| | Ambient Music |
 | | The complementary forces of impressionist and expressionist artistic styles are an integral part of the modernist and post-modernist palette, and ambient music serves as the impressionist counterpart to the expressionist mainstream of the current musical culture. | | | Like most ambient music, there's nothing complex or large about the song, but there's something indescribable that it achieves musically, and is unique to the genre. | | | It's music to dance to, at 30 beats per minute, no doubt, and the cultural resonances of the accomplishment seem to show up in many unexpected areas of pop and electronic music even today. |

| | Erik Satie: The First Modern Composer |
| | Together they invented a new harmonic/tonal vocabulary for music that tried to emulate the "blurred images" of French impressionist art and differed from the Germanic, Wagnerian style of music they believed had become entrenched and thwarted a unique French style. | | | It is a precursor of Muzak, music that is meant to be ignored, i.e., background music. | | | This music, which represents Debussy's music at this time and earlier, is in a clear key, is diatonic, and displays a conventional harmonic vocabulary. |

| | Curio Corner: If only they had scored for films:- Victor DE SABATA (1892-1967): Film Music on the Web CD Reviews April 2002 |
| | This is descriptive, impressionistic music, predominantly serene and contemplative, the music fragrant colourful and evocative of moonlit fountains, flowers and birdsong. | | | In that capacity, he has left a significant legacy of recordings of late Romantic and Impressionist music, notably recordings of works by Debussy and Respighi; and probably the best-ever recording of Puccini's Tosca with Callas, di Stefano and Gobbi (reissued this month by EMI, at mid-price in their 'Great Recordings of the Century' series). | | | One can easily imagine this music being used in some Hollywood biblical epic. |

| | Music Lovers Den |
| | In music, as in all the arts, expression became either overt (as in the early symphonic poems of Richard Strauss (1864-1949), the huge symphonies of Gustav Mahler, or the operas of Giacomo Puccini), or was merely suggested (as in the so-called "impressionist" music of Claude Debussy. | | | With the commercial dissemination of music through the various media providing music as a constant background, the general populace has largely dismissed much of the music produced using bold, new, or experimental styles, preferring to turn to the forms and genres (and often the composers) with which it is most familiar. | | | Twentieth-century music has seen a great coming and going of various movements, among them post-romanticism, serialism and neo-classicism in the earlier years of the century, all of which were practiced at one time or another by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. |

| | CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Boccherini Biography |
| | His musical essence being more about sound than ideas, we might consider Boccherini as the impressionist of his era. | | | Perhaps his most well known work is the Minuet you can listen to in the Classical Music Archives. | | | "Papa" Haydn's musical influence on Boccherini was to become so pervasive that music lovers at that time proclaimed Boccherini to be "the wife of Haydn." At the same time, it is Boccherini's beautiful sense of sound and texture, and relatively less interest in thematic material as an end unto itself, that distintinguishes him from Haydn. |

| | AllBrazilianMusic: the music from Brazil |
| | The influence of impressionist composers like Debussy and Ravel, the dissatisfaction with restrictive local music formats and the overwhelming power of American culture in the Post-War period enabled the emergence of clever, controversial artists like guitarists Garoto, Luís Bonfá, João Donato and specially composer/pianist Johnny Alf. | | | Yet, he would also write with Edu Lobo the song that symbolized the end of the movement, Arrastão, performed by Elis Regina in 1965 and regarded as the first Brazilian Popular Music song. | | | Bossa novas tripod, as shaped by João Gilberto, was set upon Antonio Carlos Jobims musical density and Vinicius de Moraes poetic brilliance. |
