Total Serialism

About this episode

This episode discusses total serialism and composers who expanded on Schoenberg's 12-tone technique.

Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Today, we are going to continue talking about serialism, but we are going to address some other composers who latched on to Schoenberg’s new 12-tone technique. These composers did not only that, but also expanded this technique to crazy levels. We call this, total serialism . Some composers who embraced this were Milton Babbitt , Pierre Boulez , and Karlheinz Stockhausen . We will also talk about Luciano Berio in this episode.
