 QUESTION 7            ROMANTIC MUSIC

 7.1    Discuss the fourth movement of Brahms’ symphony no. 4 in E minor op.98.

        Your discussion must be based on the following aspects:

        7.1.1      FORM
                      Variation form was used, superimposed by an overarching
                      form in ABA (Coda).
                      A (var. 1-11) B (var. 12-15) A (var. 16-30) Coda.
                      Thirty variations and extended coda.
                      Strong similarities between this movement and Baroque
                      Passacaglia.                                                         (3)

        7.1.2      TEXTURE
                      Mixture homophonic and polyphonic textures
                      Mainly polyphonic texture
                      Mostly thick texture
                      Larger orchestra caused more complex structure
                      Unusual combinations of instruments are used to vary the
                      texture                                                              (3)

        7.1.3      HARMONY
                      Very rich and chromatic harmonic language
                      Many keys are used (often remote keys)
                      Extensive use and colourful modulations occur
                      Use of root and third without the fifth in chords and themes         (3)

        7.1.4      DYNAMICS
                      Wide dynamic range possible because of the extended
                      orchestra
                      Dynamics used to demonstrate emotions
                      Extreme dynamic indications were used, e.g. pp-ff
                      Abrupt contrasts and extended crescendos                             (3)

 7.2    Select ONE of the following Romantic compositions you have studied and
        mention SIX style characteristics of the piece you have chosen.

        7.2.1      Schubert: Erlkönig
                         Schubert uses a through-composed form structure to
                         capture the content and character of the poem.
                         The piano part with its rapid octaves and menacing bass
                         motive conveys the tension of the wild ride.
                         The piano's continuous triplet rhythm unifies the episodes of
                         the song and suggests the horse's gallop.
                         By imaginatively varying the music, Schubert makes one
                         singer sing like several characters in a miniature drama.
                         E.g. the terrified boy sings in a higher register in minor key.
                         Each time the boy sings a musical outcry it is intensified
                         through dissonant harmonies.
                         To convey mounting fear, Schubert pitches the boy's outcry
                         higher and higher each time.

     7.2.2   Chopin: Polonaise in A flat major

                   Short solo instrumental music piece that portrays an idea or
                   atmosphere and started flourishing in the Romantic period.
                   The polonaise originated as a stately dance for Polish
                   nobility.
                   The piece therefore demonstrates musical nationalism
                   depicting the Polish national identity.
                   The polonaise is majestic and powerful with moments of
                   lyrical contrast.
                   It evokes the ancient splendour of the Polish people.
                   Ternary form with an introduction and short coda.
                   The main theme has a wide-ranging accompaniment.
                   The contrasting B section consists of a march-like melody
                   accompanied by repeated octaves in the left hand.
                   It requires a high level of technical proficiency from the
                   pianist.

     7.2.3   Puccini: La Bohème

                   Portrays a Bohemian life similar to his own life as an
                   impoverished music student.
                   There is a smooth transition from one scene or mood to the
                   next.
                   The melodies are made out of short, easily remembered
                   phrases and are intensely emotional.
                   He used the orchestra to reinforce the vocal melody and to
                   suggest atmosphere, landscape and mood.
                   He minimised the difference between aria and recitative,
                   creating a continuous flow of music.
                   Characters and plot revealed through song – Main
                   characters are Rudolfo, a young poet and Mimi, a poor
                   seamstress.
                   Large Romantic orchestra.
                   La Bohème has four acts. Puccini achieves unity and
                   continuity by using the same material in different acts.
                   Puccini was very much concerned with the literary and
                   dramatic qualities of his librettos.

        7.2.4      Smetana: The Moldau

                         An orchestral composition that relates a particular story,
                         picture or idea through the use of sound.
                         It depicts the flow of the Moldau through Czechoslovakia.
                         Two streamlets (one warm, and one cold), which are both
                         represented by their own instruments (flute – cold; clarinet –
                         warm).
                         The rivers converge into a large river – becomes the river
                         theme.
                         A hunting exhibition is pictured by a dotted rhythm in the
                         music.
                         A country dance has typical folk-like character.
                         The work is part of the cycle Má Vlast (My Country).
                         The piece is both a romantic representation of nature and a
                         display of Czech nationalism.
                         Contrasting musical sections that represent different scenes
                         and episodes described in the programme.
                         A recurring folk-like theme symbolises the river.
                         Running notes portray the running river.
                         Smetana uses musical effects that call to mind a flowing
                         stream, a hunting scene, a peasant wedding and the crash
                         of waves.
                         Hunting along the riverbank is suggested by horn fanfares.
                         The peasant wedding is suggested by a rustic polka.

        7.2.5      Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor, first movement

                         The Concerto offers a unique fusion of lyricism and
                         virtuosity.
                         Consists of three movements, played without pause.
                         Both first and third movements are in sonata form.
                         Good interplay between soloist and orchestra, with themes
                         passing from one to another, producing a beautiful contrast
                         of tone colour and expression.
                         The first movement begins with the soloist who presents the
                         first theme above the murmuring strings. Traditionally the
                         orchestra would have an extended opening section.
                         The piece uses a wide range of dynamics.
                         The concerto features unusual combinations of instruments.
                         The cadenza is placed between the development and the
                         recapitulation to become an integral part of the movement.
                                                                                           (6)

 QUESTION 9            INTERNATIONAL POPULAR MUSIC

 In January 2012 you attended a concert in Bloemfontein. The best of international
 pop musicians performed at the Loch Logan Rose Garden. One of the following
 artists’/groups’ songs you have studied was performed by a different artist/group.
 Imagine and describe the details of this performance.

 For the teacher:
       The candidates will be required to generate an imaginary performance and
       substantiate their opinions in relation to the facts below.
       The facts below do not count unless they are referred to substantiate the
       candidate's opinion.
       The marks allocated must be based on the overall impression of the
       candidate’s insight.

 9.1    Girl/Boy bands

        Westlife
              Their musical influences stem from boy bands that have gone before
              them such as Boyzone and Take That.
              In recent albums the group's sound has evolved from youth-oriented
              pop to mainstream music.
              Their style of music now is a mature blend of ballads and mid-tempo
              tunes.
              The music has specific stylistic traits such as:
              o      danceable beat
              o      simple melodies
              o      repetitive structure.
              People can catch on and join in easily.
              The Girl/Boy Bands phenomenon often involves mass marketing and
              consumer-driven efforts by major record companies.
              The influence of R&B on pop can be heard in the work of several
              Boy/Girl Bands

9.2   Brit pop
      Oasis
             Britpop bands were strongly influenced by the British guitar music of
             the 1960s and 1970s.
             Their music style reflects a sense of reverence for the sounds of the
             past.
             Stylistically, Oasis relied on catchy hooks.
             Lyrics that were meant to be relevant to British young people of their
             own generation.
             Strive towards simplicity.
             Rock beats

9.3   Heavy metal
      Metallica
             It is typically characterised by a guitar-and-drum-dominated sound,
             strong rhythms, and classical, bluesy or symphonic styles.
             However, heavy metal sub-genres contain their own stylistic
             variations that often omit or alter many of these characteristics.
             The most commonly used line-up for a metal band is a drummer, a
             bassist, a rhythm guitarist, a lead guitarist, and a singer – who may or
             may not be an instrumentalist.
             Keyboards (especially the organ) were popular with early metal
             bands.
             A key aspect of much heavy metal is the guitar solo.
             Uses a highly amplified distorted sound.
             The lead role of the guitar in heavy metal often collides with the
             traditional "front man" or bandleader role of the vocalist, which
             creates a musical tension. Both guitar and vocals have equal
             importance in heavy metal.
             James Hatfield’s intentionally gruff vocal style contributes to the
             variety of vocal styles in heavy metal.
             Fast tempi and complex arrangement.

9.4   R&B pop
      Michael Jackson
           Contemporary R&B is a genre of American popular music.
           Although the acronym "R&B" originates from its association with
           traditional rhythm and blues music, the term R&B is today most often
           used to define a style of African American music originating after the
           demise of disco in the 1980s.
           Often described as contemporary R&B, combines elements of soul,
           funk, pop, and, from 1986 on, hip hop.
           The abbreviation R&B is almost always used instead of the full
           rhythm and blues term.
           Contemporary R&B has an electronic record production style, drum
           machine backed rhythms, and a smooth, lush style of vocal
           arrangement.
           Uses of hip hop-inspired beats are typical, although the roughness
           and grit is usually reduced and smoothed out.
           Exceptional vocal style.

              for his work through the 1970s.
              In 1970 Bowie released The Man Who Sold the World, rejecting the
              acoustic guitar sound of the previous album and replacing it with
              heavy rock accompaniment.                                                     [8]
