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.

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?

Also PM me if you want to mod.
