Modernism Igor Stravinsky

Modernism More and more artists & composers rejected the classical traditions of art & music and strove towards originality. (why?) Avoiding classical harmony and forms at all cost, they looked towards folk & even “primitive” cultures for alternate methods & stories for their works of art. This period was characterized by a broad diversity of styles, with every composer and artist having very unique & recognizable styles. More and more the general public rejected this new art & music as ugly and degenerate.

Modernism in Music As with modern art, modern music fractured into dozens of minor “-isms”: (Post-Romanticism, Nationalism, Expressionism, 12-Tone Music, Neo-Classicism, Futurism, Primitivism, Socialist Realism, Jazz/Popular-Fusion.) Modernist techniques: Atonality: Music that doesn’t use harmony or scales by seemingly-random note combinations. Polytonality: Music with multiple simultaneous keys. Polyrhythm: Music with multiple simultaneous meters. Extended Techniques: Playing instruments or singing in unusual, unconvential ways.

Igor Stravinsky Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971) was a Russian –French-American composer. He was a musical innovator, writing works in Post-Romantisicm (Firebird Suite), Neo-Classicism (The Rake’s Progress) & Serialism over his lifetime. Stravinsky wrote “The Rite of Spring,” for the Russian ballet in Paris in 1912. The music and ballet tell a vague story about a primitive tribe choosing a young woman to be sacrificed so the spring can come. A riot broke out in the audience when it premiered because of the violent music, choreography and story.
