Atonality in its broadest sense is music that lacks a tonal center, or key. Atonality, in this sense, usually describes compositions written from about 1908 to the present day where a hierarchy of pitches focusing on a single, central tone is not used, and the notes of the chromatic scale function independently of one another.

Atonal apocalyptic chore music (exploring war themes?)

I’m looking for this atonal type music with a female voice (or multiple voices), but can’t remember the name of the composer or of the album. It sound really close to Ligeti’s “Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo Soprano” featured in Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey. A couple of things that might help identifying the composition is that it somewhat was exploring the theme of war and had something about angels in the name.

What are the most important atonal works?

I'm not formally educated in music. As i'm aware at the start of the 20th century a few composers started experimenting with atonality. I think Schoenberg was the main person associated with atonality, and he had students like Alban Berg and Anton Webern.

Which pieces of atonal music do you recommend? I like atonality but I can't tell one composers work from another. Do these atonal composers have noticeably different styles? Could someone tell the what are considered the most important atonal works?
