colorful and evocative musical
Landscapes through the use of
orchestration and Harmony they often
used non-traditional scales modes and
extended harmonies to achieve unique
textures and colors in their
compositions next we have atmosphere and
mood impressionist music focuses on
capturing the mood or atmosphere of a
particular scene or moment composers
were less concerned with narrative or
storytelling and more interested in the
feelings and emotions evoked by the
music use of dber impressionist
composers paid close attention to the
timberl qualities of musical instruments
they experimented with unusual
instrumental combinations and techniques
to create a distinctive Sonic palette
next is fluidity and ambigu ity
impressionist music often lacks
clear-cut Melodies and rhythms instead
it tends to flow and evolve gradually
with a sense of ambiguity and fluidity
that mirrors the shifting nature of
human perception and the last

styles of WC and revel as the two major
exponents of French impressionism and
music WC and revel had crossed paths
during their lifetime although WC was 13
years older than Revel but their musical
Works sound quite similar in terms of
their harmonic and textual
characteristics the two differ greatly
in their personalities and approach to
music WC was more spontaneous and
liberal in form while Ruel was very
attentive to the classical Norms of
musical structure and compositional
craftsmanship DEC was more casual in his
portrayal of visual imagery Revel was
