Music – ImpressionismClaude Debussy (1862-1918) • His music represented visual images and emotions. • Music was meant to represent nature • Did not like the term impressionist being applied to his music. • Musical pieces were descriptive like “The Snow is Falling,” and “The Sea.” • No longer descriptions of their forms (sonata, etude, minuet). • Debussy’s La Mer: Movement3 of The Sea). • Debussy’s Claire de Lune.

  5. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) • French • Interests in the exotic and jazz • Portrayed ideas more than images. • La Valse (The Waltz) about the decline of European society. • Le tombeau de Couperin (The tomb of Couperin) was written as a response to the loss of friends in WWI. • Most famous piece is Bolero(15 mins) • one melody that repeats over and over with different instruments playing it each time.

  6. Visual Art - Impressionism and Post-Impressionism • Occurred primarily in France between 1867-1886 • Focused on the effects of light, atmospheric conditions and capturing a moment in time. • Photographs were black and white • Post-Impressionists explored the expression of reality in new ways, using color and form.
