MUSIC : Impressionism and Expressionism, Europe at the Turn of the Century Igor Stravinsky Igor Stravinsky was a composer, pianist, and good conductor. He is one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Rite of Spring The Rite of Spring depicts the return of spring and renewal of the earth through the sacrifice of a virgin chosen to dance herself to death. The melodies are usually short with an ancient folk-like sound. They often appear as fragments or short groups of notes. The meter changes frequently. There are no lengthy sections of music where the beat is steady or predictable. The instruments used are mainly brass and woodwind instruments. Europe at the Turn of the Century A Change in Fortunes Life on the continent had been plagued by unrest for centuries, and wars were a normal and expected feature of European life. However, at the end of the Franco-Prussian war in 1871, a relatively prolonged period of peace settled on the continent. Alongside this period of peace came a surprising boom in technological advances, which included the invention of the telephone, the lightbulb, and the X-ray, among others. Suez Canal Transportation also became more efficient with the construction of the Suez Canal, an engineering marvel unimaginable in centuries past. In turn, it revolutionized trade between the east and the west. Different Artist in Europe at the Turn of the Century 1) Wassily Kandinsky The first prominent figure in the visual arts to create completely non-representational works 2) Maurice Maeterlinck Focused on non-realist evidence; His writing was rich with psychological symbolism. 3) Marcel Proust His “stream of consciousness” writing ignored the mandates of chronology and logical flow in favor of a more accurate depiction of unfiltered memory and thought. Performance Practice Performance practice is the term applied to musical techniques employed in a specific musical genre during specific musical eras. It also refers to implied and not written or notated techniques. Performance practice refers to how composers perform music. Setting It is written based on literary work. It can be set and adapted to music. It includes choral music and vocal music. Composition It can be an original piece or work, either instrumental or vocal music. It can be classified according to the structure of the composition. It can also be the process of creating the musical piece. It includes musical notation, scores, melody, rhythm, and other elements of music. Role of the Composer/Performer A composer writes the lyrics of a song. A performer performs and uses instruments or vocals to produce musical sounds. Audience The audience listens to the musical composition or piece and indicates how they appreciate the elements of music, like the melody, rhythm, and harmony. One of the most important technical development in music during the late 19th century was the gradual breakdown or dissolution of the tonal system. It means a musical style is atonal or has no specific tonal keys. Atonality Atonal or atonality is a musical style that has no traditional harmonic concept of a key. It does not use the standard scales and modes found in tonal music. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ ARTS : Modern Art, Impressionism and Expressionism Two art movements arose as a response to the people’s modern lifestyle. Impressionism defied the fine arts’ rules. Expressionism, on the other hand, focused on feelings rather than the subject. Impressionism In the 1870s, impressionism changed the way people looked at the arts. Many people considered impressionists’ works as amateurish or unfinished. They defied the conventions of forms and symmetry by focusing on their perceptions of things. Their works, which often feature outdoor scenes, have vibrant colors. Notable Impressionists Western Impressionists 1) Édouard Manet 2) Camille Pissarro 3) Alfred Sisley 4) Edgar Degas 5) Pierre-Auguste Renoir 6) Claude Monet Filipino Impressionists 1) Boy Go 2) Bueno Silva 3) Oscar Ramos Expressionism Expressionism focuses on the artists' feelings by using images to represent the meaning of their works. Gestural swaying and swirling brush strokes are used with arbitrary colors on subjects used for social criticism.  Notable expressionists include Otto Dix, George Grosz, Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Lionel Feininger, Emil Nolde, August Macke, Max Pechstein, Kandinsky, Alfred Kubin, and Oskar Kokoschka. Edvard Munch’s popular painting The Scream evokes the feeling of anxiety and fear.

The body loses muscle mass as individuals age, but strength training can help bring it back. Examples: 1) squats 2) push-ups 3) lunges 4) machine exercises involving resistance from a weight C) Stretching Exercises Stretching helps maintain flexibility, especially as anyone ages. Aging leads to a loss of flexibility in the muscles. Muscles get shorter and do not function correctly. Stretching exercises, if done regularly, can make the muscles grow longer and more flexible. Dynamic stretches are repetitive motions like marching in place or circling the arms. Static stretches are stretch positions held for up to 60 seconds.
