  • The Order of Numbers in the Second Viennese School of Music
    The order of numbers in the Second Viennese School of Music Carlota Sim˜oes Department of Mathematics University of Coimbra Portugal Mathematics and Music seem nowadays independent areas of knowledge. Nevertheless, strong connections exist between them since ancient times. Twentieth-century music is no exception, since in many aspects it admits an obvious mathematical formalization. In this article some twelve-tone music rules, as created by Schoenberg, are presented and translated into math- ematics. The representation obtained is used as a tool in the analysis of some compositions by Schoenberg, Berg, Webern (the Second Viennese School) and also by Milton Babbitt (a contemporary composer born in 1916). The Second Viennese School of Music The 12-tone music was condemned by the Nazis (and forbidden in the occupied Europe) because its author was a Jew; by the Stalinists for having a bourgeois cosmopolitan formalism; by the public for being different from everything else. Roland de Cand´e[2] Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951) was born in Vienna, in a Jewish family. He lived several years in Vienna and in Berlin. In 1933, forced to leave the Academy of Arts of Berlin, he moved to Paris and short after to the United States. He lived in Los Angeles from 1934 until the end of his life. In 1923 Schoenberg presented the twelve-tone music together with a new composition method, also adopted by Alban Berg (1885-1935) and Anton Webern (1883-1945), his students since 1904. The three composers were so closely associated that they became known as the Second Viennese School of Music.

  • Study Guide: Graduate Placement Examination in Music History
    GRADUATE PLACEMENT EXAMINATION IN MUSIC HISTORY STUDY GUIDE The Graduate Placement Examination in Music History is designed to ascertain whether incoming graduate students have a knowledge of music history commensurate with an undergraduate degree in music. It is typically offered prior to the first day of classes each semester. Students are asked to identify important historical figures, define important terms, compose a brief essay, and draw conclusions from a musical score. Some knowledge of musical traditions beyond the Western/European classical traditions, including topics such as “world music,” “folk music,” and “popular music,” is also expected. The ninety-minute examination comprises the following sections: 1. identification of composers and schools of composition (choose from a list provided during the exam); worth 25 points, allow approximately 20 minutes 2. identification of terms (choose from a list provided during the exam); worth 25 points, allow approximately 20 minutes 3. essay (choose a topic from a list provided during the exam); worth 30 points, allow approximately 30 minutes 4. score identification, including: historical period and approximate date of composition; genre, its important stylistic features, and how/where they can be seen in the piece; and the name of the likely composer; worth 20 points, allow approximately 20 minutes. This study guide provides lists, organized by historical era (with approximate dates), of major figures, genres, and terms from music history. They are not necessarily complete or comprehensive lists of items that will appear on the test. For further review, the faculty recommend consulting the textbook (and accompanying scores and recordings) used in the undergraduate core music history sequence in the Department of Music.

  • Minimalism: Towards a Definition Adrian Smith
    Minimalism: towards a definition Adrian Smith It is somewhat ironic that the Minimalist movement, which has been hailed by many as a welcome return to simplicity, has arguably provoked more terminological confusion than any other musical movement in the twentieth century. What is Minimalism when applied to music? Is it an adequate term to describe this movement or does it have misleading connotations? Does it show parallels with its counterpart in the visual arts? In what context did it arise? These are all frequently asked questions which this chapter will attempt to answer. Many of the attempts to define Minimalism thus far have only focused on obvious surface features without probing deeper into its musical core. The result of all this is that after thirty years of Minimalist scholarship we have a widespread acceptance of a term which is still not fully understood. In order to address this situation comprehensively, this chapter will be divided into two distinct but nonetheless intrinsically linked sections. The first section will focus on the inadequacy of ‘Minimalism' as a descriptive term when applied to music. Ultimately, however, it must be conceded that it is too late for a name change and we must accept what is now a common currency in musicological terms. Since this is the case and we are dealing with an accepted term, an understanding of the generic essence of the music itself and an awareness of the term’s limitations is necessary. This is the argument which will comprise the second half of this chapter. I will examine the nucleus of this music and put forward a definition which will adequately describe the music of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass, the four composers most associated with the movement.

Twelve-tone Serialism: Exploring the Works of Anton Webern ______________________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty and the Honors Program Of the University of San Diego ______________________ By James Patrick Kinney Music 2015 Introduction Whenever I tell people I am double majoring in mathematics and music, I usually get one of two responses: either “I’ve heard those two are very similar” or “Really? Wow, those are total opposites!” The truth is that mathematics and music have much more in common than most people, including me, understand. There have been at least two books written as extensions of lecture notes for university classes about this connection between math and music. One was written by David Wright at Washington University in St. Louis, and he introduces the book by saying “It has been observed that mathematics is the most abstract of the sciences, music the most abstract of the arts” and references both Pythagoras and J.S.

  • The Locked Door
    The Locked Door Viennese Modernism and Its Place in a Disinterested Modern World Benjamin Gabbay Copyright © Benjamin Gabbay 2016 2 If a casual listener of Western classical music were asked to define Austrian music, what might their answer be? From my observations, the most common attributions to the category include the music of Haydn, Beethoven, and Mozart, perhaps the soulful folksongs featured in The Sound of Music, and certainly the waltzes of Johann Strauss Sr. and his sons. Indeed, it would seem that, from Austria’s establishment of “The Blue Danube” waltz as its unofficial national anthem, to the globally televised annual Vienna New Year’s Concert (whose programs are largely dedicated to Austro-German waltz and polka music of the 19th century), this generalization is true. Yet, a significant peculiarity in Viennese music history becomes apparent when considering a Toronto performance by Viennese string quartet “ensemble LUX,” a group of virtuoso performers “primarily dedicated to the performance and promotion of contemporary chamber music” (EnsembleLUX.at). The 2016 Toronto concert at the University of Toronto’s Walter Hall, the third stop of their North American debut that already covered New York and Montreal, was put on “in celebration of 100 years of Austrian modern music,” and “made possible through a generous gift from the Austrian Embassy” (Performance.rcmusic.ca). The concert program was dedicated to the “Austrian modern music” in question—music that stems from the tradition commonly referred to as the Second Viennese School, a distinctly Austrian school of thought first set into motion by composer Arnold Schoenberg at the turn of the 20th century.

This early, crucial reception history has been incredibly significant and subversive; the details of the personal and political motivations behind deeply negative or manically positive responses to Schoenberg’s music have not been preserved with the same fidelity as the scandalous reactions themselves. We know that Schoenberg was feared, despised, lauded, and imitated early in his career, but much of the explanation as to why has been forgotten or overlooked.

  • Timbre in Modern Music
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture THE EVOLUTION OF SCHOENBERG’S KLANGFARBENMELODIE: THE IMPORTANCE OF TIMBRE IN MODERN MUSIC A Thesis in Musicology by Christopher Lloyd Hamberger 2012 Christopher Lloyd Hamberger Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2012 The thesis of Christopher Lloyd Hamberger was reviewed and approved* by the following: Maureen A. Carr Distinguished Professor of Music Theory Thesis Advisor Charles D. Youmans Associate Professor of Musicology Marica S. Tacconi Professor of Musicology Assistant Director for Research and Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg is viewed today as one of the most influential and controversial figures of the twentieth-century musical landscape. Though Schoenberg’s fame and infamy are mainly concerned with his groundbreaking compositional innovation the twelve-tone method, Schoenberg also developed other concepts which would become important aspects of modern music, one of these being the idea of Klangfarbenmelodie. Klangfarbenmelodie or tone-color-melody is often associated not only with Schoenberg himself, but also with one of his pupils, Anton Webern. The term itself has developed two different yet interrelated meanings, one being associated with Schoenberg, the other with Webern. The similarities and differences between these two definitions will be the subject of this study, which will also include an assessment of the musical environment which allowed for the concept to be created. The continued use of the concept of Klangfarbenmelodie in modern music will also be discussed, culminating in an examination of a contemporary compositional approach to timbre which incorporates aspects of both Schoenberg’s and Webern’s use of Klangfarbenmelodie.
