Nocturne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (545 words) |
 | A nocturne (from the French for "nocturnal") is usually a musical composition that is inspired by, or evocative of, the night. |
| The first nocturnes to be written as such were by the Irish composer John Field, generally viewed as the father of the modern nocturne. |
| Nocturnes are generally thought of as being tranquil, often expressive and lyrical, and sometimes rather gloomy, but in practice pieces with the name nocturne have conveyed a variety of moods: the second of Debussy's orchestral Nocturnes, "Fêtes", for example, is very lively. |
