Firm-up Music of the 20th century? The 20th century marked the invention of the gramophone records. The mass market of this invention made musical compositions available to many. Prior to this period, during the 19th century, only the elites or the rich could listen to live classical music concerts in theaters. When the phonograph was invented and mass produced sometime in 1890s, both the middle class and the lower class could have the chance to listen to less expensive recorded concerts. Radio broadcasting which was first commercially done sometime in 1920 also allowed many people to listen to classical music and opera music. Because of the innovation of time, there were dramatic changes in the forms and styles of the music of the period. Many composers, musicians, and songwriters explored new forms. They challenged the established music rules of the 18th century. They introduced the so-called altered chords and extended chords; example is the bebop jazz in 1940s, the invention of loud guitar amplifiers and sound system also contributed to the new trend in music. Historical and Cultural Background of the Music Produced in the 19th Century The Art Movement in Europe: Impressionism Impressionism Impressionism is a movement in painting that started in France in the 1860s. It is characterized by visual impression of the moment in terms of the shifting effect of color and light. Impressionist artists paint with many colors and their usual subjects are the outdoors; for example, nature’s landscape. They want to capture images without subtle details but through the use of bold colors. Thus, their paintings can be very bright and vibrant. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 3 of 19 Impressionism in Music Impressionist music may be described generally as having refinement, delicacy, and vagueness. Just like the effect of impressionistic painting, this type of music projects a hazy atmosphere and dreamlike quality. Popular examples of impressionist music are the works of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel of France. Their music refers to those that have sounds that “call forth such images as moonlight, waterfalls, and fireworks.” In the Philippines, Dr. Antonio Molina was one of the 20th-century Filipino composers who wrote art music. He was called the ‘Claude Debussy of the Philippines’ for first introducing several important devices which are technically characteristics of impressionist music. Characteristics of Impressionism in Music 1. The rhythm of impressionism music is irregular in terms of phrases. 2. It avoids the traditional harmonic progression. 3. It has unresolved dissonance. 4. It uses the whole-tone scale, uses the 9th chord, and also frequently uses modality and exotic scales. Dissonance is the lack of agreement and consistency in the progress of harmony of music. Modality is derived from the word “modal”, a general term used with reference to melodic and harmonic formations based on the church modes, as opposed to those based on the major and minor modes (tonality). Notable 20th-Century Composers and Musicians that belong to the Genre of Impressionism in Music In the 20th century, many musical styles coexisted with impressionism. This movement is represented by the two best composers of this era, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. Claude Debussy Maurice Ravel How does impressionism music sound like? Listen to the music composed by the famous impressionist composer, Claude Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of Faun,” which made him popular. This is how impressionism sounds like. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 4 of 19 Listen to Claude Debussy’s “Prelude to the Afternoon of Faun.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvvSj992cbE Introduction: Introduction - https://www.dreamstime.com/illustration/formal-introduction.html Claude Debussy (1862-1918) Achille-Claude Debussy was born in France on the 22nd of August 1862. His parents were Manuel-Achille Debussy and Victorine Manoury. Debussy’s mother was a very independent woman who kept him and two of his siblings in the care of his mother’s sister-in-law. He was the favorite among the siblings and was sent to his first formal school at the Paris Conservatoire at the age of 10. Debussy’s first documented musical experience dates back from 1870-1871, during the visit of his aunt Clementine in Cannes. Debussy entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1872. On the 25th of October 1872, Debussy attended his first Conservatoire piano class under Jean-Francois Marmontel, who was a highly regarded piano professor during that period. All in all, the early years of Debussy’s stay in Conservatoire were remarkably successful due to the fact that he won several piano competitions. A winner of the 1884 Prix de Rome with his composition,” L’enfant prodigue,” Debussy received a scholarship to the Académie des Beaux-Arts, which included a four-year residence at the Villa Medici, the French Academy in Rome, to further his studies (1885-1887) All of Debussy’s musical pieces were instrumental in the development of this classical music until this age. The “Prelude to the Afternoon of Faun” was his orchestral height. Other famous orchestral parts include “La Mer,” “Nocturne,” and “Images.” His string quartets are pleasing and their practical difficulty is astounding. His only opera, which is also famous, is “Pelleas et Melisande.” Debussy died on the 25th of March 1918 due to rectal cancer, but he died with his great compositions like the “Engulfed Cathedral” and “Claire de Lune”. What made Claude Debussy’s work known to the world? These are the following characteristics of Claude Debussy’s work: 1. He used special melodic passages which at times did not have specific tonality or key center. 2. He often used parallel chords which are just really chordal melodies and enriched unisons. 3. The use of bitonal chords; whole tones and pentatonic scales. (Whole-tone is a scale in which each note is separated from its neighbors by the interval of a whole step.) Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) Joseph Maurice Ravel was born on March 7, 1875 to Marie Delourat and Joseph Ravel in the town of Ciboure, France. He was baptized in a Catholic ceremony in the local parish church of Saint Vincent, and then after three months, he and his family moved to Paris. Maurice Ravel’s deepest emotional tie of his entire life was his attachment to his mother who sang Spanish folk melodies to him. And through her, he inherited a love of the Basque Country, its people, and its folklore, as well as a deep sympathy for the music of Spain. In 1882, shortly after his 7th birthday, Maurice took his first piano lesson under Henry Ghys, who observed his young pupil to be “intelligent” and gave the youngster his first lesson WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 5 of 19 in harmony, counterpoint, and composition. Among his earliest essays were several pieces for piano: variations on a chorale by Schumann, the movement of a sonata, and variations on a theme from Grieg’s “Peer Gynt.” He had his first public performance on June 2, 1889 where he performed an excerpt from Moscheles’s “Third Concerto.” His career in the Paris Conservatoire began on November 4, 1889 when six of the faculty members of the Conservatoire made a unanimous decision to accept Ravel in the preparatory piano division; his audition piece was an excerpt from Chopin’s Concerto. In the piano competition held on July 10, 1980, Maurice Ravel was awarded second place, making his initial year at the Conservatoire rather successful. The following year, Maurice’s performance of Schuman’s Sonata resulted to the grand prize in July of 1891. He died on December 28, at the age of 62 in Paris. The famous works of his lifetime of compositions are “Bolero,” “La Valse,”” Ma mèrel’oie,” and “Miroirs.” Firm-up ART Go and Learn The Modern Art Phenomenon Modern Art Looking back in time from our vantage point today, the beginning of the 20th century is recognized as a period of revolution and change in art. Artists were seen representing the world they know in unique ways or never before seen by the public. They introduced a variety of new art styles that not only broke artistic traditions of the past but also pointed the way to future innovations. This way, the artist has become modernist because of the traditional ways of representation - a display of one’s technical skill and realism - were just not enough. At first, Europe was the birthplace for these new styles - styles that greatly influenced the art created later in America. However, this changed as the century wore on American art begun to show bold new character of its own. Ultimately, the artworks created by American artists became the model to which artists in Europe and other parts of the world turned for inspiration. What is Style? Styles surrounded us in our daily lives. We can easily identify specific styles of cars, kind of stores, and brand names of different goods. We know Adidas from Nike, SM malls from Ayala malls, or Honda from Volkswagen. In art, people note personal styles of specific artists- “That’s a Picasso,” “That’s an Anita Magsaysay-Ho,”- after seeing a range of their works. Such recognition is based primarily on differentiation. Below are the paintings of Anita Magsaysay-Ho showing her personal style. Potting Flowers, 1981 Two Women, 1992 Fish Vendors, 1986 Artists working in the same culture during the same time often have features in common - a style shared by a particular group of likeminded artists. A familiarity with these WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 6 of 19 styles can help us situate art and artists that are new to us which often helps with understanding. Part 1: Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism Impressionism In 1874, a group of artists held an exhibition in Paris. One of these artists were Claude Monet who exhibited a painting entitled “Impression, Sunrise.” The critics were shocked by what they saw that they took the word “impression” from Monet’s title and used it as a label when referring, unkindly, to all the work in the exhibition. The movement, called Impressionism, was described as an art style that tried to capture an impression of what the eye sees at a given moment and the effect of sunlight on the subject. Claude Monet. Impression: Sunrise, 1872. Oil on canvas. The Louvre, Paris Characteristics of Impressionism There are unique features to discern the impressionist’s work among several other works representing different styles. Some of these are: 1. Impressionists paint quickly in order to capture the “Impression” of the subject right at the moment. As you can tell, impressionists are much more interested in conveying mood and atmosphere with their painting than creating a detailed and lifelike replica of their subject. Claude Monet. The Houses, Parliament, with Sun Braking Through the Fog 1904. Oil on canvas MoMA, NY. 2. Time and motion are also conscious elements in the works of the impressionists. They concentrate on painting the changes in color and shape caused by light at different times of the day. In this way, impressionists are known to work like scientists because they want to catch the true effects of daylight on an object. 3. They also prefer painting outdoors because they believed that the color of shade is influenced by the surrounding colors, and therefore, must shine and filter through the scene and flood the objects in the painting. In “Gare Saint Lazare,” French artist Clade Monet went out to paint a train station in Paris. It showed the effect of light streaming through the glass roof of the station onto the clouds of steam in the painting. He also showed how shapes of people and engines stood out in the confusion of smoke and noise of station. He created the impression of activity by using patches of color instead of neat outlines. The painting is such a busy picture that the viewer can almost smell the smoke and hear the bustle of the people. 4. Their use of tiny dabs and dashes if bright colors that are mixed from pure hues and broken up with their opposite colors seem to blend as you look at them from a distance.

Their subjects usually include the people of the city life involved in everyday events which may seem unimportant when compared with the grand subjects painted by earlier artists.

The Sterling and Clark Art Institute, Massachusetts. Who are the well-known Impressionists? 1. Claude Monet- The true pioneer of the impressionists- he was constantly exploring “What do I see and how do I record in painting?” Monet has a long-lasting fascination in observing and painting light and nature. Many of his beautiful paintings show places in the garden he created for himself and his wife. He would stay for long hours at different times of day in his garden to paint it. Claude Monet. Over a Pond of Water, 1899. Oil on canvas. MoMA, NY 2. Pierre-Auguste Renoir-Renoir studied painting with several other painters who become known as the impressionists. Renoir liked to paint lively groups of figures. He usually used the maids in his house as his models. Renoir’s pictures were full of sketchy patches of color and contrasts of light and shade. Renoir painted more than 6000 paintings. Even when he became crippled in old age, he carried on painting by wedging brushes between his twisted fingers. Who are some of the famous counterpart Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The Dance at Le Moulin de la artists of impressionism in the Philippines? Galette, 1876. Oil on canvas. Musèe d’ Orsay, Paris Impressionism lasted some 15 years in its purest form in Europe, but they profoundly influenced all paintings that followed worldwide. Many Filipino artists picked up the style of the impressionists as early as when they first became popular in Europe. Well-known Filipinos who were influenced by impressionism include Juan Luna and Maestro Fernando Amorsolo. Juan Luna. Mi Hijo Andres, 1889. Lopez Memorial Museum Collection Rosalinda Orosa Colection Tampuhan, 1895. Oil on canvas. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 8 of 19 Despite being identified as master of classical style, Juan Luna tried his hand at impressionism. In the portrait of his son, the three-year-old Andres, the use of small and brightly colored dabs on the cheeks, the intent to create a quick impression of a fleeting moment, and the appearance of painting outdoors and reflected light were just some qualities that were clearly impressionistic in style. Fernando Amorsolo. Planting Rice, 1951; Market Scene, 1949; and Lavanderas, 1952. Private Collections. The first Filipino Artist of the Philippines, Fernando Amorsolo, on the other hand, is known for paintings having a distinctive glow against which figures stand out. Trying to catch the exact quality of light- “Sunlight at high noon,”- when contrasts are strongest and when “sun shafts” create dappled light patterns on the ground recalls the style of the impressionists. However, Amorsolo is unlike Monet or Renoir. Nowhere is this evident than his landscapes where except for the background, which has bold and spontaneous brushstrokes, the figures are more carefully rendered and have the emphasis on detail conceived by his classical training. Did you know that… Our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, is seated among two other gentlemen in the background of Juan Luna’s painting, The Parisian Life? Did you also know that the lady in the foreground symbolizes our motherland, the Philippines? This painting is a fine example of the impressionistic style of the great Filipino painter, Juan Luna. It is also a valuable piece of the Philippine history. The Parisian Life is more than 100 years old. It immortalizes Luna himself with Jose Rizal and patriot Dr. Ariston Bautista Lin in a historic meeting prior to their departure from Paris to join the 1896 Philippine Revolution against Spain. Expressionism At the beginning of the 20th century, some artists who have been connected with impressionism began to find fault with it. They felt that this style sacrificed too much by trying to capture the momentary effects of sunlight on forms and colors. They felt that art should present a more personal, expressive view of life. In Germany, the view was eagerly accepted by several groups of artists. The art movement in which artworks conveyed strong feelings was called expressionism. Who are the famous proponents of expressionism? 1. Edvard Munch- Munch was the best-known forerunner of expressionism. His early life was tortured by sickness, death, insanity, unhappy love affairs, and guilt - a classic way to understand his paintings. Observe the way he worked through his state of mind in his painting The Scream. Observe as well Munch’s rare ability to portray intimate emotion in a universal way. People are familiar with WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 9 of 19 anxiety and fear. Munch, however, managed to make them beautiful. Edvard Munch. The Scream 1892. Oil and tempera on cardboard. National Gallery, Norway Munch was not simply trying to paint some figures in a landscape. His painting expressed fear. In his depiction, something terrible must have happened, but we do not know what it was. Munch was one of several expressionists who felt strongly that paintings could show people worrying and suffering, as well as show the beautiful things in life. 2. Wassily Kandinsky started out as a realistic painter but was among the first to make truly abstract art in which color and form take on an expressive life. Kandinsky believed that shape, line, and color have emotional properties capable of conveying heightened feelings. Red, for example, was described as giving “the impression of a strong drum beat; “green was” the shrill sound of a violin,” and yellow possesses a capacity to attain heights.” As to lines, Kandinsky believed that horizontal lines were cold and flat;” verticals were “warm and strong;” curved lines were “mature;” and angular lines were “youthful.” What is the influence of expressionism in Philippine art? The modernist stirrings - the revolt against convention and tradition - in Europe at the beginning of the 20th century were particularly felt in Philippine Art. Coming back from studying art abroad in 1928, painter Victorio Edades, for example, realized that the modernist’s experimentation and new perspective at seeing the Wassily Kandinsky.

Paris In a homecoming exhibit that he mounted in 1928, among those he showed to a “shocked” audience was the main feature, The Builders. It was the Filipino public’s introduction to modern art. Although his works were mainly drawn to post-impressionist style, The Builders was special because it showed Edades’ modernist tendency to experiment on other style like expressionism. Its use of exaggerated features, dark tones, and heavy brushstrokes to express intense feelings set the expressionistic tone for many Filipino artists of his time and the next generation. National Artist Victorio Edades, the acknowledged “Father of Philippine Modern Art,” depicted Filipinos during the American Victor Edades. The Builders, 1928 Oil on canvas. occupation, a time of much industrial progress, in a struggle of getting on with the times. Cubism Can you see the jagged blue and white shapes of the woman’s mouth as she bites onto her handkerchief? Can you also notice how the artist overlapped the flat shapes in an abstract design? Pablo Picasso was the first to use such unrealistic style. He was the leader of a new movement in art called cubism. WE CRAFT YOUR FUTURE THE PAULINIAN WAY! Page 10 of 19 Pablo Picasso painted the picture in 1937 and used powerful colors to depict the sadness of the crying women. Sometimes, when people are very upset, we say that they “go to pieces” or are “broken” by their sadness. In this artwork, Picasso’s woman looks as if she really is broken into pieces. Pablo Picasso. Weeping Women, 1937. The cubist began to find the impressionists’ style too messy. They decided to paint objects as firms, solid forms, at the same time, as painting light and color. The works of 1910-11 were given the label “Analytical Cubism” and used bits and pieces of objects to reassemble according to the artist’s imagination. In the works after 1912, the Cubists explored the idea of sticking down paper shapes to make a special kind of picture, called a collage - this development is known as “Synthetic Cubism.” Pablo Picasso. Bottle of Vieux, Glass, Guitar and Newspaper, Juan Gris. Portrait of Ambrose Vollard, 1910 1913. Collage and ink. Tate Gallery, London. Oil on canvas. MoMA, NY. Who are the founders of Cubism? What are the characteristics of Cubism? The two founders of cubism, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, started with the idea that all shapes in nature are based on geometric shapes - the sphere, the cone, and the cylinder. The idea was unprecedented. For the first time, a shift in focus from subject matter to the ‘abstract” properties of line, shape, and composition became the new way of seeing the world for artists. In this way, an art of the senses was replaced by an art of the mind. Cubist fractured the laws of perspective by breaking up space into jagged planes without a sense of logic - even presenting the eye of one figure from a frontal view and face in profile. Or, as in the case of the cubist Georges Braque, by reducing architecture to its geometric forms and reassembling them as faceted planes that are comparable to “little cubes.” In sculpture, the idea was to create an object that could be assembled from multiple views - from the top, the side, and the front.

The distinctive themes and styles that made use of the geometric fragmentation technique in the work of early Filipino cubists contributed significantly to the introduction of modern art in the Philippines. Some of these artists were Vicente Manansala, Cesar Legaspi, and Cenon Rivera. Cesar Legaspi. Combancheros, Vicente Manansala. Birds of Vicente Manansala. Sungka, 1972. Oil on canvas.

Collection The cubist aspects of Vicente Manansala and Cesar Legaspi are unlike of that European cubist masters because both stayed close to the figures and simplified basic geometric forms. For one, Manansala hardly tore the images into pieces like many jigsaw fragments the way Picasso and Braque did in their works. He has his own “easy to understand kind of cubism- “transparent” cubism – which he claims he develops all by himself. This approach shows images, say, birds in flight, as transparencies or “glazes” that interlock and overlap which do not present much depth that is present in the cubist work of Picasso.

Page 13 of 19 What is the difference between health-related (HRF) and skill-related components (SRF) of fitness? The measurable components that influence one’s physical fitness are composed of two groups: health- related components and skill-related components associated mostly to individual kinesthetic intelligence or more performance-based skills. HRF refers to the ability to perform daily physical task associated with the disease prevention and functional health while SRF is the ability of the human body to perform physical task efficiently for a specific sport. What is fitness assessment? A fitness assessment is a series of measurements and tests that will help identify the status of one’s physical fitness. There are several standard tests in a fitness assessment. The tests include evaluating body mass index, resting heart rate, and health-related test and skill-related test like body composition, lung capacity, flexibility, speed, balance, agility, power, strength, and coordination. Body mass index (BMI) is one of the most demanding fitness assessment tests today because in most of all the fields in different professions they use this as part of the physical examination to assess if the person is healthy or unhealthy. In the school it is also one of the requirements in physical education class for the students as part of their fitness assessment tests. A typical fitness assessment will help individuals identify strengths and weaknesses from the components of physical fitness and then plan which fitness program is suited for the needs of the individual.
