Serial composition techniques are on the syllabus for Trinity Grade 8 Music Theory and can also be chosen as an option for the AmusTCL music theory diploma (20th century composition). ************************************ Serialism, or "12-tone" music,is an Avant Garde composition technique that was invented in the 1920s by a composer called Schoenberg. In a serial or “12-tone” composition, the composer begins by taking each one of the twelve different semitones (between two notes one octave apart) and then decides on an order to play those notes in. This is called a “tone row”. Each note can only occur once. The composer then constructs a rhythm to fit the notes to, always keeping the pre-decided order of pitches the same. Once all twelve notes have been used up, the row is reused to create more music. It could be used in the same order, or it could be played backwards. This is known as “retrograde”, or “R” for short.
