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.
