WHAT DOES TONE POEM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tone poem

Symphonic poem

A symphonic poem or tone poem is a piece of orchestral or concert band music, usually in a single continuous section that illustrates or evokes the content of a poem, short story, novel, painting, landscape, or other source. Hungarian composer Franz Liszt first applied the term to his 13 works in this vein. In its aesthetic objectives, the symphonic poem is in some ways related to opera. Whilst it does not use a sung text—it seeks, like opera, a union of music and drama. While many symphonic poems may compare in size and scale to symphonic movements, they are unlike traditional classical symphonic movements, in that their music is intended to inspire listeners to imagine or consider scenes, images, specific ideas or moods, and not to focus on following traditional patterns of musical form. This intention to inspire listeners was a direct consequence of Romanticism, which encouraged literary, pictorial and dramatic associations in music. Musical works that attempt to inspire listeners in this way are often referred to as program music, while music that has no such associations may be called absolute music.
