1 Music of the Romantic Era STILL MORE Verdi & Puccini; Debussy

2 “Folk”  NATIONALISM Verdi and V.E.R.D.I (political unrest in 1840s & 50s) Composer as national/popular figure LISTENING EXAMPLE FROM Rigoletto (1851) “La Donna Mobilé” – easy to sing!

3 Puccini La Bohème (1896) – most performed opera in the 20 th Century, rivaled only by Madama Butterfly (1904) Sentimental look at artsy types in the “past,” fifty years previous VERISMO – “Realism” in opera – (what is realistic about any opera?) humble characters in poverty Effective story-telling – fewer subplots; ‘the best libretto could be understood by a deaf man’ NOT IN TEXTBOOK

4 Debussy

5 Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun (Prelude a l'apres-midi d'un faune) (1894) -- inspired by a poem inspired by a painting of a Classical mythical story -- exoticism, mythical pastoral -- ambiguous (vague?) harmony -- very little, if any, recognizable conventional or traditional form -- very well received at its premiere by the public; it baffled the musical establishment -- emphasis on sonority (timbre & colorful harmony) -- called Impressionist, although Debussy hated the term Listening example
