  Serialism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Serialism is most specifically defined as the structural principle according to which a recurring series of ordered elements (normally a set – or 'row' – of pitches or 'pitch classes') which are used in order, or manipulated in particular ways, to give a piece unity.
Serialism is often broadly applied to all music written in what Arnold Schoenberg called "The Method of Composing with Twelve Tones related only to one another", or dodecaphony, and methods which evolved from his methods.
Other practitioners of serial music argued that individual elements should not be under serial control, but instead under some form of stochastic patterning, or that the large scale of the composition should be under serial control, but individual events at the selection of the composer, or the performer.

 Serial music
The serialization of rhythm, dynamics etc developed after the Second World War by arguing that the twelve-tone music of Arnold Schoenberg and his followers of the Second Viennese School had serialized pitch, and was partly fostered by the work of Olivier Messiaen and his analysis students, including Karel Goeyvaerts and Boulez, in post-war Paris.
The other was the use of serial forms of analysis and structuring of compositions even by composers who were not using a row or a series as the means of structuring a work.
Other practioners of serial music argued that individual elements should not be under serial control, but instead under some form of stochastic patterning, or that the large scale of the composition should be under serial control, but individual events at the selection of the composer, or the performer.

Integral serialism was influential in the development of electronic music and synthesized music.
Serialism is most specifically defined as the structural principle according to which a recurring series of ordered elements (normally a set - or ´row´ - of pitches or ´pitch classes´) which are used in order, or manipulated in particular ways, to give a piece unity.
An aggregate is divided into complements: a subset of the series, and all of those elements of the series not part of that subset are said to be ´´complements´´ of each other.

series used for semantic unity, as a common denominator while employing a pre-existent rhetoric.
The main difference between row and series: the row is a "melody", the "series" is a series of proportions, another level of abstraction.
, a series of 12 durations (borrowed from the same source), a series of 12 attacks, and a series of 12 dynamics.

 Stockhausen's New Morphology of Musical Time, Serialism: C. Koenigsberg December 1991
And this series of proportions, to be applied successively to different musical parameters (like pitch intervals, note durations, timbres, degrees of loudness, etc.) is what he tries to replace the thematic concept with, in his serial system.
Taken to its extreme in a brief period of experimentation in the early 1950's, application of the serial system to all parameters, in a total avoidance of thematic composition, came to be known as total, or integral, serialism.
The determination of exactly which elements to serialize, and in what manner, becomes an essential part of the compositional process, and the eventual filling in of the actual notes on the page is almost an anticlimax (at least, in the opinions of the critics of total serial music, whom we will hear from shortly).

Many of his students took this a step further and developed integral serialism from this - that is, the systematic serial organization of not only pitch, but also rhythm (and for many dynamics and articulations as well).
While integral serialists wanted to control as much about the music as possible, composers of chance music such as John Cage wanted to free up the musical possibilities.
He states that the end product of an integral serial piece (a piece in which all pitches, rhythms, articulations, etc. are used equally) and a chance composition (where pitches, rhythms, etc. are determined by chance) will be the same.

Looked at half a century later, Milton Babbitt's development of integral serialism in America seems like a way of extending traditional understandings of musical structure.
Whereas in its independent development in Europe by Boulez and Stockhausen, serialism was an attempt at destroying traditions by reevaluating every fundamental musical principle and focusing on the basic elements of compositional technique.
Serial composers perhaps believed that it might be possible to purposely develop a rigid serial construction, although not recognized by the listener, which would unconsciously assist in the overall

The first serial piece was Nummer 2 (1951) for 13 instruments (http://www.matrix.mu/compE/Goeyvaer/Goeybody.html) by Karel Goeyvaerts, a student of influential French composer and teacher Olivier Messiaen.
They conceived of taking the structure of 12 tone technique, and expanding on Webern's compositional style, place all elements of music under the control of a unique "series".
According to Boulez, "Classical tonal thought is based on a world defined by gravitation and attraction, serial thought on a world which is perpetually expanding." Serialism was enormously influential in post-War music.

Firstly, because a composer creates music that is part of his innermost being, such as he is: incomplete, changing, allert or absent-minded, sometimes avant-garde, then traditional again, wishing to please or uncommucative narcisistic or far too modest...
Secondly, because the image of music is ever-changing, is unique at a certain point in time, quotidian in the willful organization of sound, imperceptible within the immensity of sound that surrounds us in space and time, and a the same time unrepeatable or so close to silence.

 MICROCOSMS: Total Serialism
Classical Serialism orders the intervals (pitch events) only, but Schoenberg allowed the rows to influence phrasing, and his student Anton Webern also attached register as a function of the row.
Total Serialism, also known as Integral Serialism, allows other events to be serialized, such as rhythm, articulations, dynamics, register, or even the row forms themselves.
Although Total Serialism never really became popular, its extreme precision led logically into electronic music and music written by computers, and gave composers new ideas about relationships of pitch, rhythm, timbre, and dynamics.

 Brian Ferneyhough - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferneyhough became closely associated with the so-called New Complexity school of composition, characterised by its extension of the modernist tendency towards formalisation (particularly as in integral serialism).
Ferneyhough's actual compositional approach, however, rejects serialism and other "generative" methods of composing; he prefers instead to use systems only to create material and formal constraints, while their realisation appears to be more spontaneous.
Unlike many more formally-inclined composers, Ferneyhough often speaks of his music as being about creating energy and excitement rather than embodying an abstract schema.
