Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia - Contemporary classical music

In the broadest sense, contemporary music is any music being written in the present day. In the context of classical music the term applies to music written in the last half century or so, particularly works post-1960. The argument over whether the term applies to music in any style, or whether it applies only to composers writing avant-garde music, or "modernist" music is a subject of hot debate. There is some use of "Contemporary" as a synonym for "Modern", particularly in academic settings, whereas others are more restrictive and a ...

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia - BACH motif

In music, the BACH motif is the sequence of notes B flat, A, C, B natural. This four-note motif has been used by a number of composers, usually as a homage to Johann Sebastian Bach. The first known example, however, is in a piece by Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck—it is possible, though not certain, that he used it in homage to one of Johann Sebastian's ancestors, many of whom were themselves musicians. The possibility of being able to spell the surname Bach in this way comes about because in German B indicates what in English is called B flat, while H indi ...

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia - Symphony

A symphony is an extended piece of music usually for orchestra and comprising several movements.

Instrumental, to be played by an orchestra of the relativ ...

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia II - Requiem - The Roman Catholic service

This use of the word requiem comes from the opening words of the Introit: Requiem æternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis. (Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and may everlasting light shine upon them.) The requiem mass differs from the ordinary mass in omitting certain joyful passages such as the Gloria, Credo, and Alleluia, and by the addition the sequence Dies Iræ. The regular texts of the musical portions to be found in the Roman Catholic liturgy, laid down at the Tridentine Council, are the follo ...

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia II - Secular Jewish culture - Literary and artistic culture

In some places where there have been relatively high concentrations of Jews, distinct secular Jewish subcultures have arisen. For example, ethnic Jews formed an enormous proportion of the literary and artistic life of Vienna, Austria at the end of the 19th century, or of New York City 50 years later (and Los Angeles in the mid-late 20th century), and for the most part these were not particularly religious people. In general, however, Jewish artistic culture in various periods reflected the culture in which they lived ...

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia II - Serialism - History of serial music

The serialization of rhythm, dynamics etc developed after the Second World War by arguing that the twelve-tone music of Arnold Schoenberg and his followers of the Second Viennese School had serialized pitch, and was partly fostered by the work of Olivier Messiaen and his analysis students, including Karel Goeyvaerts and Boulez, in post-war Paris. Twelve-tone music is regarded by some as a sub-category of serialism, and by others serialism is seen as an outgrowth of twelve-tone music.

Alfred Schnittke: Encyclopedia II - Postmodern music - The postmodern musical style

Postmodern music - Modernist influences and postmodern philosophy. In the modern period, recording of music was seen as a way of transcribing an external event, as a photograph is supposed to record a moment in time. However, with the invention of magnetic tape in the 1930's the ability to directly edit a recording, and create a result which did not actually occur, made it possible for a recording to be viewed as the end product of artistic work itself. Through the 1950's, most music, even popular music, presented itself as the capturing of a performance, even if t ...
