Welcome back to Between the Barlines! It's been awhile! I've been reconfiguring my schedule for this podcast as well as recovering from some burnout. In this podcast, I talk about a concept that I just learned and needed to share with everyone: to let vs to make. In this podcast, I also speak on topics like burnout, perfectionism, emotion regulation, and pressure.

Total Serialism
Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! I am your host, Dr. Maeve Berry! Today, we are going to continue talking about serialism, but we are going to address some other composers who latched on to Schoenberg’s new 12-tone technique. These composers did not only that, but also expanded this technique to crazy levels. We call this, total serialism. Some composers who embraced this were Milton Babbitt, Pierre Boulez, and Karlheinz Stockhausen. We will also talk about Luciano Berio in this episode.

Olivier Messiaen: the birdman
Welcome Back to Between the Barlines! Today, we are going to speak about another composer who was particularly influential in this post-tonal timeframe that we are going through - and that was Olivier Messiaen. I know I said in the last episode we would be chatting more about serialist composers and extensions of serialism, but I think it is important that we discuss Messiaen, as many of those composers studied with him.
