37.4. ln this way, at leasl in concep t, the sarne row that is used for the pitches also determines che rhy1hm. Babbitt once commentecl, "I want a piece of music to be Iiterally as much as possible;· and he has pursued tJlis goal by making the relationships between no,tcs as numerous anel intricate as possible. Composers in Euro pe explored similar ideas, independenl of Babbitt. ln Mode de va.leurs et d·intensités (Mode of Durations anel lntensities), the third of Quatre études de ryihme (Four Rhythntic Studies, 1949) for piano, Messiaen created a "mode" comprising tbirty-six pirches. each assignecl a speci.nc dura tioo, clynamic levei, and articu lation to be used every time chat pitch occutTed. Although the pitcheswerearranged in lhree divisions. each includingall twelve chromatic notes. the piece itself was not serially organized. But it inspired Boulez and Stockhausen lo write the Etrsl European works oi' total serialism. Stockhausen, shown in Pigure 37.3, heard Mode de vaLeurs at Darmstadt in 195 1 and composed bis KreuzspieL (Cross -Play) for piano. oboe. bass clarine1, and percussion that fali. ln the fu·st section, the pitch row is permuted

Each of the row forros is stated only once in Part l, which is over aFter ali have been stateel. Each note of the chromatic scale is linked to a certain dLtration anel dym1mic levei. crealing rows of duration and dynamics that permute with th e pitch rows. A similar process oi' rotation occurs in the percussion. using two clifferent rows of dt1ration. MeanwhiJe, another serial process controls the register in which each pitch is beard: half of the notes begin in the lowest r,e gister and rise to tbe highest over the course of Pari l. Lhe other half move from highesl to lowest. Stockhausen sets up these processes of change in pitch, duration , dynamic, and register so that they all cross at precisely lhe same point in the middle, hence the title, Kreuzspiel. Stockhausen continued to develop serial procedures in Kontra-Punkte (1952-53) and other works, but also moved in many other directions, combining serialism witb other methods while crealing a body of work as diverse as any composerofth e time. \Vewi ll encounterhim several times in this chap terancl the next. in relalion to electronic music. indeterminacy. quotation, and other trends. ln Kontakte (1958- 60) anel !ater works, Stockhausen used moment forin, in wh.icb formaJ units of contrasting character follow each other without necessarily suggesting a process. di.recLion, or narrativ·e, creating a sense of tirnelessness. Serial ideas continuecl to inform many of Stockhausen's works. but bis music was also marked by a const:mt search for new procedures. Boulez, shown in Pigure 37.4. was also inspired by Messiaen's Mode de valeurs to apply serialism to both pitch and duration. His Structures (1951- 52) for two pianos used the nrst of Messiaen's three twelve - note divisions as the pitch row. transformed bot h pitch and duration rows through retrograde, inversion. and other methods. and used dynamics and arliculation to distinguish rows from one another. Boulez noticed that the work could give a listener an ilnpression of randomness. because the piece lacked readily perceived themes, a dislinct rhythmic pulse, or a sense oí progression toward points of clima,x, and instead presented a sequence of unrepeated and unpredictahle musica] events. Seeking a more expressive language, but convinced that composition must be logical anel systematic. Boulez developed new methods of deriving related rows from a basic row tbat provided him witb enormous flexibility aJtd expressive polential.

His best-known piece is Le marieau sans mait1·e (The Hamm.er without a Master. 1953-55). in which he fused his pointillist style and serial methods with sensitive musical realization of the text. This work in nine short move ments is a setling of verses from a cycle of surrealist poems by René Char, interleaved witll instrum ental movements t ha t comm em on the vocal ones hy realiúng the sarne mate ri.ai in differenl ways. The ensemble- a differenl combinat ion in each movement, as in Schoenberg·s Pierroi Lunaire-comprises alt o voice, alto flute, xylori mba (a large xylophone), vibraphone, gu itar, viola, and a variety of soft percussion instmments. The ensemble produces a translu cent scrim of sound. ali in the middte anel high registers, witb effects sometimes suggestive of Balinese gamelan music. The vocal line is characterized by wide me lodie intervals, glissandos, and occasional Sprechstimme. The sixth movemenl. a setting of Char's Bourreaux de solitude (NA\VM 202) . is typical in that the complex serial procedures Boulez used are almost impervious to analysis, yet the mu sical surfoce is attract ive and always changing in interesting ways-no UOLtbt because of those very procedures. Moreover. the general shape is clear: the instrumental prelude and postlude rapidly and repeatedly ci rculate ali twelve chroroatic notes anel the entire set of durations, dynamic leveis, and timbres that Boulez is using, while the cent ral portion with the song-setting has a thinner texture. longer melodie lines. and frequent unisons or repeated pitches between voice anel instruments, giving it a completely different chat·acter. These composers and works should no l be taken as representative of postwar serial music. They ar e ve1y different l'rom each other. and in that sense alone they are typica l: vinua lly eve1y compose1· who used serial procedures , from Schoenhergon. <lid so in a unique way, devising individual approaches and. in many cases. usingdilferent Lechniques from piece to piece. The diver sity ol' serial music is a relleciion of the basic condilion of iwentieth-centtuy classical music we have observed since chapter 32, that each composer seeks to crcate music that is individual. distinctive. and innovative. yet linked in essenlial ways to the m usic of the past.

The music oJ tota l serialism was extraorclina rily di lncult to perform. for ihe stnicture to be clear in a work like Boulez's Le marteau sans mailre, nol only must the pitches anel rhythms be absolutely accurate, but the dynamics must be exact- every JJ' exacily that anel notf or.lff ln tbe postwaryears, a new gen eration of technically proncient performers emerged who were capable of playing such works and wbo made careers as champions of tbe newest music. Thei.r presence encouraged composers to write pieces to challenge the skills of these new vi rtt1osos. Much of this new music was not serial, but drew on sounds and textures like those explored in serial music. Tbe newvi rluosity is well represented bythe series of works titled Sequ-enza by ltalian composer Luciano Berio (1925- 2003; see Figure 37.13 below). Each Sequenza is for an unaccompanied solo instrnment from flute (] 958) to cello (2002) . and each was composed for a specinc performer. Toe excerpt from Sequenza.

and sudden changes of register and dynamic levei that are typical of the work. The atonal language, ftguration, and textures Serio uses here resemble those of his earlier serial music. Throughout, he uses the sostenuto pedal (which holds the dampers off the strings for notes that are being held whcn the pedal is pressed) 10 allow open strings 10 continue sounding or to catch hannonics from other notes. creat.ing an unusual effect. The title Sequenza (Sequence) refers to a sequence of harmonic helds explored over the course of the piece. ln this excerpt, the second chord is derived from the fu-sl (transposing 1he top and bottom portions bywho.l e step anel tritone respectively), and most of what follows is drawn from one or both chords. The American com poser Elliott Carter (1908- 2012) wrote for virtuoso performers as well, using a complex, nonserial stylc charac1erized by innovations in rhythm and fonn. Begi nning with his Cello Sonata (1948). Catier developed what he called metric modu.lation. in which a transition is made from one tempo and metei- to another through an imermediary stage that sh.ares aspects of both. resul ting in a precise proportional change in the value of a durational unit. The passage from his String QuaJ"tel No. 2 () 959) in Exa.mple 37.6 illustrates Carter's methods. Jn this work, eacb instrumental part takes on adis tinctive personality tbat interacts with the others as if in a dramatic work. The instruments are differentiated by their most prominent intervals: the lirst violin dwells on minor thirds and perfect hl1hs, the second violin on major sixths and sevenths. the viola on tritones and ninths, the cello on perfect fourths and minor sixths. They are also distinguished by rhythm: rapid , even notes in Lhe fu-st violin, regular punctualions in the second vio lin. tripieis in the viola. anel a uotated accelerando in the cello. witb a dotted arrow indicating license to speed up smoothly rather than exactly as notated. The ftrst violin effects the metric modulalion: what was a sixteenth- note quintuplet in measures 57- 58 is renotated as a sixteenth note in measure 59. then in measure 60 the dotted eighth (equal to three sixteenths) becomes th e beat, creating a 3 :5 proportion in tempo, from 112 beats per minute to 186. 7. There is also a proportion of 8:5 between the fust violin and the second violin . whoM! r.hord~ articulate a tempo of 70 attacks per minu te. The result is a counterpoint of sharply differentiated lines. inspired in part by the multilayered tex tures in the music of Ives, whom Carter knew in his youth.

The performance difftculties of works like these have meant that t.hey are seldom performed and are known mainly through recordings. Yet. like nineteen1h -century virtuoso showpieces, Lhe bes1 of these pieces attract some of the top performers and are likely to endure. The extraordina1y virtuosity they represent has parallels in jazz and popular music of the same era, f'rom the blistering solos oi' Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, and ot.her bebop and modem jazz artists to the f'eats of rock guitarists like Eric Clapton ana Jimi Hendrix. Performers in ali of these traditions were willing togo to new extremes to make ao impact and claim listeners' attention. The demands on pedormcrs by composers like Berio anel Carter. or by serial composers such as Babbitt, Stockhausen, and Boulez. were marched by their demands on listeners. Each piece was difficult to understand in its own right. using a novel musicallangL1age even more distant from the staples of the co ncert repe.rtoire than e.arlier mod erni~t music harl heen. Compounding listeners' difiiculties was that each composer and often each piece used a unique approach, so that even after gettingto know one such work, encountering the

nexl one could be like staning from scraLch. Again 1here are parallels with Lhe rising demands on tbe listener imposed in tbe sarne decades by modern and avant-garde jazz or by the mosl advenlul'Ous arlists in po pular music. Such challenges had Lremendous appeal LO some members of the audience for dassical music, the mode1·11 equivalems to the con noisseurs of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. But many listeners. like many players, found the new music harde r to grasp tban an)1hing they had eve r encountered.
John Cage and the Avant-Garde The music we have examined so far. from Barber's lona! works to lhe complex sounds of Messiaen, Boulez, and Bel'io. can ali be rega rded as modernjst in essence, because each composer extenclecl aspects of existing music in new directions. But the music of John Cage and other avant-garde composers raises more fundamental questions. What is music? What counts as musical sound? How should we listen, and to what? What is a composilion, an<l what is the ro le of the composer? Where is the boundary between art and life-or is there any?
JOHN CAGE Over 1he course of a long and inlluential career. John Cage (1912- 19'92). shown in Figure 37.5, crea1ed sounds, approaches, and ideas that previously had been excluded from music. After studying with CoweU and Schoenberg. he composed serial music in the mid - l 930s. worked in Lhe experimen1alisl lradilion 1hrough the 1940s, then turned i n the 1950s a nd 1960s to ever more radical reconceptions of music that made him lhe leacling composer and philosopher of the postwar avant- garde. Throughout his career, he worked closely with artists in other Eielcls, from painters to dancers. His most frequent collaborator was mod era dancer and choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009). who was his life partnerfrom the mid1940s until Cage's death almost fi.ve decades )ater. ln lhe late 1930s and early l 940s, Cage wrote numerous works for percussion ensemble. following the lead of Varêse·s all- percussion work lonisation. Cage's search for new sounds, part of his heritage from Cowell. is evident in bis use of untraclitionaJ instniments. such as tin cans ofvarying size and pitch in Third Construction in Metal (l 941). :md an elecb·ic buzzer and electrnnically amplined noises in Jmaginary Land~cape No. 3 {J 942).

oot suitable. While SchoenJierg bad impressecl upon Cage the need for musical structure that relates the whole to the parts, Cowell had introduced l,jm to the concepl of tcila. or organization by duration. in Indian music. Combining these ideas, Cage devised s1ructures based on dura1ion in which the proportions of the whole were reflected in each part: a movement is clivided into as many unils as each unit has measures. and lhe grouping of unils into secliotts is the sarne as the group[ng or measu res withio each unit. For examp le, F'irst Consiru.ction in Metal ( 1939) has sixteen units of sLxteen measures each; the units are grouped into contrasting sections in lhe pattern 4+3+2+3+4, and within eacb unit the measures are grouped in the sarne patlern, with contrasting material in each group of measures to make 1he durationa l pattern audi ble. Cage sometimes caJled such astructure squ.are rootfomi. since the numbe1· of measures in each unit is lhe sq uare root of lhe total in the movemenl. The organization of music in terms of units of time ra1her than pilch and rhythmic relatiooships was one of Cage's most importaot in novations and continued to underlie much ofhis later work. Cage·s experimentalion with timbre culminated in his invention of the Prepa.red pia.no prep a r ecl /JÍ<1.110, in which various objects-such as pennies, bolls, screws, or pieces of wood , rubber. plastic. weather stripping, or slit bamboo-a re inserted between the strings. resulting in delicate, complex percussive sounds when 1he piano is played from the keyboard. Essen1ially, the prepared piano is a one-per·son percussion ensembJe, with sounds that resemble drums. woodblocks. gongs. and other standard or unusual instruments. Cage·s best - known work for prepared piano is Sonatas and Interludes (1946- 48). consisting of sixteen "sonatas"- relatively brief movements, most in binary fomi without thematic returns-and fom interludes. Tbe pian:ist prepa res the piano in advance. following detailed instructions concerning what objects to place between the strings and where Lo pu! them. Each movemenl explores 1 Concise i\\ 1 1 Full i\\ 1 a different set of ti m bres and ftgurations. Sonata V (NA\'(/M 20]) illustrates the contrasts Cage achieves between wood. drum . gong. and unaltered piano sounds, and lhe inleractions he creates between 1he conlent-the succession of sounds- and the durational structure- the units of time determinecl by binary and square root forros. Cage's pieces for perciussion and prepared piano continued in the tradition 1950s a.nd 1960s of experimental music of his former 1cacher Heruy Cowell. Bm in 1950, Cage met composer Morton Feldman (1926-1987), and the two became the nucleus of a small group of like - minded musicians in New York. Their conversations . together wüh Cage's grow ing inleres l in Zen Buddhism and in 1he arl of Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008). moved Cage in new directions that were no lon ger experimenta\ist but were unmistakably avant-garde. ln bis lectures and writings, he strnngly opposed the museumlike p reservation of music from the past and argued for music that focused the listcner's attcntion on the prescnt moment. He did not seek to write works that expressed emotions, conveyed images. developed materfa l, revealed a coherent structure, or unfolded a logi cal series of events. as music had done for cenlLtries. lnstead. inlluenced by Zen Buddhism. he created opportunities for experiencing sounds as themselves. notas vehicles for the composer's intentions (see Source Reading).

M USIC IN THE PRESENT MOMENT John Cage articulated his views about music in a series of lectures given at Darmstadt, Germany. in 1958. and published in his first book of writings, Silence (1961). The lec ture "Chang es: from which the following is excerpted, was interleaved in its presentation with
excerpts from Cage's Musico{ Changes.
(ln my recent works,] the view taken is not of an activity the purpose of which is to integrate the opposites. but rather of an activity characterized by process and essentially purposeless. The mind, though stripped of its right to control. is still present. What does it do, having nothing to do7 And what happens to a piece of music when it is purposelessly ma de? What happens. for instance. to silence7 That is. how does the mind's perception of it change? Formerly, silence was the time lapse between sounds, useful towa rds a variety of ends, among them that of tasteful arrangement. where by separating two sounds or two groups of sounds their differences or relationships might receive emphasis: or that of expressivity, where silences in a musical discourse might provide pause or punctuation; or again, that of architecture, where the introduction or interruption of silence might give defi nition either to a predetermined structure or to an organically developing one. Where none of these or other goals is present. silence becomes something else-not silence at all. but sounds. the ambient sounds. Tlhe nature of these is unpredictable and changing . These sounds (which are
called silence only beca use they do not form part of a musical intention) may be depended upon to exist. The world teems with them. and is. in fact. at no point free of them. He who has entered an anechoic chamber, a roam made as silent as technologically possible. has heard there two sounds. one high, one low-the high the listener's nervous system in operation. the low his blood circulation .

By leavingsome of the dec isions normally made by a composer to chance, Cage created pieces in which the sounds did not convey his inte ntions , but simply were.

The resu lt is a piece in which sounds occur (and may recur) randomly and at random volumes. durations. and speeds. Perhaps surprisingly, beca use humans natu rally frnd patterns even in random events- think oJ'the conste ll ations, randomly scattered stars in which ancient cultures found images of animais anel mythological beings- listeners can heareven chance-determinecl musicas interesling and beau1iful , full of intriguingchanges in densily, register, and sound. Thus we may fmd a chance composition appea ling, even while recognizing that il does nol convey an emotion. story, or other inlenlion. Cage hoped lhat listeners would fmd his chance works engaging precisely because lhey olfer the opportunity to hear souncls si mply as themselves, uot as vehicles of communication or mysteries lo puzzle out. Chance is a way to delermine certain aspects of the music without imposing lhe composer's inlentions. A.nother approach Cage piooeered is what he ca Úed indetemiinacy. in w]lich the composer leaves certain aspects of the music unspeci.fted. He drew the idea in part from the work ofb.is friencl Morton Feldman, who in pieces such as Projection J for ce!Jo (1950) used graphic 11otation to indicate register in genei·a l terms ralherthan specifyingprecise notes (see cliscussion below). Cage's Concert for piano and orchestra (1957- 58) includes sbcly· three pages containing various kinds of graphic notation. lntended to be realized by the player·s according to instructions in lhe score; the exact sounds produced vary considerably from one pe rformance to another. Cage·s most extreme indcterminate work- and bis most famous picce- was 4'33" (Four Minutes Thirty-Th_ree Seconds, 1952), shown in F'igure 37.6, in which the performer or performers sit silently at their instruments for a span of time specined in the title (subdivided into three "movements"). while what ever noises can be heard in the concert hall or from outside constitute the music. The piece imp lies that silence is simply openness to ambient sound anel that there are always environmental souncls worth contemplating. ln chance music. some elements are detennined by chance; in indeterminate music, some elements are lefl unspecified by lhe composer. ln both, Cage invites the listener simply to hear sounds as sounds. whether notated in the music or not, whethe1· generated by the performers or occuning as part of the a.m.bient sounds, experiencing each sound as il comes along, not trying lO connect it to what precedes or fo llows it. not expecting the music to communicate feelings or meanings of any kind. but listening as intently as we would listen to any art music, so that we learn to extend our auention beyond music to the world itselJ. We saw in the prcvious chapler thal postwar musicians in jazz. popular music. Broadway. and band music often demanded more atten tive listening from their audiences, tJ1e same kind of close attention expected from listeners to classical music; Cage's music asks that we give that sarne levei of attention not only to musical sounds but to alJ the sounds we hear. Beginningin the late 1 950s. Cage moved toward complete openness ineve1y aspecl of composition and performance. Variations W(l 963), for instance, uses both indeterminacy and chance (transparent plastic sheets with lin es. dots ,

The "other activ it ies·· might include speech, theater, dance, and activilies of daily life. lncluding these in "musical" works blurred the boundaries between music, other arts. and lhe rest of life.

Encounters with Cage or his music prompted several European conlemporaries to adopt chance procedures or indeterm inacy. Among them was Stockhausen, who used indeterminacy ~ in pieces such as Kl<wierstuckXJ (Piano Piece XI, 1956). The score is a sinp;le large sheet with rúneteen short segFIGURE 37.7: Earle Brown.

Not ali need be played, any may be repeated, ana the piece ends after the pianist plays any segment for a third lime. Many other composers, even Britten, called for brief periods of indeterminacy in lhei1· music in order to acb ieve a certain sound, gesture, or effect. 1!7itold L11toslawski The Polish composer Witold Lutostawski (1913-1994) made selective use of indeterminacy. while insisting on his autborship of the entire composition-a stance quite at odds wiib Cage's, suggesting an orientalion more modernist than avant-garde. ln his String Quartet ( 1964), pitches and rhythms are specifted but not the coordination of parts: the players begin a section together, but each plays independently, changing tempo as desu-ed, until the next checkpoint is reached. when ata signal from one of lhe players they begin together again. Symphony No. 3 (1983) applies this method with great subtlety. Some sections invi te individual players to dwell upon a figure in thc manoer of a soloist playing a cadenza; at other times, eight stands oJ vio lins. guided by prescrib ed pitches but on ly approximate durations, go their own ways like tendrils of a vine. These passages achieve a freedom and eloquence hardly possible through precise notation and show the power of limited indeterminacy within a traditiona l genre. Significance of Mauy other composers aclopted indeterminacy in some form under the indeterm inac_y intlue nce of Cage or his associates. One by- product of indeterminacy is the variety of new kinds of notation. Scores range all lhe way from fragments of conventional staff notes through purely graphic suggestions of melodie curves, dynam ic ranges. rhythms, and the like to even more slippery and meager directives. Another conseq uence of indeterminacy is that no two performances of a piece are identical. ln effect. a composition does not existas such. but only as a performance. oras the sum of possible performances.

INDETERM INACY IN WORKS OF OTHER COMPOSERS As we have seen. Cage was inspired to use indeterminacy in part because of Monon Feldman's example. Feldmao was closely associated with the New York abstract expression ist painters, including Jackson Pollock. Mark Rothko. and Philip Guston. who inspired him to trust instinct. reject compositional systems and tradilional fonns of expression, and compose in a manner ana logous to their flat, abstract images. His Projection I for so lo cello uses boxes rather than noteheads to indicate approximate register. leaving the specinc pitches up to ibe player. But timbre and rhythm are speci&ed (although shown by graphic rather than standard notation), and the pattern of sounds and silences and of changingtimbres and densiries of attack will be the sarne no matter what pitches are chosen. By deemphasizing pitch. Feld • man focuses our allention on other aspects of lhe music. ln other pieces, Feldman notated specilic pitches but left the durations indeterminate. and in some he used conventional notation. However notated. his pieces m·e gener ally sparse in texture, quiet, atonal, and pointillistic, showing the influence of \Vebern (whose Sympl1ony, NAWM 175. sparked Peldman's ftrst meetingwith Cage) but with a completely distinctive sound. Another member of the New York group around Cage and Feldman was Earle Brown (1926- 2002). His December 1952 (] 952). shown in Figure 37. 7. is a piece in graphic notation in which nothing is specift ed. He offers lines and rectangles of various s izes, some vertical and othe,·s horizon ta l, and exp lains in a note that the score can be placed ia any orientation, read ia any direc· tion. an<l performe<l for any length of time by any number of instruments or other sound- makers.

ELECTRONIC MUSIC As oew technologies developed , musicians explored their potential. No technology promised more far-reach ing changes for mus ic than the e lectronic recording. productio.n. and transformation of sounds. These technoloi;ies were l'll'st exploiled in art music but ultimately became more signiJ'1can1 for popular music beginning in the l. 960s. One approach was to work with recordeei sounds. taking the entire world of sound as potential material for music, manipulating the chosen sounds throu11;h mechanical and electronic means, and assemb ling them into c ollages . Pierre Schaeffe r (1910-1995), who pion eered music of this type at Radiodiffusion Françajse (French Radio) in Paris in the l 940s. named it musique concrete because the composer worke<l with conc rete sounds tbemselves rather than with music not:aiion. Schaeffer's lirst experiments, Cinq êttides de bruits (Five Stuclies of No ises) for phonograph. were p remierecl ata concert in Paris in 1948. then he collaborated with Pierre Henry (b. 1927) to create the fu-st major work of musique concrete, Symphonie pour tin liomme seu! (Symphony for On e Mau). premiered in a 1950 radio broadcast. Tape recorders . which became widely available around that year. made it possible to record , amplify, and lransfonn sounds, then superimpose, juxtapose, fragment, and arrange them as desired to produce p ieces oi' music. The tape on whlch sounds were recorded had glossy plastic on one side and a thin layer of iron oxide on the other. lt ran ata regulai· speed past electromagnetic heads that used magnetism lo record sounds on the iron oxide or. when p laying ba ck previously recorded sounds, to translate the magnetic signature already on the tape. Running the tape by the playback heads at differem speeds changed the pilch and ofren lhe tone color (the pattern of harmonics associated with a pitch). Many other playback effects were possible. anel the tape itself could be cut and respliced to juxtapose fragments of sound. Composers used all these tools to manipulate the sounds they had recorded. creati ng music by a process that often physically as well as artisti cally resembled collage. Another source fo r new sounds was to produce them electronically. Most electronic sounds are created by oscillators. inventcd in 1915.

Electronic music Between 1951 and 1953, stud ios to create electronic music were founded studios al Columhia University i.n New York anel at radio stalions in Cologne (Ger many). Mi lan ( Jtaly), and Tokyo (Japan), fo llowed by many othe rs ac ross Europe and the America.s. These stud ios were funded by governments ançl grants because lhey were very expensive and time -consumingto equip and to run; at Cologne. for example, Karlheinz St.ockhausen had a dedicated team of lechniciaos, and his electronic compositions took hundreds of hours to create . At most studios, composers focused on producing sounds electron icaJJy and manipuJating them through eleclronic <levices and on tape. A whole new realm of possible sounds became available, includiog sounds that could not be produced by any "natural" mea ns.

developed al the joint Columbia -Princeton ElectTOnic Music Center in the late 1950s a nd used by many composers Írom the Uniled States and ahroad. ln the mid - 1960s., Robert Moog and Donald Buchla each developed far simpler and more compact synthesiiers based on voltage-controlled oscillators. When these became commercialJy available in 1966, they were adopted by electronic music studios and individual composers around the world. The Moog and Buchla syn.thesizers reduced lhe time needed to make electronic musicand were much less expensive, all owingcomposers to buy and use them ac home. One of the early works created on the Buchla synthesizer was Silver Apples of the Moon (1967) by Morton Su.botnick (b. 1933), the nrst electronic piece to be commissionecl by a record company, designed lo Jill two sides of an LP and to be played ai home rather chan in concert. The new syntbesizers were also adopted by popular artists such as the Beatles. and electronic synthesizers soon became a familiar SOLtnd in pop music. The electronic medium gave co mposers complete, unmediated control over their compositions. Much of the new music already demanded complex rhythms and minute shadings of pitch, intensity, and timbre that could ba rely be realized by human performers. but in the electronic studio. every detail could be accurately ca1culated and recorded . This is one reasou practitioners of total serialism embraced electronic music. Yet the absence of performe rs hindered the acceptance of purely electronic music. since audiences expecl to nave performers to watch and respon<I to, and since performers are the main promoters anel advoca tes for new music. Recognizing this. composers soon began to create works that combined prerecorderl tape witb live performers. One of the mosi moving early examples was Milton Babbitt's Phil-0mel (1964. farst section in NA\VM 20"."), for soprano soloist with a tape that includes altered recordeei fragments of the singer asweU as electronicsounds.

Al times Lige ti uses what he caJJed "micropolyphouy," canons with many lines rooving at dif-ferent sates to create the efJ'ect of a mass of sound slowly moving through space; this too is a technique from the eleclronic píece. ln one spectacular passage. these lines gradually rise until they reacb lhe top of tbe o rchestra. with four piccoJos sounding/orti-ssimo notes a haJf-step apart high in their range; at such a high register, the differences in pitch create resultant tones octaves lower.

Alberto Ginas1era (1916-1983) oi' Argentina, the most prominent Lalin American composer in tbe generation after Villa- Lobos, d rew on both national anel international sources. He diviclecl his carcer into thrce periocls. His ..objective nationalism·· (lo 1947), typined in Danzas a,gentinas for piano (1937), is characterized by tona l music infused with traditional Argentine folk elements. ln the second period. "subjective nationalism" (1947- 57) . he íorged an original style lhrough a Bart.óklike syn1hesis of native and in ternational elements, as in Po.rnpeano.s No. 1 for vio lin and piano ( l 947) and No. 2 for cello and piano (1950). His "neo-expressionism" (after 1957) combines earli er traits with twelve - tone anel avant - garde techniques, as in his operas Don Rodrigo ( 1963-64), Bomarzo (J 966-67), and Beatrfa: Cenci (1971). Ginastera's turn from nationalism to a more abstract style is typica l of the postwar em. In 1he l 950s and l 960s, as jazz was being taken more and more seriously, some American composers who were co nversant with both jazz and classical music sought consciously to merge the two. One of the most successful of these, Gunther Schuller (b. 1925). called this cornhination .;third stream." ln his Tran~(ormar.ion (1957), a pointilJistic twelve-tone contexL with elements ofSchoenberg's Klangfarbenmelodie is transformed into a full -blown modem jazz piecc. Leonard Bernstein also incorporated jazz elements in his classical music, including Prelude. Fugue and Riffs for clarinet and jazz ensemble (1949), Symphony No 2 "The Age of Anxiety" (1949), anel the opera Candide (1956). Englishman Michael Tippet t (1905-1998) represents a dilferent kind of synthesis, remarkabJy open to historical, eth ni c, and non -\Xlestern styles and materials. The rhythmic and metrical independence Tippelt assigned to instrumental parts derived partly from English Renaissance music. The Piano Concerto (1953- 55) anel lhe Tripie Concerto for violin, viola, and cello (1979) reveal Tippetfs admiration for Javauese gamelan music. the ftrst in its textmes and instrumental comhinations. the second in its use of a Java nese melody with rippling ftgu1·alion and sounds such as gongs in the accompariiment of the slow movement. Tippett's respectful approach to Javanese music is typical of the postwar era, in which growing sensitivity to the perspectives of other cultures led to an exi>lo ration of thei r music with respect for its uniqueness, racher than invoking the "foreign" for its sheer otherness as in nineteenthcent1.1ry exoticism. We have seen that Messiaen, Cage. and Partch drew on ideas from Asian music and thal jazz, pop, anel Broadway composers did as well. Canadian-American composer Colin McPhee (1900-1964) studied music in Bali in the 1930s. transcribed gamelan music for Western instruments, and composed Ttil>uh-tabuhan (1936) for orchestra and many ocher pieces that elrew on Balinese materiais. Henry Coweffs IHelong interest in Asian music grew after World War II, and traveis to Iran. lndia. and Japan led lo several works that blended Asian and Weslern elements, including Per.sian Set (1957) for chamber orcheslra, Symphony No. 13 "Madras" (195658). Onga.ku (1957) for orcbestra. anel two concenos for the Japanese koto (a plucked string instrument) and orchestra (1961- 62 and 1965).

His November Steps (1967) is a sorl of double concerto, contrasting the sonorities of the Japanese shakuhachi (a bamboo ilute) and biwa (a pear-shaped Lute) with those of a Western orchestra. Takemitsu often combined Japanese and Western instrumencs and techuiques in his rnany lilm scores. such as the score for A.kira Kurosawa's Ran (1985). a retelling of King Lear in a Japanese setting.

QUOTATION ANO COLLAGE A resource used by many composers of vaJ-ying orientations was <111.otntion of existing music. including a collagc of multiple quotations. The ways earlier composers from Bach and Handel lo modernists like Schoenberg, lves, and Stravinsky had reworked borroweel materia l served as inspiration, as did quotations in modem poetry and collage in modero art. But postwar composers turned borrowing to new pu rposes, using evo~tions of older music to carry meanings that were not available by other means. English com poser Peter Maxwell Davies (b. 1934) drew on cha nt and English Renaissance music for many works. emphasizing the gulf between modern times and the distanl pasl by distorting the sottrce material or trans· fonning it through modero procedures. His opera Tavemer (1962-70). on the life of Renaissance composer John Taverner. reworks the latter's ln Nomine in a variety of ways before fmally presenling it in recogn.izable form at the end, recalling Jves's cumulative form. American composer George Rochberg (1918-2005). who had written mostly serial mus ic, found it inadcquate to express his feelings on the death of b.is son in 1964. anel hLrned lhe nexl year to works based on borroweel material. Contra mortelll et 1e11tpus (Against Death and Time) quotes passages from Boulez, Berio, Va rêse, and lves, and Music for o. Magic Theo.ter incorporates music of Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler. Webern. Varese. Stockhausen. and his own earlier wm·ks. seeking in both pier.es to evoke "the many-layered density of human existence."

which fragments of the Bach, altered to va1ying degrees, emerge from Rochbe1·g's own atonal mus ic to create a dialogue between composers and styles. A similar work is Baroque Variatioris (1967) by Lukas foss (1922- 2009), whose thi-ee movements subject pieces by Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, and Bach respectively to a variety of transformations from add ing clusters to fad ing out lo inaudiliility. creating what lhe composer called '"dreams· about these pieces:· George Crumb also o[ten reílects on music oh' the past; fo r example. his Bla.ck:Angels quotes the chant Dies irae and SchuberfsDeath and the Maiden Quartel fortheir alfective associations. StockhatMen Stockhausen used borroweel material in several works. notably Cesang der Jti:nglinge, Telemusik (1966), Hymnen (1967), and Opus 1970 (1970). Hymnen incorporates words an el melodies of many different nationaJ anthems in a performance combining eleclronic sounds with voices and instruments. The intenlion, Stockhausen claimed, was "not to interpret, but to hear familiar, old, preformeel musical material witb new ears, to penetrate an el n-ansform it with a m usical consciousness of today." This aim represents a new way of relating music of the present: lo that of the past. Opu-s 1970. written for the Beethoven bicentenary in that year, includes transformed but recogn izabJe ÍTai:(ments from Beethoven's wo rks, assembleel ou tape and played from four loudspeakers alongside tive music: the older composer·s music is clistorted and overwheJrned in an act more of violent conquest than ofhornage. Berio's Sinfonia One of the richest pieces based on borrowed materia l is the thirel movement of Luciano Berio·s Sinfonia (Symphony. 1968-69) . Serio. shown in Fig· ure 3"7.13. incorporated mos1 of the scherzo movement of MahJer's Second Symphony and superimposed on it a n ampliiied verba l co mm ent.a ry by an eight-voice ensemble anda musical co=entary by a large orchesh·a. The bar- to - bar continuity of lhe MahJer is mostly maintafaed, although at times it disappears lemporarily or appears with pans of the texture omitted. Overlaid on the Mahler are quotations from over one hundred other works. including Richard Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier, Ravel's Lo. valse. Berg's 1Pozzeck. an el Debussy's La mer. Each quotation co n.nects in sorne way to the MahJer or to the spoken texts, drawn mostly írom Samuel Beckett'sThe Unnaniable, an interior monologueofa man who has just died. Both words and music suggest a stream of consciousness. as the memories of a Jiretime emerge and slip away. Music based on quotation can carry many meanings. but often it gives the audience something familiar to grasp-either the quoted piece itself or the style or type of piece it l'epresentsand provides a new experience d rawing on what the listener already knows. As a result, many lis teners .ünd it much more approachable than the unfamiliar sounds of serialism. the avant-garde. electronic music, and other postwar trends.

the past, inclueling tonality. This is one origin for the recent treuds of neoRomanticism and post modernism, discussed in the next chapter.
New Paths ln the postwar period, composers of every stripe were trying to create something new, from the new ílavors of tonal mus ic in Ba rber and Britten, of post - tonal music in Messiaen. anel of serialism in Babbitt and Boulez to the radical rethinking of music in Cage's works, the new sounds of electronic music, the incorporation of Asian elemen ts , an el the new approach to quolation. Like jazz. popular music. musicais . .and band music of the sarne era, postwar classicaJ music borrowed from other tradilions, experimented wilh new techniC[lleS anel tech nology, and made , ncreasing demands on perform ers and listeners, in some cases demanding u nprecedented leveis of aliention and comprehension. ln part because ol' this great diversit)' of sound and approach and the greater difliculty it poses for the audien~e. much of the music by postwa r composers in the classical tradition still seems new and unfamiliar to most listeners, even while works hy their contemporaries in jazz, popular music, and Broadway have become a mong the most familia r and wel l-known pieces in those traditions. Some works have become established in the permanent classical repe11oire. such as the postwar symphonies and quartets ofShosta kovich and the operas and choral music of Britten, anda few others are part of the canon thal well-educated classical music ians and lisleners k:now, including Messiaen's Quartel for the End of Time, Boulez's Le marteatt sans maitre. Crumb's Black Angels, and Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. But most art music of the era, whether traditional or inn ovative, still remains less well known than works from earlier in the century. Some of the experiments in to tal serialism, incletenninacy, performance are, electronic music, anel other new ideas now seem dateel, anel works whose impact depe nded in part on the unfamiliarity of their sounds or techniques do not always stand up well to rehearings. Yet the impact of this music should noL be underestima ted. Many of those sounds and techniC[lleS have beco me commo n currency for !ater composers of classical. popular, and hlm music, from electronics and Asian instruments to variegated textu res and q L1otalion, and Cage's philosophy of m usichas opened up new possibilities that have borne fruit in recen tdecaeles. from minimalism to dance theater events like STOMP.

THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY ln the last three decades of the twentieth cen tury, the Western musical tradition continued to diver sify. New institutions were created to preserve the history of jazz and popu lar music, whi le new types of popular music such as punk and hip hop emerged to serve specinc audiences. Boundaries between traditions blurred or became irrelevant as mus icians c reated hybrids between popular and classical traditions or Western and non -Western ones. Digital synthesizers and computers provided new resources for electronic music in both classical and popular traditions. New forms of mixed mediei challenged old distinctions between art and popular music and between music, theater, dance, and other arts. Among composers in
the classical tradition , an increased interest in reaching a broad audience produced a number of new curren ts, including minimalism and neo-Ro11u111ticism. At the sarne time, almost ali the trends discussed in the previous chapter continued, and many composers pursued indi-
vidual paths. Because this chapter cannot do justice to ali the varied music of this era , we will look at only a few salient issues. We will begin with a survey of the changing world of music, noting especiaily the broaden ing conception of musicas an art, the cross-fertilization of traditions, the influence of new digital technologies, anel the increasing importa nce of m ixed media. We will then exam ine five trends that seem especially prominent in these decacles: the fragmentation of popular music; minimalism and its offshoots; the continuing strength of modernism in new and individual idioms; polysty lism, the juxtaposition

Country music was not far behind; lhe Country MusicHall of Fame and Museum, which dates back to the 1960s. opcned a spectacularnew building in Nashville in 2001, and interest in preserving older styl es continued to grow. The musical, too, became recognized as a trad ition of classics. ma rked by academic books and courses if not yet by museums or performing institu· tions. New produclions of shows by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe, Kern. Portei-, Berlin , and othe1·s were staged on Broadway and arou nd the wo rld. Musicais that had not been seen since tbeir original runs decades ea dier were revived with the same com.mitmenl shown by those who rediscovered, edited. and performed works of ea.rlier centul'ies. New mus icais often aspired to the levei of art music more than ente rtainment. The dominant figure in the American musical in the late twentieth cen Lury was Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930), whose musicais include the plotless social commenta1y ofCompany (l 970): the melodramat icSweeney Todd (1979). about a murderous London buber: Sundayin 1,he Park with George (l 984), based oo a f'amous pointillist pa.i.ntingby Georges Seurat; andAssassins (1991), featuring successful and wou ld - be assassins of American presidents-a ll subjects earlier musicais would notlikely have touched. As a teenager, Sondheim studied privately with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein li, wbo coached him in how to create the book. lyrics, and music for musicais. Sondhcim's lyrics are w'itty and poetic, and his songs draw on Broadway and popu lar styles whil e often brea king from convention , sounding a bit like art songs in a semi- popu lar idiom.

Like lilm composers, Lloyd Webber d rew on a wide range of styles to suit the dramatic situation, while retaining the musical's tradilional focus on lyrical. affccting melody. Also remarkably successful with audiences were the musicais of French composer Claude-Michel Schõn berg (b 1944), notably Les Misérables (1 980; English ver sion. 1985). a selling of Victor Hugo·s novel of poverty in Paris. and Miss Sai· gon (l 989). retell ing Pucci nfs Madama Butte,fty in the contex1of the Viet nam \Var.

Orher traditions
BLURRING THE UNES ln a world where musicians are aware of such a wide range of music, the boundaries between traditions naturally begin to blur, especially l'or those wbo value music from more than one t radition and seek to create compa rab le music of their own. While many musicians have stayed within their own traditions , others cross over from one to another or blend aspects of several, so that for them and their Iisteners the existing boundaries for aU iutents and purposes clisappear. If the splintering of the classical tradition into a va1·iety of currents since 1he mid-nineteenth centu1y can be compared to the delta oJ' a great river approacbing the sea, a similar metaphor of strearns com iug together and becoming une river can suggesl the convergence of lraditions. Prominent in this convergence have been commercial pop musicians who create music for classical ensembles, gcru-es, or recorei labels. Paul McCart • ney brought classical influences from Ba roque music to John Cage, as well as electronic music. into his work with tbe Beatles. and !ater brought his pop sensibilities to classical genres in works like the Liverpool Oratorio (1991) and th e orchestral a nd chorai pieceStandingStone (l 99--z).

Crossing and hybridization of traditions was taking p lace not just within Western music b ur also between \Vestem and non-\Ves tern traditions, as people or1ali cont inents beca me more famiJ iar with each othe1.-s music. Closely linked to the globalization of music was World Beat. a term referring to African popular musics that reached international audiences.

KRONOS QUARTET The Kronos Q uartet is both one of the leading string quartets in the world and one of the classical ensembles most dedicated to performing a wide range of music. Formed in Seattle in 1973, they underwent severa! changes of personnel. then took up residence in San Francisco in 1978 with the players shown in Figure 38.3. While the members of the quartet are expert performers on their instruments. they approach music with an eclec ticism that is far from traditional string quarteis. and with the energy and informal garb of a rock band. They have become the most widely known and heard ensemble for contemporary classical music, in part because they appeal to audiences outside the worlds of classical music or "new music• and perform such a diverse array of pieces. Kronos carne to prominence in the 1980s with recordings that induded rock star Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze; jazz by Thelonious Monk and Bill Evans: modernist works from earlier ln the century by Bartók, lves. Webern. Shostakovlch, and Crumb: and music- much of it commissioned by Kronos-by contemporary composers from John Zorn and Ástor Piazzolla (discussed
ÇiG U RE 38.3,
above) to Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, Arvo Part. and Alfred Schnittke (discussed later in this chapter). Later albums include medieval music by Perotinus (Viderunt omnes, NAWM 19) and Machaut (Kyrie from his mass, NAWM 26a). blues by Willie Díxon. Mexican music. movie soundtracks, lndian movie music (known as Bollywood). music of central Asia, and works by Sigur Rós. a post-rock band from Reykjavík. lceland. The quartet has also performed on recordings by the Dave Matthews Band. Nine lnch Nails. Nelly Furtado. and many others.
The quartet has commissioned and premiered over seven hundred new works. ln 2003, in celebration of the quartet's thirtieth anniversary, they initiated a new program that commissions works From composers under the age of thirty. 1n association with the quartel. the Kronos Performing Ares Association ·continually re-imagines the string quartel experience." Through the association. Kronos mentors and collaborates with other artis ts and includes educational concerts and activities in its touring schedule. The quartet has become one of the most inAuential and formidable groups of our time.

States have created music in the WesLem classicaJ trad i tion that represents a hybrid withAsian lraditions. Bright Sheng (b. 1955), shown in Pigure 38.4, stud ied piano as a boy in Jus native Shangh ai. Sent lo the prov ince or Qingbai in his 1eens during Lhe Cultural Revolution, he learned and co llected folie music tJ1ere. He then earned degrees in composilion at the Shanghai Conservatory and in New York, where he studied with Leonard Bernstein and Chou Wen - chun15 (b. 1923). a sluelenl of Varêse. He has made his career in the Uniteel States. He seeks to integrate elements of Asi:an and \Vestem music while respecling the integrity of each. inspired by the attempts ol'Bartók lo do the sarne with eastern European folk and Western classical music. ln the solo cello suiteSeven Tunes Heard in China (1995), Sheng joins lhe European tradition of lhe Bach cello suites-with sequences, douhle stops. anel implied polyphony- to the playing style of Chinese bowed string instruments. markeel by grace notes , glissandos, sudclen dynamic changes, and ílexible rhytbm. ln the ftrst movement, Seasons (NAW M 209), the mostly pentatonic Chinese tune used as a source is fragmented anel spun out using both Baroque anel modernist methoels, including polytonality. The result blenels together fun damental aspects of Chioese, \Vestem classical, anel modem music. Several oilier composers have pursued parallel pailis, including Chen Yi (b. 1953) and Zhou Long (b. 1953). The best known oí this group is Tan Dun (b. 1957), who learned to play tradiüonal sLring instruments in bis native China, then-like Sheng and the others-moved to New York in the 1980s and stu.elieel with Chou Wen- chung at Columbia University. Iniluenced by John Cage a.nel other experimencal composers, he has combined Chinese instruments and non-Western vocal timbres with Westem techniques in works such as the hlm score for Crouching Tiger. Hidden Dragon (2000) as well as Water P(l$sion ajier St. Matthew (2000) for soloists, chorus, and orchestra , commissioneel to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach. A similar union of Western and non-Westem styles anel sensihilities can be founel in other composers' works. White ManSleeps (1985) for stringquartet by South African native Kevin Volans (b. 1949) draws on African traelilions, and Songs ofSea and Sky (1987) for clarinet and piano by Australian composer Peter Sculthor pe (b. 1929) incorporates or imitatesAhoriginal melodies. ln the final ana lysis. ali the works descri bed in lhis section are at th e sarne time hybrids anel quintessentially Western. representing new instances of the centuries- olel capaci ty of Ule Westem tradition to absorb foreign elements and arrive ata new syntbesis, as in lhe merging of F'rencb. ltalian. anel English styles into an international language in the fifteenth ce ntury (see chapter 8) or of various s1yles and habits into the cosmopolitan icliom of the Classic era (see chapters 20- 23). These recent works go beyonel nineteenth - century exoticism in the respect they show for the intrinsic value of the non-Western traditions on wbich they draw.

DIGITAL TECHN O LOGI ES IN T HE 1980 s ln the 1970s and early 1980s, music joined the digital revolution. Inventors devised a method for translating sound into a coded series of on-off pulses, or ls and Os, in the same way that computers stored and transmitted data. Soon digital processes were replacing older ones. known as analog because they rely on creating an analogue of the soundwaves, such as the undulations in the groove of a record. By the 1980s. musicians were using digital synthesizers, as in Figure 38.5, instead of the older analog <levices that produced sounds generated from or processed by electrical circuits. Because digital processes produced and recorded sounds as streams of numbers. musical sounds could be reproduced and controlled precisely. Electronic keyboards combined with computers made synthesized music accessible to musicians everywhere. Through computers. composers could control ali the parameters of pitch. timbre. dynamics, and rhythm, and the characteristics thus digitally encodeei could be translated directly into music through MIDI (Musical lnstrument Digital Interface). Some musicians combined live performers with synthesized or computer-generated music into a performance medium that is now commonplace. Using software programs that respond to music, the composer devises formulas that are then played on a synthesizer, digital piano, or acoustic instrument. ln this way. a musician can generate imitative or nonim itative polyphony. rhythmic or melodie ostinatos. heterophony, and a variety of other textures by playing
on a synthesizer keyboard in "real time·-that is, as actually played and heard. rather than laboriously prepared in advance and tape-recorded, as electronic music was in the 1950s. Vinyl records, the primary means of distribution for decades. gave way in the 1980s to compact discs (CDs), which were smaller, more durable, and able to reproduce music digitally, offering greater fidelity. Thousands of recordings first released on 78- or 33-rpm records were reissued on CDs. making an entire century o f recorded sound more widely accessible than ever before. Portable playback devices with headphones or earbuds made it possible to carry music of one's own choice everywhere.

As a resull. they were adopted by a ,vide range of musicians. amate1uand professional alike, work:ing in traditions from classical to popular music. One signiticant technique is sctmpling, a process of creati ng new compositions by patching together digital ch unks of previously recorded music. Allhougb sampling raises copyright concerns. il has been used extensively in hip hop (see below) and other forms ofpop music, as well as in experimental, avant-garde. and classical concert music. Advances in computing anel the mini.aturizalion of the computer have offered many new possibililies, explored by composers whose music is pa1'l experimentation with technology anel part sound sculpture. One of füe pioneers ol' computer music is Charles Dodge (b. 1942). whoseSpeech Songs 0972) features computer-synthesized vocal sounds. mixing lifelike imitations of speech witb transformations that change vowels into noise or natural inflections into melodies to create a word-based music well suited to the surrealistic poetry he uses as a text. Paul Lansky (b. 1944) developed his own :software to createcomputer works. He manipulates recorded sounds, sucb as speecb in Six Fantasies on a Poem by Thomas Campion (1979) and Smalltalk (1 '988) or highway traffic noises in Ni.ght Traffic (1990). transforming them beyond immediate recognition and using them as a kind of pitched percussion. Despite lhe unusual sound sources, his mt1sic draws on pop traditions, with tona l hannonies, regular meter. propulsive beat. and layered syncopated rhythms. A veiy different aesthelic is pu1·sued at Lhe Ins titui de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/ Musique (lnstitute for Acoustic and Musical Research and Coordination) in Paris, one of the premier centers foi· compute r music in Europe, fou"n ded by Pierre Boulez and opened in 1977. In lnhamionique (1977) and other works written during bis time as director of the IRCAM computer music departmem, Jean-Claude füsset (b. 1938) uses the computer to mediate between live voices or acoustic instniments and syntbesized or electronically processed sound. He has continued to design new sounds, exploring Lhe intesaclion of sound waves, harmonics. timbre, and other basic elements of sound" The work ofthese three composers only begins to illustrate the potential of computer music. In addition, computer software for notating and publisbing music. such as Finale and Silielius, beca me availahle in the late 1980s and 1990s and is now widely used by ,c omposers and arrangers in ali branches of music.

of the late 1950s and early 1960s to accompany a leen drama set in that era. But most striking was the retllrn to foJJ -scale symphonic scores organized around leitmotives. The music by John Williams (b. 1932) for the six Star Wars movies (1977-2005) was arguab ly as impo11ant as the actors in conveying the dramatic acrion. Symphonic movie soundtracks became hot -selling recon.lings, outpacing ali other orchestral music and raising the stalure o i' l'ilm composers . Some compose rs arranged their fi lm scores as concert works. Among the mosl ambitious was The Lord of the Rings: Symphony inSix Movemerits (2004) by Howard Shore (b. 1946), drawn from his scores for the movie trilogy The Lord of the Rings (2001 - 2003).
TRENDS The broadetúng conception of musicas an ar!, lhe convergence of formerly distinct types of music. the blending ofWestern and non -Western elcments, Lhe application of new technologies, and lhe growing interaction of music witb other media are justa few of the trends apparent in recent music, butthey are characteristic in crossing or weakening boundaries between n-aditions. Other crends resulced from pressures within tradlt.ions. The strong ide11rificatio11 of 1950s anel l 960s teenagers with rock aJJd pop music prompted a search by smaller social groups for a music to call their own. They were abet ted by a popular music industry that was eager. as always. to exploit new markets. As a result, the popular tradition became fragmented. Meanwhile, in the classical tradition, modernism and the search for individual styles-the centra l theme of twentieth -century classical music-continued strong. prompting new approaches. The study of sound color led to che new trend of spectral music, and an awa reness of the continui ng presence of historical styles combined with the breakdown of a common musical language stimulated a new self-conscious polystylism. At the sarne lime, the desire of some composers to connect with listeners who were unsympathetic to modernist or avant-garde music prompted a search for more accessible languages. including minimalism and neo-Romanticism. Thus. ironically. while in many musicians' work popular and classical music were converging, in other respects each lradition conti.n ued to break apart int.o more and more diverse streams.
As lhe supply of music has increased and choices have became more varied, the a mount of music com mon to all members of a sociery has diminished . The days are over when ali of America hea.rd lhe songs of Irving Berlin, or 1he Beatles were famous a round the world. lnstead, popular mus ic has spli ntered into .niche markets and competing trends, each identili.ed with particu lar social groups. Some trends won widespread, though usually short-lived, popltlarity, whilc others rernained lhe property of speci:lic groups. Th.e following sampling of a few popular music lrends in No11hA.merica and Europe after 1970 is not an attempt to survey the whole of popular music, which would be beyond the scope of lhis book. but may begin to suggest the ways various segments of society built a group identily by sharing a common music. ln the 1970s, a new style of dance mus ic known as disco developed in New York clubs lhat catered primarily to African Americans. Latinos, and gay men. then become an international craze. CJubgoers valued lhe steady meter an<l unil'orm dance tempo of disco songs, which allowed disk jockeys to move smoothly from song to song and the dancers to keep movingwithout interntption. Lush orchestrations anel slick production pleased the ea1· while the relemless beat moved the body, joining glamour, fun, and sexuality in an intoxicating hrew. Disco ,·eached its height of popu larity with the f, lm Saturday Nighi Fever (1977) and the accompanying soundtrack by lhe Bee Gees. Another 1970s trend was punk. a har<l- driving style voicing teenage alienation. The most notorious punk band, tbe Sex Pistols, popularized edgy fashions such as safety pios through flesh and preached nibilism i.n their lyrics. Most punk musicians were largely tmtutored. preferring raw. unskilled sounds to th.e virtuosity and smooth produetion of rock and disco. New Wave musicians like Blondie and Ta lking Heads fol lowed closely on the heels of punk. sharing some of its nihilism withom disdaining musical skill. and won wiclercommercial success. Jndie rock (or independent rock), a catch-all lerm for rock music set apa11 from the mainstream. was nurtured by college and independent radio stations and performing venues, then carne to domina te in the early 1990s thanks to grunge rockers from Seattle. sucb as Nirvana. Soundgarden, and Pea,·l Jam. Grunge combü.nccl the nihilism of punk and rhe electric-guitar-laden souncl of heavy metal with intimate lyrics and dresseddown fashions (especially flannel) . Nirvana's 1991 song S111ells Like Teen Spirit brought grunge to national a tten!ioo. Each or these styles became an etllblem foryouth of a certain age.while offending or being incomprehensible to most of their elders. Hip hop, also called rap. emerged in the 1970s as the music of hip hop culturc. an AfricanAmerican w·ban youth cult111re th.at originated al block parties in the South Bronx neighhorhood of New YoTk. DJs (disc jockeys) isolated the percussive break passages on soul, funk, and disco 1·ecordings and looped them (played them repeatedly. using two turnrables) for dancers. stirnulating the elaborate and athler ic dance style known as breaking or breakdancing. Over these breaks a rapper or MC (master of ceremonies) recited or improvised lyrics, in a tradition with roots in earlier AfricanAmerican, African, anel West Indian practices.

rapped (or sometimes sung) lyrics over music mostly composed of samples from earlier recordings. As il spread to otber cities and recordings, hlp hop branched into mtthip le types, includinggangsta rap, celeb rating lawlessness, anel political hip hop or conscious rap. which voiced the woes of inequality and racism and addressed social and political issues. With songs like Fight the Power, the rap gro up Public Enemy, shown in Figure 38.8, led the ran.ks of conscious rap in the late 1980s and early 1990s. ln a par:all el to the discovery of rhythm and blues by white teens in the l 950s. rap became the popular music of a generalion of white suburban teenagers, especially males a11racted to its heavy beat and themes of ma te dominance.

West lndian. and LatinAmerican music-roaking. Other types of music served to foster group feeling among particular segroents oí society but rarely attracted the attention of outsiders. For example, Lhe movemen t calledwomen's nrnsic encompasses songs in various s tyles, often fo lk-influenced, with texts that reflect a feminist perspective. Nu11ured by concert circuits organized by women outside the usual venues and by annual l'estivalslike the Nationa!Women's Music Festival, the movement developed its own roster of headlin ers beginning in the l 970s. indud ingsinger-songwriter Holly Near (b. 1949) and classical composer Kay Ganiner (1941-2002). and its own recording companies such as Olivia Records. More widely known is contemporary Christion music. which uses currenl popular styles lo convey evangelical Christian themes. As is true for wome1ú music, the message is more important than the style in deftning this type of music.

The types of popular music listcd here are only a few or the many vari eties currem since 1970, which range from the acoustica Uy overwhe lming
Composers of art music have also cultivated a varied range of styles and approaches. One of the most prominent trends since the l 970s has been 111ini111a lis111, in which materiais are reduced to a minimum and procedures simplifaed so that what is going on in the music is iromediatcly apparent. Minimalism bep;an in the early l 960s as an avam-p;arde aesthelic focused oo the musical processes themselves but over time became a widely used and popular technique. capable of a wide range of exp ressive contenl. Composers of minimalis t works absorbed inlluences from rock, African music. Asian music, tonality, and ftn ally Romanticism, to create what has been ca ll ed the leading musical style of the late twentieth century. Art critic Richard Wollheirn coined "minimal art" in 1965 as a tenn for ari that reduced materiais and forro to fundamentais a.nd was not intended to e,qiress feelings or convey the artist's state of mi nei. [t represented a reaction against the complexity. density. irregularity. and expressive intensity of postwar abstract expressionism, in favor of simplicily, clarity, and regularüy in a.nworks that do not require interpretation. Minimali:st artworks often feature a Tepetitive patte rn of simple elements. For example. Carl Andre's 64 CopperSquares (I 969) consists of sixty-four squai-e copper plates laid on the iloor in a square, anel Frank Stella's paintingHyeMS!-Omp (1962). shown in Figure 38.9, forros a spiral pattern from straight tines anel bands ofbright color. Such ai1 focused on its materiais, maki.ng it p:u1 of the avant-gai·de concept art of the 1960s. A parallel movement was nunured among musicians in New York City and in the California countercu lture. Lin ks between early minima list composers and artists were ve1y strong, and performances often took place in at1 galleries and lofts rather than traditional concert venues. In parallel with minima list art , minimalist composers wer e reacting against the complexity, density, anel sheer difnculty of recem modernist music. from the chance music of Cage to the serialist music of Babhitt, Stockhausen, and Boulez anel the virtuoso works of Carter anel Serio. lnslead of overwhelming the listener with unfamiliar conte nt anda rapidly changing musica l surface, minimalist composers recluced the amou nt of material and the pace of change to a mini mum and inviled lisleners lo focus on the small changes lhal do occur.

FROM AVANT-GARDE TO WIDESPREAD APPEAL
Steve Reich
While Young remained an avant-garde experimentalist and Riley moved toward rock music, three other Ame ricans brought minimalist procedures into art music intended for a broael audience. Steve R.eich (b. 1936). shown in Pigu re 38. l O. developed a quas i-canonic procedure in which musicans play the sarne material out of phase with each olh.er. Like Riley. he began in lhe eleclronic sludio. He created Come Out (19/ílí) by superimposing tape loops of a spoken phmse ("come out to show them") in such a way that one loop was slightly shorter and thus gradually moved ahead of the other, an effect called phasing. As the texture grows from two to four to eight simultaneous loops, each out of phase with i-be others. we
can no longer hear the words. only their constituent vocal sounds (especially tbe consonants '·k," "m,'' anel "sh" anel the vowels "uh" and ''oh"), each endlessly repeating io its own plane of sound. ln Piano Plu,se (1967). whose opening measures are shown in Example 38. l, Reich applied a similar idea to a work for two pianos. Botb pianists repeat Lhe sarne figure in unison severa! times, then one gradually pulls ahead until that performer is exactly one eighth-note ahead of the other (at measure 3 in the example). and they repeat the figure severa! times in rhythmic synchronizationbut melodically out of phase. This process is repeated twelve times, proch1cing a different series of harmonic com bin ation s each time the parts slip into synchrony. until the two parts are again in melodie unison: then the same process is used for a figure of e ight notes and then one of four notes. As the opcning melody rcpeats and moves out of phase with itself. il seems to split imo two planes, the notes in its upper range (b'. cf. and d") moving in one melodie stream. its lower notes (e'andh') in another. each rip pling in constant variation. The fascination in music like tbis lies in observing gradual changes and the many possible pe1·mutations of very simple ideas. The processes tliat underlie the composition are revealed for every listener EX AM PLE 38.1,

to h ear and experience. Sucb music is noL intended 10 be eiq)l·essive, b11t the moments when the melodies c]jck into phase can be enormously satisfying, like a resolution lo consonance after a long dissonance. Reich fonned his own ensembleand was able to makea livingby pel'Íorming, toul'Íng, and recording his works. Much of hjs music in the l 970s, such as Drumrning (J 970-71). was percussive. superimposing layers of &guralion in ways lhat parallel African drummiog, one source oi' bis inspira1ion. He attl'actecl a wide range of listeners, drawingaudiences accustomecl lO jazz, rock, and pop music as well as classical music, as lhe diatonic material and rapid pulsalion gave his music wide appeal. By the 1980s, Reich no longer subscribed to a minimal ist aes lhelic, instead using minimalist techn iques to create large-sca le works with signilicant emotional contenl. often drawing on his Jewish heritage. Tehillim (1981) is a setting of psalm texts in the original Hebrew for four singers and orchestra, using rhytbmic and me lodie canons at the unison in constantly changing meters over pulsing percussion and sustained diatonic hui d issonant harmonies. Each of the first three sections uses different proceduc·es. and the fotll'th sectio n (NJ\\VM 210) combines all tbese techniques, adcling layers anel building to a cli mactic conclusion. ln the lirst and last sect ions, as me lodies ftrst hearcl alone are treated in two- part and then four- part canons at the unison in repeatingloops, it becomes pl'Ogressively ha.rder t0 follow a single pa.rt, and we begin to hearthe repeating melodie high points as a sepa ra te plane of sound in a way that parallels the eJ'fects of phasing in Come Out and Piano Phase. A piece as rich and com pi ex as this can harclly be called minimalist. yet il shows lhe applicaüon of minimalist techniques in ~he realm of art music. For this reason, Reich's musi.c since 1980 is sometimes called postminimalist, reflecting the influence of minimalist procedures while moving beyond the original minirnalist aesthetic to inch1de traditional methods (such as canon and harmonic moti.on). more varied materia l, and renewed expressivity. His la ter works include DiJferent Trains (l 988) for string quartel and tape. a moving reflection on the Holocaust, and The Cave (1993) for voices, ensemble, and video. which explores lhe rclationship of Judaism. Christianity. and lslam to each other and to thei r common patriarch Abraham . Over the course of bis career, Reicb has moved from avant- garde experimentation to a focus on co11struclion in the 1970s anel Jinally to using rhe tools he bad developed in wo1·ks that convey meaning anel are intended to frnd a p erma nent place in the repertoire. Philip Glass (h. 1937) had puhlished twenty works by the time he completed degrees at the University of Chicago and The JuiJliard School and frn ished studies witb Nadia Boulanger. but withdrew all of them after working with the lndia n sitarist Ravi Shankar in Paris. Glass's works since the mid 1960s have bcen deeply influenced by the rhy1hmic -organization of lndian music. They emp hasize melodiousness, consonan ce, and the s imp le ha r monic progressions and abundant ampli fication of rock music, and have won Glass a large anel diverse following from rock enthusiasts lo classical lisreners.

The opera avoids narrative , has no s ung text other than solfcge syllables (the modem descendants of solmfaationsyllables; see chapter 2), and involves repetilious and commonpla ce stage geshnes that play with the viewer's sense of time and conceprs of an. The music consis ts primarily of repealed li.gures. mostly arpeggiated lriads. pe rformed by an orchestra oi' elect ro ni c keybo;ird ins lrumenLs, woodwinds, anda solo violinist. The work of'fered a completely different experience from lraditional opera. raising Fundamental questions ahout the nature of opera, and became one of the most influential works of music theater in lhe past severa! decades. Other operas followed, including Saiyagraha ( 1980), abou t Gandhi 's nonviolent struggle for lndian independence, andAkhnaten (1984), ahout an Egyptian pharoa.h martyred for his mono lheislic worship ofthe s un god. 11ie Voya.ge (1992) , commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera co commemorate rhe f1ve hundredth anniversa,y of Columbus's voyage to the New World. blends his signat ure style of multilayered oslinatos. rapid pulse. and slowly changing lona! or modal ha rmonies with the standard orchestra. rec italives, anelarias of lhe operatic tradition. Glass's app1·oach to opera served as a model for many later composers. Glass also excrciscd a profound influcnce on álm mus ic. His focus oo repetition was perfect ly suited to Godfrey R.eggio's ftJm trilogy, Ko:ra<misqatsi (1982), Powaqqatsi (1988), and Naqoyqatsi (2002), composed of images withoul dialogue or narralion. \Vith modilications. the concept works equally well for narrative movies and has been adopted by other composers. Glass has scorecl over rwo doze n ii lms, garnering Academy Award nominatioos for Kundun (1997). 71te Hours (2002), andNotes on aScandal (2006). He adapted music from some oflüs nlms for chamberworks , and has also wrilten a series of symphonies, two of which-No. 1, Low (1992) and No. 4, Fferoes (1996)-are based on tbemes from albums by experimental pop musicians David Bowie and Brian Eno. John Adams (b. 1947), shown in Figure 38.11 , bas traced a path from minimal ism to a personal postminimalist style that bl enclsminimalist tecbniqueswitb a variety of other approaches. His lirst major composition, Phrygian Cates for piano (l 97778), is representative of the period when minimalism was moving beyond its avantgarde origins to become a style rather than an aesthetic. Except for a midcUe section of s hifting sustained choreis, this twentyfour-minute piece relies almost entirely on quick repetitive figurations, primarily in dialonic mo eles.

and Phrygian scales on E. and so on. These changes give the work its title. and they convey the sense of a journey through a gradually changing environment. Adams continued to use minhna list techniques in his la ter works, but also emhraced elements from popular and classica1 music. Harmonielehre (1 985). a symphonic suite that d raws on Romantic and modernist styles. was greeted by one news magazine with the enthusiastic headline, "The Heart ls Back in the Game."" The f1rst movement begi ns with loud, repeated E-minar chords, then moves thl'Ough a minimalist landscape to arrive at a middle scction in which twillering ostinatos in the upper register accompany a tragic, almost expressionist, long-breathed melody that recalls late Mahler or Berg. Adams's opera Nixon in China, (1987). on Nixon's 1972 trip to China to open relations with the cornrnunist regime, treats ils up-to -date subject with the formality of a Baroque hfatorica l opera whHe applying minimalist techniques. Sbort, driv ing, pulsaling ideas. insistently repeated. constantly evolve. using an orchestra dominated by brass, winds. and percussion. Typical of this idiom from the l 980s is the orchestral fanfare Slum Ride in. a Fast Machine (1986; NAWM 21 1), wh ich has become one of Adams·s mos! frequently played pieces. A sense of harmonic progression. activated by ostinatos and repeating chords. moves the music forward, and wide-ranging melodies emerge to dominate ihe texture. culminating in expansive three-part coimterpoint over slowly changing but rapicliy pulsing harmonies. The melodie element tha t eme rgerl in Adams's works of the 1980s has grown stronger over time. ln Tlte Wound Dresser (l 988) for baritone and orc hestra, the poem by Walt Whitman relates his experiences as a nu rse ca ring for wounded soldiers in the Civil War. The instruments provide a background of modal harmonies, slowly repeating figures, and ga tes between pitch coll ecti ons, drawing on the minima list techniques of Adams's earlier music. Butthe focus ison thesinger's melody, alternatingwith melodie orchestral interludes. and the slow pace and Romantic harmonies and orchestra1 pale tte convey a mood very different from his previous works . The Vio lin Concerto (1993) has a similar texture, with a rhapsodic melody in the solo violin unfolding over more rebrular, endlessly moving ftguration in the orchestra. The tradit ional elements. incl uding virtuoso playing. caclenzas, and the chaconne and toe cata in the latter two movements. are more prominent than the minimalist techni ques. By integrati ng traditional harmonic a nd co ntrnpu ntal procedures with minimalist ones, Adams has cleveloped a personal style of great tlexihility anel emotional power. ma rkecl by gre.ater varie.ty and range. than most of his contemporai-ies. The diversity and depth of both his style and his suhject matter have won Adams a broad anel enthusiastic audience. Minimalism has had a profound inlluence. Since the music of Reich, Glass,
981
and Adams achieved popularity in the 1970s :md l 980s, m.inimalist techn iques have grown increasingly common in popular rnusic and ftlm music, leading some to claim that minimalism is the common musical language of the late iwentieLh and early twenty- l'u-st centuries. Many composers in the classical tradition have adopted some elements of minimalism , such as repetition, d rones. gradual processes of change. reduction in complexity. or modal b,1.rmo nies, while rejecting others. For so me, lhe gi-eatest impact of minima lism was the permission it gaveto wl'ite music that was comprehensible anel appea ling. By refuting (o r simply ignoring) the nmeteenth-century idea of pl'Ogress in musical style-a notion that underlay tbe strand of modernism that led from the New German School through Schoenberg to Babbin, Stockhausen, and Boulezminimalism hclped to create an atmosp bere in wh.ich anythingwas possib le.
Modernism and lndividualism Among lhe possibilities, of course, were continuations of modernism, in a vari ety of directions. Co mposers of the gene ration who dominated modern ist and avant-garde composition in the l 950s and 1960s were still active, anda younger generation bom during or after World War II explored new ideas and developed highly individual approaches. Several postwar modernists extended their personal id ioms into the late twentieth or ea rly twenty -nrs t centuries. Milton Babbitt developed further extensions of serialism, becoming more prolill.c chan ever alter devising "superarrays.. oí interrelated rows in the ear ly l 980s. Karlheinz Stockhause n spent bis !ater years composing Licht (Light. 1977- 2003) . a massive cycle of seven o pe ras named for the days of the week and composed using serial melody-formulas associated with the tllree main characters, Eve, Lucifer. and the archangel Michael. Pierre Boulez focused on elaborating severa1 of bis older pieces in new guises and on work with IRCAM on music for acoustic instruments with live electronics that transform the sounds of the instruments as they play, as in Répons (1980- 84) for six soloists. chamher orches1 ra, and electronics. But some in the older generation changed their approach more radically. Gyorgy Ligeti. shown in Figure 38.12, had been a leader in lhe posl\var exploration oftextu re and process (see chapter 37). He felt his compositional options constrained by the doctrines of modernis m and the avant-garde hut found new possibilities in the musicof minünalists like Rileyand Reich and in reclaim ing aspects of the nineteemh-century heritage, includi ng Chopi.n; all tllree 3re cited in the title of his 1976 piece for two pianos Self Portrait with Reich ond Riley (and Chopin i~ alM there). Between 1985 and 2001. Ligeti wrote a series of études for solo piano that comhined elements of his earlier music, which focused on dissonant textures that gradually change,

J'.,AWM 212). the ideas are essen· lially simple and familiar: descending ch.romalic scale segmems that enter in succession and overlap to form eborda i sonorities. Bu t they move so quickly thal they fuse together into an undulating texture in which Lhe individual lines become d iflicu lt to hea r, reca lli ng the micropo lyphony of Ligeti'sA1mospheres (see chapter 37). Ligeti varies the texture tbrough the number of s im ulta · neous lines. the interval between lhem, their range. and the dynamics, and at limes overlays melodies anel choreis. The constant repetition of simple material reflects the influence of minimalism, while the texture of overlapping contin uous lines co mes from electronic music concepts elesigneel by Jean- Claude Risset al IRCAM (see NA\VM 212 commenlary) . The piece is novel, thoroughly modernist, and consistent with Ligeti's previous work, but at the sarne time it is elramatic, emotionally expressive, anel immediately comprehensible. This comhinalion of lhe most engaging as pects from mod ernism, minimalism, and Romantic virtuoso music has given Ligeti's études a w-ide appeal to audiences and to performers, wbo l'm<l these études a formi· dable but rewarding challenge. Amongyoungcr composers, rcsearch at lRCAM and elsewherc on analysis of timbre and sound spectra led to a new trend know.o as sp ectral 11111sic or spectralism. wbich is nota style but an approach to sound and to composition. ln reaction to the abstraclion of serial music. spectraJism Focuses on perception, acoustics, and tone color. The timbre of a musical pitch is a com· bination of a fundamental note and its overtones, each ata specif1c frequcncy and intensity in comparison to the fundamental and to each other; a violi n sounds different from a clarinet playing the sarne note because thc combina· rion of overLones is elifferent. Because each frequency and level of intensity ca n be representeel nu merica lly, a timbre can be elepicted by a soun el spec· trum or sonogram and analyzed mathematically. and complex sounds can be created by juxtaposing spectra through processes characteristic of electronic nmsic, such as ring moclu lation. Spectral music centers on tbe propcrties of sounel identilied by such analysis. using acoust ic instntments to recreate the ha:rmonic relationships within the sounds analyzed. Spcclralism was fi.rst devcloped by French composers including Gérarcl Grisey (1946-1998) and Tdstan Murai! (b. 1947), cofounders of Ensemb le L'ltinéraire in 1973.

Mu rray Schaf.er, what was most impo rlant was to frnd ex-pressive means that conveyecl a personal vision. Sofia Gubaiclulina (b. 193 1), show·o in Figure 38. 13, was born in the 'ratar Republi c, an au tono· mous region in central Russia. four h undred miles east of Moscow. Her childhood there, together with her combinecl Tatar, Russian , Po lish, and Jewish heritage. led to a profound interes l in blending sounds and influences. She once said, " l am the place where East aod West meet." Despile the ofti.cial atheism oi' tbe Soviet Union, almost ali her works have a spiritual dimension. She came to inter· national prominence with ber violio concerto OJJ'ertoritun (1980. rev. 1982 and 1986), writteo for violinist Gidon K.remer, wbich captures lhe coocept of self-sacriftce-para lleling that of Jesus on the cross, or of tl, e composer for the sake of hcr music-by presenting. deconstructing. and reconstructing. note by note, the theme Frederick the Great offered to Johann Sebastian Bach, who maele it the central idea of his Afasical Offering (see p. 441 and Exa mple 19 .3). The ftve movements of her sona la Foi- violin and cello. Rejoice! (1981) , were inspired by eighteenth-century devo lional texts. According to the com· poser, the sonata expresses the transcendence from ordinary reaJity to a state of joy anel relies particularly 011 the passage from a fundamental note to its harmonics to embody this journey of consciousness. The nfth movement (NAWM 213), inscribecl wilh the text "Listen to the still small voice wilhin," is a study in chromatics. tremolos, anel ha rmon ics. pa11icularly glissandos from low fundamental notes in the cello to theiT higher harmonics. ln these anel other pieces, Gubaidulina's music is both moclemisl. in ils combination of a higbly individual musical pcrsonality with evocations of lhe classica 1 tradition. and immediately appealing through its spiritual resonances and beautiful surface textures and timbres. A differcnt Ilavor is convcyed by the music of LouisAoclriessen (b. 1939), the most signiftca nt Dutch composer of the postwar era and a major influence on younger composers in Europe and the United States such as the Bang 011 a Can group.

He rurned his back on orchestral music and writes insteael for ensembles that combine orchestral instruments with sounds from big- band jazz and rock music, such as saxophones, synthesizer, electric guitars anel bass guitars. anel drum sets.

du•·ing the Revolution, anel a play stagecl fo.r their entertainment; the ghosts are rendered with modern serial music and timbrai effects, while the play is set in a style based on Mozart operas. Thc range of styles and influcnces evoked in 1his opera is immense, including chant, Broadway, Schoenherg, Stravins!...-y, and opera composers from Rossini to Penderecki. Corigliano's Symphony No. 1 (1989). a memorial to friends who died of AlDS. incorporates quotalions íro m some or I heir l'avorite pieces framed by deep ly exp ressive, oflen ang,y or tragic music clrawing on a variety of modem techniques. ln his Academy Award-wi nning score for the hlm 111e Red Violin (1998). which follows a violin from its maker through a series of owners to its auction in the present, Corigliano created a leitmotive for the violin and elevelopecl it into a series ofpieces representing the era and style of each owner, from an eighteenth-century concerto to Roma (Gypsy) musicand a nineleenlh-cent1uy virtuoso improvisation. Col'igliano aelapted the music for concert use in the Red Violin Chaconne (1997) and Red Violin Concerto (2007). The wittiest and mosl popular composer to use stylistic allusion is Peter Schickele (b. 1935). His works, such as his ôve string quartets (1983-98), are mostly tonal. They draw on a wide variety of st)'les, from Stravinsky 10 jazz and rock, and create form and expression through contrasts of style, mood, texture. faguration. timbre. dynamics, and other factors , sometimes using quotation for humorous effect. Heis bes1 known for bis music uoder lhe guise of P. O. Q. Bach, tlie supposed youngest soa of J. S. Bach wlio inherited none of his father's talent. This persona allows Schickele to spoof old music. its pedwming practice, anel musicologists. Performing convenLions go awry, as in the long-wincled co ntinuo accompaniment in the cantata lphigenia in Brooklyn (1964): bizarre instruments are fealureel, like the double-reed slide music stand. parodying the unfamiliar instruments called for in early music: and every stylislic expectation is violated, wüh hilarious resulls. For example, in lhe .. Howdy" Sympliony (1982)-a response to Haydn's Farewell Symphonythe ô.rst movement Allegro uses contrasts of style to delineate form. as in Classic-e ra music (see chapter 23), but here the styles range from Classic to vaudevi ll e, big-band jazz. and modernist dissonance; the witty incongrnit ies and surprises typical of Haydn become burlesque. \'i:lhether used for comic effect, to convey meanings through associations carried by existing music, to upend listener expectations, or to create clisjunctions that comment on our experience of time and histo1y, allusions to past styles gave audiences something familiar to hold onto, often even more directly than the use of quotation and collage (cliscussed ln chapter 37). For many listeners. such all usions made this music more engaging and easy to folfow than the unfamiliar sounds of modernist composers. ln another sense. however, polystylism-even if considered an aspect oi' postmodernism-was yet another kind of modernism. anel anotherwayforcomposers to engage the past while creating a distinctive voice of their own.

servato1ies, obtainingperformances for their music was increasingly difticttll. lt was often easierto win a commission for a new piece than to secure a second or third performance of an existing work. Few new compositions entered the repertory, and few listeners heard a recen1ly composed classical piece live more than once. ln some respects, the situation was like that of the eighteenth cenlury. when a concerto or symphony was seldom heard twice by the same listeners. Moreover, ata Lime when music was growing more plent ifu l and easy to access, the auclience for classical music seemecl to be sh rinking. Some composers. such as Babbitl and Perneyhough. took this situation as the price of artistic freedom and remained committed lo complex anel hermetic styles. But many and perbaps most composers of 1he time sought to altract wider audiences by writing mi1sic tha t could be appreciated on first hearing. Rouse, Mackey. Zorn. and others found one solution by incorporaling elements of pop11lai- m usic. Reich, Glass, anel Adams found anocher in minima lism. Other composers used a vari.ety of approacbes, often in !andem: modifying their modernisl idiom to make il more accessible: radically simplifying their material and proceclures: invoking extramusical imagery and meanings; or renovating nineteemh-century tonal Romanticism.
ACCESSIBLE MOD ERN ISM Some composers writingin a modernist idiom have made their music accessible by keeping the ideas and proced11res relatively simple and easy to grasp.For example, Ellen Taaffe Zwilich (b. 1939) joins continuous variation with oleler forma l devices of recurrence a nel contrast. Like Schoenbe rg, she presents the main idea ai the outset. then elaborates it through developing variation in which eve1ythinggrows Iogically from the initiaJ seed. Yet the basic ideais usu ally sirople and the text1u-es clear, making her music much easier to follow than Schoenberg's. A prime example is her Symphony No. 1 (1982). which won the ô.rst Pulitzer Prize in Music awarded to a woman. ln the ô.rst movement. ali the melodie material derives through variation from 1he initial interval of a dsing minor third , and tbe hannonies comliine tbircls to produce clissonant sonorities. The soft opening gesture. a threefold l'ising thircl with an accelerando. serves as a mouo that generates a gradital increase in tempo, dynamics, and density lo a centralAllegro, then toward lhe end [he musicslowsand chins to a quiet close. 111e gradual process of development is easy to hear, and the experience of listening is both intellectually and emotionally satisfying.

RAD ICAL SIMPLIFICATION Other composers comhined a radical simplif1catio11 of material anel proceelu res with a return to diatonic music. One stTain can be found in minima lism, discussed above. hut not ali music of this type fits the minimalist category. Estonian composer Arvo Part (b. 1935), shown in Figure 38.15, forged a highly individual. instantly recognizable style using lhe simples! materiais. following early neoclassical anel serial works. anel others that contrasteel modernist with Baroque styles. he turned to a study of Gregorian chant aud early polyphony. ln the 1970s, he devised a method he called tintinnabtili, after the bell-like sonorities it produced . lts essence li es in cou nterpoin t between n pitch-centered. mostly stepwise diatonic melody and one or more

Part's tintinnabuli technique and chorai style are exemplilied in bis Seven Magnificai Anti.phons (1988, rev. 1991. excerpts in NA\~[ 215 [F.

The altos recite the texl. phrase by pluase. on D. The other parls sound no tes of the D- minor triad, following stricl but simple rules reminiscent of early polyphony (see chapter 5). Toe bass and Jirst tenor surround the second· tenor melody, each singing the note of the 0-minortriad that is second closest to the melody note: thus, at the outset. we fmd the D below and the F above the melody's openingA. Meanwhile, the fu-st soprano sings the note from the triad that is nearest above the second soprano melody. The resitlting texture alter· nates between consonance and diatonic cLissonance. allowing for variety and dramatic cliniaxes within a stripped-down, pitch-centered style.

Using sitnpler ma terial and processes thal were easier to follow was one strategy composers used to make thefr music more accesssible, appealing, anel meaningfu l. Another was to in voke extramusical imagery, hoping that lisleners would accepl unusual sounds if lheir meanings were clear.

Having turned from serialism to quotation in the l 960s (see chapter 37), George Rochbergmoved on in the l 970s to use Romantic and early modernist styles for 1heir expressive polenlial. His String Quartel No. 5 (1978) is neo · Romanlic in three of its fl.ve movemen1s. Each movement is written in a consistem style, but the styles differ considerab ly between movements. The lirst movement is a sprightlysonataform inAmajor reminiscent oflate Beethoven o r .Schube rt ; the second, a sad E'-,-minor s low movement whose canons and loosely clissonanl harmonies recai! early Bartók; the third, a Beethovenian scherzo in A minor with a Mahlerian trio; the fourth. an atonal serena de that rescmhles works of Schoeoberg or Berg; and thc !inale. an energetic, con· stan1Jy developing, rapídly modulalingye1 tonal rondo in late Romantic s1yle, a.kin to Schoenberg's Pirst Quartel. The mixture of jdioms cha llenged the tradilional expeclation lhal music be stylistically uniform. bul even more radical was Rochberg's choice to reclaim styles of the past and use them in a who lehearted effort to make their resources his own without the clistancing eHects notable in Stravinsky's neocbssicism or Schniltke's polystylism. David Dei Tredici (b. 1937) emhraced neo·Romanticism for a different reason. Al'ter using atonal and serial melhods in lhe l 960s, he chanp;ed his sty le radically when he started to set excerpts from Lewis Ca rroll 's stories for children. feeling that their whimsy called for a direct. comprehensible presentation. Final Alice (1975), to a texl from the final chaplers of Alice·s Adventures in Wondertcmd, is scored for amplilied soprano and orchestra, with a contrasting "fol.k group" of banjo. mandolin. accorclion. and two soprano saxophones. The lush orcheslration gives lhe musica Romantic sound, as do the diatonic meloclies, rich harmonies, anel expressive use of dynamics anel rhythm to create exhilarating waves of music thal build, climax, and dissolve. The soprano narrates. plays ali lhe parts. and sings a series of arias. The cen • tral motive of the piece, a rising major sixth introduced by Lhe saxophones, is taken up by other instruments and becomes the fundamental interva l of "The Accusation" sung by the White Rabbit. shown in Example 38.4: a greater coocemration of rising sixths in a melody is hard to i magine. Through thís and other a rias, the orchestra and folkgroup accompany in a kind of nonsense tornality. with slightly off-kilter dance rhythms and multiple layers in differing tempos. Most of tbe music is tonal, ranging from folkli.ke episodes to an idiom reminiscent o i' Richard Strauss. But when Alice begins to grow larger, Del Tredici suggests the strange occurrence with atonal music, a twelve·tone motive. and the electronic sounds of the Theremin. By using tonal and atonal styles side by side for their expressive effect, Dei 'fredici renounced the

THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY Time and bistorical distance will tel1 whetber or not the year 2000 markecl the beginning of a new era in music. from our current vantage point, there seems to be more continuity than change from the final decacles of the last century through the second decade of our own, since most of the trends discussec\ in the previous chapter have continued, and what new styles and types of music emerged were often linked to the past. Toe most sigruncant changes have been in new technologies for rnaking and distrihuting rnusic, which have put unprecec\ented capabilities in the hands of anyone who wants to produce anel distribute music, thereby decentralizing the marketplace. One new technology, the 11wslutp. is an appropriate metaphor for the most characteristic feature of today's musical life, the mixing of elements from disparate sources to create something new.

It is still true that the greatest financial rewards for musi cians in popular or classical tradilions come through established instirulions of 1·ecording companies and concert manage me nt, a11d working musicians often struggle to earn much through online sales and royalties. But making lhe means of production widely available has decentralized the music industry and has opened new paths to success. One such palh is crowdsourcing. Using online platforms s uch as Kickstarler or ArtistShare, a munher of popular and classical artists have asked fans LO invest fmancially in thcir forthcoming projects ill l:lllrn for a certain stake, ranging from a single MP3 for a 99-cent donation to backstage passes and face time with the artist for a five- hundred -dollar donation.

Not unlike the way Prince Lobkowitz.

NNOVATIONS Music Technology for Everyone
S
ince the year 2000. the constantly improving capabilities of personal computers have made music-making easier. both creatively and logistically. As computers have become more powerful and more portable. professional and amateur musicians are increasingly making and recording mus ic outside of professional studios. Software has become available that increases the ability to create a variety of sounds and makes editing, altering, and manipulating recorded sound easier. Other new software allows users to turn nonmusical materiais into music, Such developments have helped produce a distinct yet diverse Ravor for music in the new millennium. The Internet grants musicians and their audience unprecedented access to music. Thousands of radio stations from around the world are available on the Internet Streaming services such as Pandora Internet Radio (which uses an algorithm to recommend and play music based on musica listene r already likes, launched in 2000) and Spotify (a browsable library of music from participating labels, begun in 2008) allow people to listen to music that they do not own. Since its launch in 2005. You Tube has become the primary Internet site for audiovisual material of any kind, induding music. Videos of musical performances from opera companies to local bands can be viewed online, as shown in Figure 39.2a & b, and professional and amateur musicians alike can upload their own performances for the world to see and hear. Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter provide ways for musicians to share their music and promote themselves to their audience at little to no cost. Audio distribution platforms such as ReverbNation.com (created in 2006) and SoundCloud (established in 2007) let musicians create a profile. upload their music. and communicate with fans. promoters.

festivais, record labels, and potential collaborators. These distribution platforms allow musicians to collaborate with other musicians they have never met; a singer can purchase an instrumental track from a producer and add his or her own lyrics, or post an a cappella track in pursuit of a producer to create an accompaniment for it. AII of these developments give musicians a greater amount of independence, making it easier for them to earn a living without management ora record contract. And audiences are exposed to more music than is provided by radio, television, and what they can purchase on LPs or CDs. Much of the music distributed through these systems is in the form of digitally compressed audio files. The first such format was the MP3, released in 1995. which uses an algorithm that finds and eliminates inaudible frequencies in music, greatly reducing the amount of space needed without impairing the perceived quality of the recording for most listeners; the resulting files are a fraction of the size of files in an uncompressed format such as WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) or AIFF (Audio lnterchange File Format). New file formats such as FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec. first released 2001) allow for compression. but retain the exact quality of the original recording. ln the past, musicians had to buy their digital instru · ments. audio processors, and recording equipment separately as hardware. Software equivalents now exist for many popular hardware devices that are as good as or better than their predecessors. Digital audio workstations (DAWs), originally hardware devices created in the late 1970s as an alternative to recording, mixing. and
editing with tape, now exist in a multitude of sofrware versions with a range of prices and features. DAWs can record both acoustic sound through microphones and digital sounds through MIDI , Notable DAWs include Audacity, Garage Band, Pro Tools, and Reason. Depending on their design, DA Ws also let musicians create music in real time, which they can then record using the sarne program, Many DAWs, through the use of plug-in com ponents, le t performer s coordinate as many instruments and audio processors as they can fit on their hard drive, allowing one person with a compu ter to create a seemingly endless variety of sounds without having to collect an extensive amount of equipment, and create finished pieces of music without a recording studio. While companies such as Korg have recreated their hardware synthesizers in software form, developers such as Native lnstruments and many independent programmers publish software synthesizers which can be operated by MIDI controllers and other input devices on a moderately powerful personal computer. Synthesizer software is available both as stand-alone programs for performance and recording, and as plug-ins to be used in tandem with DAWs. Audio processors allow for the sounds created by both digital and acoustic sources to be altered in terms of pitch. duration, timbre. and in many other ways. Auto-Tune, a popular audio processar, was developed by Antares Audio Technologies in 1997 as a hardware device and !ater as software in 2002. lt measures the pitch of sounds and then reassigns them to the nearest semi-tone in equal temperament. in effect correcting the pitch of the original sound. When certain settings are placed at maximum, Auto-Tune creates a distinct vocal effect popularized ln the late 1990s by Cher in the hit song Believe (1998) and in the late 2000s by T-Pain. Auto-Tune can also turn speech and other nonmusical sounds lnto musical pitches, which artists such as The Gregory Brothers have utilized in their YouTube "AutoTune the News" shorts. AII of these devices put !Ools that once were expensive and restricted to record ing studios and record companies into the hands of Individual musicians, pro· fessional or not. ln the nineteenth century, millions of amateur musicians played the piano or sang for their Families and friends or their own pleasure. ln the twentyfirst century, there are millions of amateurs using digital software to create music for their own enjoymenot and share it with the world,

The levei or pe1-formance has never been higher. And we have access to t he entire range of music from the pasl, often in outstanding performances informed by new uoderstand ing of how that music was originally performed-or, conversely, tak.ing a new and individual approach. There is truth in both perspectives. Liste ners eageno explore music from chan t to a piece premiering this evening have more available to them than ever, and performers and composers can use the new media to get their music out to the en t ire world. But whe n the Internet offers so much for free, gettiog paid for making music can be a challenge. And unless people are introduced lo a type of m usic by their families, in school, by friends, or by others around them, they may never care about it or even know it exists. Many institutions are meeting these challenges with innovative program ming and marketing. 0rchestras and chamber groups sponsor cducation and ouneach p rograms, give concerts for 1argeted audiences l'rom teens to toddle r s, offer pr e-concert lectur es and post-conce1i discussio ns, collaborate wit h pop and m ultimedia artists. and fmd other ways lo engage audiences and cultivate fans. The Metr opolitan Opera in New York reaches thousan ds ol'viewer s through live broadcasts in movie theaters, a nd universities str eam concerts and opera productions on the Internet. Conservatories and schools of music are adding courses in music business and entrepreneurship to enable iheir students to create careers for 1hemselves.

A GOLDE N AG E FOR CLASSICAL MUS IC? ln response to opinion pieces in The New York Times and elsewhere daiming that dassical music is dying, political commentator Heather Mac Donald suggests it is thriving.
1n many respects. we live in a golden age of classical music. Such an observation defies received wisdom, which seizes on every symphony budget deficit to herald classical music's imminent demise. But this declinist perspective ignores the more significant reality of our time: never before has so much great music been available to so many people, performed at leveis of artist:ry that would have astounded Berlioz and his peers. Students flock to conservatories and graduate with skills once possessed only by a few virtuosi. More people listen to classical music today. and more money gets spent on producing and dissem inating it, than ever before.... The declinists who proclaim the death of classical music might have a case if musical standards were falling. But in Fact, ºthe professional standa rds are higher everywhere in the world compared to 20 or 40 years ago." says James Conlon, conductor of the Los Angeles Opera. .. . The radical transformation of how people consume classical music [due to recordings] puts the current hand -wringing over an inattentive. shrinking audience in a different perspective. Beethoven·s Eroica Symphony premiered before an audience of 100 at most. These days. probably 10,000 people are listening to it during any given 24-hour period, either live or on record, estimates critic Harvey Sachs. Recordings have expanded the availability of music in astounding ways .... Recordings have also. it is true. taken a toll on the communal, participatory aspect of musicmaking. But the explosion of classical music on
the Internet has revived some of that communal element. The ever-expanding offerings of performances on YouTube. uploaded simply out of love. demons trate the passion that unites classicalmusic listeners. A listener can compare 15 different interpretations of "Lã ci darem la mano" [from Mozart's Don Giovanni] at the click of a mouse, all-amazingly-for free. Organized websites, such as the live classlcal-concert site lnstantEncore.com, are creating new ways of disseminating music that will undoubtedly reach new audiences. Even with recording technology's impetus for pas-
sive. private listening. the percentage of amateur musicians studying classical music has risen 30 percent over the last six years. from an admittedly small 1.8 percent to 3 percent. Many of those nonprofessional musicians, as well as their children, are uploading their own performances onto the Web. Contrary to the standard dirge, the classical recording industry is still shooting out more music than anyone can possibly take ln over a lifetime. Has the pace of Beethoven symphony cycles slowed down? We'II survive. ln the course of one month arrive a rias by Nicola Porpora. an opera by Federico Ricci. a sym phony by lldebrando Pizzetti-three composers previously known only to musicologists-Cherubini's C/1ant sur la Mort de Joseph Haydn. and Haydn's The Storm. This cornucopia of previously lost works is more than any of us has a right to hope for. The much-publicized financial difficulties of many orchestras during the current recession also need to be put into historical perspective. More people are making a living playing an instrument than ever before. and doing so as respected and well-paid professionals, not lowly drones. From Heather Mac Donald.

Osvaldo Colijov (b. 1960) grew up in Argentina in a Jewish immigrant fam ily bearinp; classical music, Piazzolla's nuevo ian_go, synap;op;ue music, and klezmer, aod has drawo oo alJ of them in his music. After studyiog with George Crumb, he has made his carcer in tlle United States. Among his bestknowu works is his Grammy Award-winning opera Aina.damar: Fountain of Tears (2005), on the 1936 m1Jrder of Span ish poet Pede1;co Ga rcia Lorca by the fascisls . The spellbinding score combines compute r music. musique concréle. and modernist dissonance wilh elements from Spanish llamenco music, Cu ban 1·hythms, and Latin American popu lar music. Such blending of classical, modero , aod popular traditions is a vital lreod in music of the last nfty years. as is the pointed juxtaposition of contrasting s tyles with in a single piece (see chapter 38), anel both are typical of Golijov. A s imilar fusion and polystylism is found in Golijov's La Pasión según San Marcos (The Passion according to St. Mark). composed for the Passion 2000 project, thro ugh whlch the Internalional Bach Academy in St uugart commemorated the 250 th anniversa ry of the deatb of Johann Se bastian Bach by commissioning settings of the Passion by four composers from arouncl the world: Golijov from the An1ericas, Sofia Cubaidulina from Russ ia, Tan Duo from China, and Wo.ll'gang llihm (b. 1952) from Bach's nat ive Germany. As a Latin American anda Jew, Golijov offered an outsider's take on lhe Passion story. drawing on African- influenced traditions from Cuba and Brazil to create a piece that enacts Lhe story as a kincl of ritual through voices, dance, and theatrical movement, as shown in Figure 39.4, ra ther tban simply narrating it. ln the passage when Jesus is taken and tried. and Peter denies knowi.ng him (NA\VM 217) , Golijov omits the oanation that Bach gaveto the Evangelist in his St. Matthe-w Pa$si.on (co mpare the para llel section in NAWM 104) and has the chorns play ali the roles. distilling the events into the words and feelings of the people in volved. The varied timbres of LatinAmerican percussion instrumenls. each playing a distinctive: rhythm, lay down a complcx bed of sound. As in Bach's St. Matthe-w Passion. Peter·s remorse at betraying his friend is captured in a lyrical. beautifully ernbellished aria io dialogue with a solo violin, evoking at once the sounds of Bach and other early music a.nd lhe vocal styles of Hamenco and folk so ng.

Elliott Carter, Caténaires
John Adams. Dor.tol' Atomir.
If these pieces by Saariaho, Sams, a nd Golij ov evoke medieval and Baroque mu sic whi le exten ding the late-twentieth-cen l:1.try tren ds of spect ralism, quotation. and stylistic hybridity and polystylism respectively, Elliott Carter rep resents the enduring presence of postwar moclernism and serialism in the new millennium. Having cultivated the new viriuosity in the l 950s and 1960s (see chapter 37). he remained in constant demand for commissions from performers. especially Europeans. throughout the late twentieth and early twenty-nrsl cemtu-ies. He became music's most proliüe centenarian, producing a torrent of orchestra l, chamber, and solo works i11 his n ineties and past his hundredth birthday in 2008. Caténaires (2006) fo r solo piano (NA\V1f 218) is unusual for Carler because, instead of his usual polyphonic anel polyrhythmic textures, it con sists of a single melodie lLne in sixteenth notes, played as fast as possible. Th.is tex:ture evokes the fast perpetua! motion final e of Chopin's Piano Sonata in m Mi:nor, Op. 35, whieh eonsists of a single uninterrupnecl line playecl by both hands in paralJe l octaves. Such evocation of the past ns rare for Ca l'ler, suggesting that the homage to Chopin is intentional. At the sarne time. the pitch stnicture is baseei on chords derived from a twelve-lone row that is p resent in the musie, not as a melody but as a chorei from whlcb Carter's melod ie Une draws its notes. The piece unfolds as a series of cho rds derived from the main sonority thsough inversion, transpositio n , and other permutations, lüikeel together through common tones that Carter em phasizes in bfa melodie nguration . Thus the piece is inn ovative whil e evoking both the nin eteenthcent1.11y piano vi rtuoso traclit ion anel mid - twentieth -cen tury se,·ialism. John Adams has continued to embrace a wide range of lopics inhis recent mu sir:. from r:dr:hralingJr:sus' Na1ivi1y in thr: oi-atorio E! Nirio (1999- 2000). to mourning the deaths in tbe 200 1 terrorist attack on lhe World Trade Cenler in On the Transmigration ofSou Is (2002), to hls opera Doctor Atomic (2005), ahout lhe pressures on Robert Oppenheimcr and olher scienlisls as they prepared
The New World of Mus,c
for the li rst test of 1he atomic bomb in tbe summer of 1945. Oppenheimer's aria Batter niy hea,rt (NAWM 219) exemplifies tbe blending of poslminimalist techniques, which dominate the orcheslral interludes. with the singer·s slowly unfolding, expressive voei! line, whose tonality, arching s hapes, anel emotive power reca ll ninetee11th-centu1y opera by Verdi and others. Adams is able to fuse lwo such difJerent styles as minimalism and Roman1 ic opera by fmding 1he poin ts of co nlac1 between them, inc lud ing sectional forms , tonal melodies, s low-moving harmonies anima ted by repeating Etguration, and strong contrasts in sound. tempo, dynamic levei, and otber parameters that c,,n convey powel'ful emotions. Finally, Jennifer Higdon's blue cathedral (2000) exemplif1es accessible moclerni sm. one of the trends we observed in chapter 38, wh ile reaclü ng back lo Lhe trademai·k procedures of one of Lhe fu·sL anel most beloved modernisls, Debussy. Higdon (b. 1962), showninFigure 39.5,grew uplisteningto popular musican d bluegrass, taught h.ersel f to p laythe fl ute at n fteen, then discovered classical music in college a t Bowling Green Sta te Universily. After studying at the Curtis lnstitute in Philadelphia and with George Crumb at lhe Universily of Pennsylvaoia , she returned to Curtis to ieach. The 2002 premiere of her Concerto for Orchestra by the Philadelphla Orchestra put her on the mapas a composer, followed by thc 201 O Pnlitzer Prize for hcr Violin Concerto and a Grammy Awa rd for her Pe rcussion Concerto. Her blue cathedraL (NAWM 220), a one- move ment 01·chestra l tone poem , has been performed hundreels of Limes, ranking among the mosLwidely per· formed orchestra works composecl in the las! twenly-five years. ln the words of her prog:ram note, the piece represents a ..journey through a glass cathed ral in the sky." Hígtlon w:rote the piece in memory of her brother, anel the piece fealures the flute. her instrnment, and lhe clarinet. h is instrument, as they dance in dialogue in their upper regislers, !ater joined by solo violin anel other instruments. Undergircling the soloists are effects that are typical of Debussy. The strings and brass play triads in parallcl motion, as in Nuages (NA\VM 167) anel other works , and changes of pitch collection, in trus case di fferent tra nspositions of the díatonic scale. demarcate phrases or smaller musical units and provide a sense of har monic molion (compare Example 32.2). Alth ough 1here are no tonal p rogressions, the triads and diatonic li.elcls are fa miJi ar, and together with coloristic orchestration inspired by Debussy they create a sheer beauty of sound that is pa1i of the piece's wide appeal. ·These half-dozen p ieces are too few to be fully represen tative of the ve1y diverse music being created in classical genres in our century. But each represents a vital cunent among today's composers, includ ing spectralism anel min:imalism, quotation and hybridization. and the range of modernism from astringent serialism to accessible diatonicism, and each also evokes signiücant music of the past, from the twelfth to the early twentieth centuries. Like masbups. they recycle old material into new forros and link familiar sounds. strnctures. and ideas to create new combinations. That, if anything, may be what is mos t characte ristic of the music of our age.

C H A 1>T E R 3 '9 • The Twenty- First Century
The Future of Western Music The popularily of mashu ps, mixtures, and blends in recent years is only the la test manifestation of a long-st.a11ding trait in the \Vestem tradi tion: com bining multiple inl1uences lo create somelhing new. Ancienl Greek writers said that dirl'erent ha rmoniae o r modes carne from di ffe re n1 regions, bu1 together they made up lhe Greek system (see chapter l). Gregorian chant, the liturgical chant of the \Vestem ch urch. had roais in Jewish and Byzan line practice anel combined elements from local chant traditions like Roman and Galllican (chapters 2-3). Tb e musical language of tbe Renaissance carne from a. union of Prench, ltalian, and English elements and spread ali over Europe fro m Spain to Poland (chapters 8- 9). Opera was invenled as a blend of ancient Creek drama, ILalian pastoral drama, anel cuHent musical geni·es like the ail', ma.drigal, and canzonetta, anel then opera in tum infosecl new voca l styles into church and chamber music (chapters 14-15). French composers in lhe seventeenth century remade ltalian genres in new F'l·ench styles, keyboard cornposers borrowed from lute style, and the English clrew ou both ltalian and Frencb models (chapter 16). German composers like Bach and Handel blencled French, Italian, and Gcrman traditions (chapters 17 and 19). Mozart's m usic was so d iverse in slyle. both between and wi1hin works, because he trave led so wid ely as a youth and learned so many different styles, which he la ter comhined in his matu re composítions (chapter 23). In the nineteenlh century, French opera composers borrowed ideas from Italian opera, German composers used both !talian and French operas as models, and Russian composers a.dapted ideas from ali tbree regions (chaple rs 27-28). Once the music of the past began to be widely available. composers drew on olde r styles and procedures as well (cha pters 26 and 29). Jazz is a blend of African Amerj ca n traditions with Cari bb ea n and European elements (chapter 31). Ravel, Stravinsky. anel others combined eighteenth- century and modem sounds and procedures in neoclassicism, and Bartók, lves, anel other composers integratecl international traits with stylistic featu res frolll their own regiou to produce music in completely new styles (chapters 32. 33. and 35). Rhythm and blues, rock, country. hip bop, anel most other postwar popular styles are blencls l'rom muhiple sources, as are the music of Astor Piazzolla, Jobu Zorn, Bright Sheng, a nd others who create hybrids that are beyond categorization (chapters 36 and 38). Again and again, in ali corners of\Vestern music history. we encounter people creating new gemes, s tyles, and traditions by incorporat ing aspects of other music. Often wbat makes the difference in which strands are interwoven with eaeh other is access. The contributions of the English no the Continental style in t he lifteenth cen tu ry, of lta lia ns to music in Cermany, Po land, England. and Russia. anel of Africans and their descendents to jazz and other traditions in North America would not have happened without those people visitíng or living ín those regions. And now. of course. tluough digital recorclings anel the lnternet. there is instant access around the wo rld to almost everything. ln such a world every type of music and every piece of music is fail' game for being reused in novel ways. The only limit is our imagination. Th is abilityto absorb oth er musics ande reate new blends has been a delin -
The Futuro ofWestern Music
ing characteristic of the Western traclition from its beginnings to now, anel it sets \Vestem music apart from many other musical traditio ns. Japanese composcr Tõru Takemitsu once observed that he could use Japancse ínstruments, sounds, and techniq Ltes in a work in a Western genre such as a concerto, but he could not use \Vestem tu nes or tech ni ques within a Japanese tradition such as music for lhe Noh drama or for shakuhachi, because those traditions did not permit outside inlluences; a ny hybrid b-elo nged to 1.he Western trad ition. Much th e sa rne is true for the gamelan music of Java and Bali or the classical music oflnilia or Persia. But th is capability to ahsorb influences is ai the very core ofthe Western tradition in a Uof its branches, from church music to clas sical concer1 music to jazz, pop, anel hip hop. We may well woncler whether the term "\Vestem music" is still appropriate when Western culture has spread around the world, and some of lhe mos l prncticed performers and interestíng new composers come from China, Japan, and Korea. Given its global reach, it may be time to rename füis tradit ion, but as eclectic a nd diverse as it has become. its roots are still in \Vestem cultur e reachíng back through Europe to ancient Greece. lt is too early to know what music from tbe late twentie1h o r early twenty&rs t century will be remembered, performed, and listened to in the futm·e or will int1uence !ater music. 'freneis cha nge too quickly to give a balanccd or complete overvjew of recent mus ic. But i1 seems clear that there is a continuing tension in ali forms of mu sic between fmding a niche of com mi tted listeners whose support will endure and fmding a wide audience. There are few pieces tha t everyone knows; perhaps 11ational anthems anel scores for blockbuster tilms come closest to providing the s hared musi cal experiences that seem to have been more common ín tbe past. The great success enjoyed by Beethoven in classical music. Verdi in opera, Duke Ellington in jazz, or the Bealles in popular music seems no longer possi.ble, beca use tbe audience isso divided that sucb unanimity of opinion is unlikely to be achieved. Yet perhaps the relative lack of giants may be a good thing. Music of the past and of the entire world is more availal>le now than ever. Thanks to radio, recorclings. the Internet, and marketing, most of the music we have studied in this book is heard by more people each year today than heard it during the composer's life time. There is no need lO focus our interest on a few great composers when lhere isso much va1·iety to enjoy. Tb e choices we bave for music to listen to or perfonn have become a.lmost li mitless. So to o are the possibilities for new music. \Vith new computer software and techniques of sampling and synthesis founcl in tradiüons l'rom art music to hip hop, it is now possible for people with access to tech nology to make their own music, without training in performance. ln some respects. we are surrou nded by more music than we can ever consume. But perhaps we a1·e also returning to something aldn to the practice of music long ago. when every singer sang his or her own song. ~ Resources for study and revíew available at wwnorton.com/studyspace.
