The late great composer, Shoenberg, had decided he wanted to take his music in a different direction. Shoenberg was alive during the romantic era in music, and was something of a forefather into the world of Post Modern serial music.
The idea that Schoenberg had was to alleviate harmony and tonality and create a new way to make interesting music. At the time, he had believed it would secure the supremacy of German music for the next century. His idea was to use each of the 12 semitones in a scale the same amount during a piece, to destroy any reference to a tonal centre. The result of this idea was the 12 tone series, and while it may not be the easiest thing to listen to, it certainly has its place in the world of music. It can have this really creepy feeling to it, which is a quality that every good modern composer should be able to emulate. How does it work? Each of the 12 notes must be played in sequence before a note is repeated. A good way of doing this is creating a 12 tone row, and augmenting in certain ways Retrograde: playing the same sequence in reverse order. Inversion: playing the same sequence with the intervals swapped from ascending to descending. retrograde inversion: Both
Here is my tone matrix.
Now from here i can select either a row or a column to play in a sequence in the music. I might select rows that compliment one another, i might have a certain code hidden in the music using the numbers or letters. For my piece i selected numbers that correspond with my birth date: 10/08/1992 You can view the score just below
