Analysing Three Additional Set Works. Learners Will Be Required to Focus Their Skills on New Styles of Notated Music The KING’S Medium Term Plan - Music Y11 LC1 Programme – out-going GCSE Module Area of Study 2 Analysing three additional set works. Learners will be required to focus their skills on new styles of notated music and adapt to following much larger scores. Learners will learn about the characteristics of modern/20th century music, specialising in musical theatre, minimalism and expressionism. Learners will use this knowledge and apply their knowledge of Western Classical Music to composition. AoS1 set works Bernstein: Something’s Coming Reich: Electric Counterpoint Schoenberg: Peripetie Building on Learners have now learnt how to follow reduced music scores, larger orchestral and vocal scores. They will prior learning continue to follow similar musical scores. Their understanding of the Western Classical Traditions will be reaffirmed and extended to modern practices. Learners will be introduced to a broad historical understanding of the historical Western periods will be learnt. This module specifically looks at 20th century “isms”.

  • Music in the 20Th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces
    AOS 2: Music in the 20th Century Serialism Background Information to Five Orchestral Pieces Five Orchestral Pieces 1909 by Arnold Schoenberg is a set of atonal pieces for full orchestra. Each piece lasts between one to five minutes and they are not connected to one another by the use of any musical material. Richard Strauss requested that Schoenberg send him some short orchestral pieces with the possibility of them gaining some attention from important musical figures. Schoenberg hadn’t written any orchestral pieces since 1903 as he had been experimenting with and developing his ideas of atonality in small scale works. He had had a series of disappointments as some of his works for both chamber orchestra and larger ensembles had been dismissed by important musical figures as they did not understand his music. As a result of this Schoenberg withdrew further into the small group of like minded composers e.g. The Second Viennese School. Schoenberg uses pitches and harmonies for effect not because they are related to one another. He is very concerned with the combinations of different instrumental timbres rather than melody and harmony as we understand and use it. Schoenberg enjoyed concealing things in his music; he believed that the intelligent and attentive listener would be able to decipher the deeper meanings. Schoenberg believed that music could express so much more than words and that words detract from the music. As a result of this belief titles for the Five Orchestral Pieces did not appear on the scores until 13 years after they had been composed.

I. One of the remarkable aspects of Schönberg’s music is the stunning variety and originality of the cadential gestures he invents. Cadences articulate the tempo- ral experiences that compose a musical form, and moments of cadence (within a piece or movement) are experienced as temporal turning points, through which the recent past comes into fully-formed shape, and the impending future arouses an invigorated sense of expectation.

  • One Hand Piano Literature in Turkey
    African Educational Research Journal Special Issue 8(2), pp. S49-S61, October 2020 DOI: 10.30918/AERJ.8S2.20.032 ISSN: 2354-2160 Full Length Research Paper One hand piano literature in Turkey Sirin Akbulut Demirci1* and Eda Nergiz2 1 Music Education Department, Education Faculty, Bursa Uludag University, Turkey. 2Music Department, State Conservatory, Giresun University, Turkey. ABSTRACT The curriculum used in amateur and professional piano education is shaped according to the physical and mental state of the students. Easy access to piano literature that can be used in case of one hand and/or one arm disability is important in terms of contributing to the students and piano instructors. For this reason, it is aimed to determine the works of contemporary Turkish composers in this field. Turkish composers who passed away in 2000 and after and those who live today were investigated; 146 of 198 composers who were identified were contact online, and it was concluded that 69 composers did not compose one hand piano work and 7 composers composed one hand piano work. Scores, program notes, work descriptions and sound recordings related to one hand piano works were obtained from those composers. It was found that 2 of these works were composed for the right hand, 3 for the left hand and 2 for any of them. It is thought that the limited number of contemporary Turkish one hand piano literature will contribute positively to piano literature, music educators, piano students and performer with physical disabilities. Keywords: Physical disability, piano education, one hand piano literature, contemporary Turkish composers, contemporary music.
