Title: Tone Rows: How Serial Music Affected a Contemporary Composer
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Aaron Carter, Music

Arnold Schoenberg's experimentation with atonality and invention of serialism in music during the early 20th century allowed music to be experienced in a revolutionary new way. Composers in the years following Schoenberg's findings have interpreted and reinterpreted atonality and serialism. The musical work "It's Funny What We'll Do" for piano and voice shows one such interpretation of Schoenberg's discoveries.
