Research Abstract

In this study, I considerd that composers, who were concerned in the twentieth-century's avant-garde technique of serialism and tone cluster, have different ways to those techniques from each others. The historical view of the process from the satulation of serialism, into which each parameter of pitch, duration, dynamics, and timbre is organized in a digital way, to tone cluster applies to only German and Austrian composers. The tone cluster of Ligeti, who declared the process from the satulation of serialism to tone cluster, is achieved not from serial manipulation but from the gradual accumulation of semitones. Through the technique of tone cluster Penderecki and Gorecki intend for the sonority itself, which is accumulated of semitones, rather than the process of piling semitones. Messiaen, who went no further than suggesting total serialism, manipulated parameters, which were subdivided chromatically, not as structural means but as the means of making elaborated sound gesture possible. Berio concerns with extensive change of sound for the distribution of subdivided parameters than the structure. Comprehensive manipulation of each parameter of Ferneyhough leads to control strictly performers intention of changing sound.
