Published here October 2010. Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho has become one of the most celebrated American films in its genre and Bernard Herrmann’s music for the film contains an equally celebrated musical icon—the slasher music—that has become a universal motif for all slasher films.

This style of writing was developed by Arnold Schoenberg, though others like Charles Ives and even Strauss were experimenting with it around the same time. Lady in a Cage (1964) pt.1/9.

FSM Board: Serialism in Film Scores. I am researching film music that partly uses Schoenberg-style "serialism" as part of its composition. I'm not entirely sure, but some of Jerry Goldsmith's work sounds like it might use his ideas and other experimental techniques. Thanks. don't want to spoil, but Schoenberg did not compose "serial" music in the accurate sense of the word, but dodecaphonic (another term for twelve-tone-technique) which means the tone pitches are arranged in a tone row determining the order of the pitches as they appear in the composition.

"Serialism" is expanding that principle on the other parameters, rhythmic values, dynamic degrees etc. I know that those terms are confused with each other quite often and obviously Schoenbergs dodecaphonic music ignited the later serialism, but in the exact sense of the words they are not the interchangeable - though even film composers confuse both terms. I think you're confusing things here. I honestly can't think of a single total serial score. Serialism and Just Intonation.

Karlheinz Stockhausen By David Paul - Orginally published in SECONDS #44. His father killed in combat, his institutionalized mother put to death by the authorities, he was a stretcher-bearer at sixteen treating casualties in a military hospital right behind the front lines. As the war wound down, the huge red cross painted on the roof of the hospital proved too tempting for Allied air raiders to resist. With no time to bury the dead, his job became piling fresh corpses on top of old ones.
