	MUTH 376 - Extended Twelve-tone Techniques First Semester. By 1923 Arnold Schoenberg had invented a new compositional approach known today as the twelve-tone technique. Schoenberg’s twelve-tone compositional method eventually became a springboard from which new compositional methods were introduced. The “rules” first codified by Schoenberg were broken and altered to create new musical sounds. Composers such as Oliver Messiaen, Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Milton Babbitt, Igor Stravinsky, and George Perle, to name just a few, borrowed the idea of a twelve-tone row and chnged the norms, thus creating their own musical language and compositional method. Beginning with Schoenberg’s twelve-tone music, this couse will then investigate the many different approaches to Schoenberg’s twelve-tone method. Primary and secondary readings from the literature will be required in addition to analyses and essays. Prerequisites & Notes Prerequisite: MUTH 232 Enrollment Limit: 20 Consent of the instructor is required. Mr. Stoecker Credits: 3

Readings will be assigned from the theoretical literature, including work by Peles, Samet, Babbitt, Mead and Lewin. Among questions to be looked at are: How do we go about understanding this music as heard? How does this music relate to earlier practices? What does it teach us about earlier compositions? and What have other composers made of Schoenberg’s “method for composing with twelve tones related only one to another”?
