Document Summary
Barbara pentland, tellus (approach to 12 tone music, governing principle) Ellen taaffe zwilich, symphony #1 (convince family, rest of life in toronto she was interested in serial music, studied with student schoenberg) Pentland, tellus (means land, suggest music can tell us) Built on 12 tone row, but quite freely employed. Neo romantic employs tonal centers and (cid:498)developing variation(cid:499) (piece have tonal centers that way its still shows influence of tonality we don"t. Went to the edge and different direction, they understand all of the element music history. Atonal/ serial music can be beautiful and sensuously appealing. It is patronizing not to challenge an audience. Serious art requires serious attention and cannot be grasped immediately. Defence for zwilich, symphony #1 (and the neo romantic style) Classcial music needs to reconnect with its audience really see the traditional its not actual romantic music, large orchestra 3rd and 5th even language is dissonance we still get triad recurring romantic idea)
