Romantic Period 1810 - 1900

Key Characteristics In contrast to the light and graceful nature of music in the Classical period, music of the Romantic era, while using many of the same forms, became highly expressive. Composers wrote long, singing emotional melodies for solo instruments, vocalists and large orchestras. Melodies were often supported by chromatic chords, mild discord and dissonances and the frequent use of modulations.

Key Characteristics A thick texture Wide range and contrast in pitch and dynamics Long expressive melodies Rich harmonies A large orchestra – a variety of Percussion is now common Use of recurring themes – Leitmotiv Nationalism

The Romantic Orchestra

The Romantic Orchestra Orchestra size became the size it is today. Strings – many more players (plus the Harp) Brass – introduction of trombone and tuba Woodwind – more in number (piccolo,cor anglais, bass clarinet and contrabassoon) Percussion – 3 or more timpani, plus lots of other percussion instruments

Symphony A work for full orchestra The Classical Symphony usually followed the pattern of 4 movements. However, in the Romantic era some composers extended this to include 5 movements, Some experimented with the addition of voices. In both of the above examples the use of expression through dynamics, modulation and size of orchestra was significant.

Concerto A work for soloist and orchestra In the Romantic era the Orchestra took a more prominent role in the Solo Concerto. In Classical music it had played the accompanying part – in Romantic times it became equal with the soloist. Romantic Orchestra became equal with the soloist

Programme Music Music which tells a story or describes a scene. This was music composed for the purpose of telling a story or describing a mood or scene from a picture or piece of poetry. Instruments and harmonies were assigned to certain emotions or characters within the story/picture.

Programme Music Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony Composed in 1808 Beethoven said that the symphony was “more the expression of feeling than painting” Berlioz composed his Symphonie Fantastique where one melody is used to symbolise a person throughout each movement.

Leitmotiv A recurring theme throughout a work which describes a character or idea (also called idee fixe) Berlioz used the idea of a recurring theme in ‘Symphonie Fantastique’ Wagner took it further.

Tone Poem Also known as Symphonic poem One movement piece for orchestra based on a story or experience The Sorcerer's Apprentice Based on a poem by the Romantic poet Goethe

Nationalism Until the mid 1800’s much music had been dominated by German influences. However, during the Romantic period composers from other European countries, such as Russia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Norway and Finland became evident. Many of these composers carried strong influences from the folk music of their own country in their compositions. Often the melodies of folk songs would be used as a basis for their compositions.
