Serial

Serial is a contemporary musical style that originated in the early 2000s and is characterized by its emphasis on developing motifs and themes through repetition and variation. The term 'serialism' was first coined by the Austrian composer Arnold Schoenberg in the early 1900s, but the style itself has evolved considerably over the past century. Serial music is known for its intricate, often complex compositions and its use of strict ordering systems. It has been described as a “rational, scientific” approach to composition, often employing elements of mathematics and logic. In recent years, Serialism has been embraced by various genres, including classical, jazz, rock, and electronic music.
