Nationalist |
AV |
The Late Romantic period saw a growing strain of nationalism among certain composers.
For instance, the Russian Five, including Modest Mussorgsky, saw themselves as breaking
free from Western European hegemony and forging a distinctly Russian style. Other
composers such as Jean Sibelius of Finland and Frédéric Chopin of Poland incorporated
nationalist elements into their music as a reaction against Russian dominance of their
respective homelands. In all areas of Europe, incorporation of old folk tunes in compositions
became a significant way of emphasizing national themes.

NeoClassical |

Aesthetic trend which took place largely between the world wars, Neo-Classical music
represented an infatuation with the perceived orderliness of Classical music as opposed
to the perceived formlessness and lack of restraint of late Romantic music and the
extremes of early 20th-century experimental music. Neo-Classical music involved the
use of Classical (and older) forms of music such as the concerto grosso, devices such
as ostinato figures and long pedal notes, and the quotation of old melodies, such
as in Igor Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella.

Serves to inspire relaxation and positive spiritual feelings. Its ethereal textures

compositions sit on a spectrum from acoustic to electric, with many instances in-between.
Acoustic forms often incorporate flute, piano, and acoustic guitar in addition to
a variety of non-Western instruments, whereas electronic forms tend to contain sustained
synth pads and lengthy sequencer patterns. When present, vocals often consist of references
to different mythologies or chants inspired by Native American, Sanskrit and Tibetan
traditions. Emerged in the 1960s and attained major record label support by the 80s.

NewWave |
AV |
The term 'New Wave' began as a near synonym with punk in the early 1970s, and gradually
diverged to refer to groups with a punk ethos, but which played more polished and
lyrically and musically sophisticated styles than punk groups. Compared to punk music,
New Wave prominently featured synthesizers, a jittery sound, a broader range of cultural
influences, and frequently, a nerdy aesthetic (see the Talking Head, Elvis Costello).
As synthesizers and drum machines engulfed popular music in the 1980s, New Wave came
to indicate more of a pop-based than a rock-based style, and was used to refer to
synthpop groups such as Duran Duran.

NouvelleChanson |
AV |
Also known as 'New Chanson', Nouvelle Chanson is a recently coined buzzword used to
define a new style of music emerging in France one which takes clear inspiration from
the forefathers of French Chanson (including Jacques Brel Barbara and Charles Aznavour)
albeit in an updated style. However the principal influences appear to be the more
avant-garde artists. The defining characteristic of Chanson both old and new is that
it focuses on the French language as vehicle and instrument.

NoWave |
AV |
An avant-garde music scene that existed in the late 1970s and early 80s in New York
City. Most No Wave groups prominently featured dissonance, atonality, and noise in
their music, and they generally foregrounded musical texture over melody. No Wave
groups, unlike other reactive scenes of the 70s, such as punk, generally rejected
common rock tropes. The name 'No Wave' is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the then
mainstream genre of New Wave. No Wave music varied widely in sound, and groups took
influence from genres such as funk, free jazz, blues, and punk rock. No Wave represented
a nihilistic philosophy inspired by the urban decay of 1970s New York. Brian Eno's
compilation album No New York is a good introduction to the scene. In the 80s, the
No Wave scene gravitated toward making more danceable music, and started to work in
elements of hip hop, disco, dub reggae, and world music.
