    In standard chronology, there are actually six periods beginning with the Medieval petiod, the transition to the Renaissance style occuring around 1430-50. Since the novice listener wont perceive much difference between the two, i suppose you wanted to keep it simple, but i think its important that even newcomers be aware of how vast the early music repertoire is, from plainchant to Elizabethan madrigals. Then the Baroque introduces our familiar tonality & homophonic textures, running from Monteverdi thru Bach & Handel c1600-1750. The late Baroque is when the orchestral repetoire begins and the casual listener will start to recognize familiar pieces of so-called "classical" music.

    As a required Fine Arts credit for my business major I took a "Listening To Music," class. I liked music but never took the time to understand the classics. It turned out to be one of my favorite classes. It was much like this video, a survey of music from Monk Chants to modern music. We hit on the more popular composers of each period and their most popular music. I am certainly not an expert on any of it, but I do enjoy it. Now that I am learning to play the piano at a very late age, I have come to appreciate these composers so much and a love and jealousy for their brilliance. These pieces don't need to be snobbish and boooooring, they can be fun, very interesting, and entertaining if you take some time to understand the context in which they were created.

      Once you get away from Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, who were pretty much the Kings of their musical eras, it's pretty much a crap shoot when it comes to ranking the next level of composers for each era. Tallis or Palestrina? Liszt or Chopin? Rach or Prokofiev? etc. It's like trying to select the best color of blue. lol

    • @owlcowl
      @owlcowl Год назад +6

      Impressionism is considered a transitional style between Romanticism and full-blown Modernism, which begins with Schoenberg & Stravinsky c1908-12. It was a predominantly French phenomenon, embodied foremost in Debussy (who loathed the term) and less neatly in Ravel, Satie, Koechlin, with only a handful of composers elsewhere being influenced by it, so it never became an international musical language during its brief flourishing (c1890-1915).

    You skipped over some pretty big names. Also the impressionist era; ravel and Debussy are a big thing to miss. Can’t mention atonality and not bring up the beginning of the atonal movement and it’s opening up into mainstream composition.

    • @owlcowl
      @owlcowl Год назад

      It does seem rather anachronistic at this point, but in a 20C context, Modernism customarily refers to a specific aesthetic stance & stylistic revolution in the European arts occuring in the years immediately prior to WW1 with Cubism in the visual arts around 1906-1908 (Picassos radical Le Damoiselles d' Avignon dates from 1907) followed in rapid succession by all the other movements of the 1910s & 20s. Literary Modernism also originates in those years with Pound and the Imagists. In music, the years from 1907-1912 were likewise critical, with Schoenbergs plunge into atonality in his 2nd string quartet, culminating in Pierrot Lunaire, and the simultaneous rhythmic & harmonic revolution in tonal language wrought by Stravinsky & Bartok in their early works, Sacre du Printemps being of course the founding charter of tonal Modernism. Early and Late Modernism in both art & music are conventionally divided by the end of WW2 in 1945. Now we are in the much-remarked-upon Post-Modern era, beginning in music with the inaptly named minimalist movement. So the label isn't simply an arbitrary chronological designation like "antique" referring to any object more than 100 years old.
