Mind Map 8 (Chapter 55 (Replacement of tonality - 12 tone method…

- - - - 1922
      - Originally a play by Buchner
      - Opera in 3 acts; 5 scenes; orchestral interludes
      - Story told through speak singing
      - Starts off with percussion then singing accompanied by light strings and flutes. The piece is quite hectic, not having much flow. With the melody being interrupted by percussion and changes of pitch in singing throughout the entire piece. Quiets down towards the end and only uses strings and flutes to accompany the singer.
- - - - 1943
      - Orchestral concerto
      - Starts off slow, with strings and woodwind being majority of the melody. A very calm and relaxed theme throughout. Takes the rondo form, with irregular meters. Is a well put together piece and was very pleasant to listen to.
- - - - 2005
      - Focuses on last days and hours before atomic test
      - hugely complex subject, combining arts and science
      - Is a very loud piece, using lots of brass and percussion throughout. Repetition takes place, though it is very short and difficult to pick up on. Is a very complex orchestra that focuses mostly on dissonance, is helped with non-natural instruments to achieve the level of dissonance.
- - - - "Ode to Joy" finale widely used for political aims
      - Symphony 5 (LG 23)
        
        Four movements but is unified
        
        Conflict early in the movements but is resolved in final
        
        Starts off chaotic with a rise in tension through out the first movements, has large shifts in the tone. Switching between minor and major quickly. Does have lots of repetition through out the piece. I particularly do not like it, being too jumpy and dissonant for my liking.
