ISBN 2-907891-22-7 It is most particularly used as a distinction to Popular Music and Traditional Music . Arnold, Denis (1983). " Art Music, Art Song," in ''The New Oxford Companion to Music, Volume 1: A-J'', Oxford University Press, p. P.111, . ISBN 0-19-311316-3 While basically referring primarily to western historical classical music, the term may refer to:
It must be added that some of the distinctions between popular and art music have sometimes been blurred particularly in the late 20th century. Arnold, Denis (1983). " Art Music, Art Song," in ''The New Oxford Companion to Music, Volume 1: A-J'', Oxford University Press, p. P.111, . ISBN 0-19-311316-3 Because of certain fusions between art and popular music notably. So some may regard certain forms of popular-based music such as Art-rock as art-music. However it must be noted that many fans of experimental popular music (such as Art Rock and Avant-garde Metal ) tend to mistake the sense of the word art music. They tend to use it in another sense. In their conception the art music concept is used to refer to some authentic and creative music as opposed to commercial music. Hence some occasional confusions when the art music word is used to refer to music. CHARACTERISTICS The term primarily refers to classical traditions (including contemporary as well as historical classical music forms), focuses on formal styles, invites technical and detailed deconstruction Siron,Jacques "Musique Savante(serious music)",''Dictionnaire des mots de la musique'', Outre Mesure, paris, p.242 ISBN 2-907891-22-7 and criticism, and demands focused attention from the listener. Art music is considered primarily a written musical tradition Arnold, Denis (1983). " Art Music, Art Song," in ''The New Oxford Companion to Music, Volume 1: A-J'', Oxford University Press, p. P.111, . ISBN 0-19-311316-3, preserved in some form of Music Notation , as opposed to being transmitted orally, by rote, or in recordings (like Popular and Traditional Music ) Arnold, Denis (1983).
In some modern or experimental forms, the written notation of art music may depart from standard musical notation and use a variety of new types of notation to facilitate the exploratory nature of these new forms of music. The inclusion of the new forms within the definition of "art music" is based upon the intention of the composer for the experience created by the music and upon the method of the composer in communicating the substance of the music to the performer. In other words, while the notation may not be formal or traditional, there remains an element of formality or intellectual discipline to the construction and communication of the content of the work. ART MUSIC AND POPULAR MUSIC In general, Art music is separate from by George Gershwin . This piece is written in formal notation and performed as written, as with classical music, and is generally considered to be within the realm of contemporary classical music. However its sound includes elements of Jazz and Blues, and it became known in the mass market as a work of popular music while clearly it remains within the purview of Art music as well. ART MUSIC AND TRADITIONAL MUSIC Art music is also usually considered separate from Traditional Music (often referred to as "Folk Music"), although again, there are examples of fusional styles and borrowing. The earliest European art music was derived in part from the traditional music of the day. Many of the Romantic era composers wrote works which incorporated the tunes of the Traditional Music s of their nations. Examples include Gottschalk 's ''Fantasy on the Brazilian National Anthem'', Liszt 's Hungarian Rhapsodies , and Chopin 's Polonaise s. As an example of the reverse, the sea chanty Toll For The Brave was written to the march from Handel 's Scipione . SEE ALSO REFERENCES |
