Abstract

Spectral music is a composition technique with the help of instrument to analyze the keynote and overtone of music sound. In this field, Gérard Grisey could be regarded as a very talented man. It was said that he was able to identify 11 overtones of one sound without any help of instrument, which made his attention and emphasis on the creation of the world of sound completely different while he was composing. In his realm of creation, melody, rhythm and other factor once were deemed as very important. Yet, all of these, in his opinion, were the intrinsic product of sounds. Gérard Grisey perceived the music as the pure sound movement, of which rhythm and melody are the driving force of music. In this paper, the author will take Gérard Grisey’s music works as an example to analyze his unique style from other composers regarding musical instrument synthesizing, ringlike adjustment, form patterns and so forth and to reveal Gérard Grisey’s exploration for music based on these works.
