  Musical Forms - Programme Music
Programme music, which has been contrasted with Absolute Music, is distinguished by its attempt to depict objects and events.
The 'programme' as a basic determining idea in symphonic music gave rise to many of the great works of Czech and Russian nationalism, to Mahler's symphonies and to the French school of orchestral writing, and survived info the 20th century, receiving no serious intellectual setback until the reaction led by Schönberg, Bartók and Stravinsky.
Composers then tended to turn their backs on programme music and find their way to expression through more abstract musical means; but in the 1960s and 1970s some revival of programmatic devices could be noted in works by younger composers.

  Program music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Program music is music intended to evoke extra-musical ideas, images in the mind of the listener by musically representing a scene, image or mood [1].
The term is almost exclusively applied to works in the European classical music tradition, particularly those from the Romantic music period of the 19th century, during which the concept was popular, but pieces which fit the description have long been a part of music.
Music that is composed to accompany opera and ballet is, of course, program music, even when presented separately as a concert piece.

Such burlesques have their bearing on programme music, in so far as they involve the musical portrayal of character and give opportunity for masterly studies of the psychology of failure.
Modern programme music shows many divergent tendencies, the least significant of which is the common habit of giving fantastic titles to pieces of instrumental music after they have been composed, as was the case with many of Schumann's pianoforte lyrics.
