More on the Second Viennese School: Berg and Webern

Total Serialism

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.

Olivier Messiaen: the birdman

Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to speak about another composer who was particularly influential in this post-tonal timeframe that we are going through - and that was Olivier Messiaen. I know I said in the last episode we would be chatting more about serialist composers and extensions of serialism, but I think it is important that we discuss Messiaen, as many of those composers studied with him.

The Neoclassical Period

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we move on to another genre of music that was developing in the 20th century; this was Neoclassicism. We are going to chat about specific traits of neoclassical music as well as composers who pioneered and shaped this style in today’s episode.

More on the Second Viennese School: Berg and Webern

Welcome back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to chat about the other two composers from the Second Viennese School in more depth; these composers are Alban Berg and Anton Webern. We know that Arnold Schoenberg was also a part of this group of composers, so if you want to learn more about him, I suggest you listen to the last two episodes! Berg and Webern were some of his first students who got to see serialism and 12-tone technique from its inception.
