| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北藝術大學 === 音樂學研究所 === 93 === The aim of this research was to study a type of vocal style named “Sprechstimme” in German, i.e., Speech-song, which was devised by A. Schoenberg and normally intermediated between speech and song. In spite of its problematic ambiguity and all the dissimilitudes of realization, Sprechstimme was first introduced by Humperdinck in Königskinder (1897) and later became a newly-related type of vocal enunciation in Schoenberg’s atonal work Pierrot Lunaire (1912). This research was based on the studies of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire, and approached through secondary research on Sprechstimme, melodrama, Expressionism, and the sort of theatrical (dramatic) declamation in vocal music. The main conclusions drawn here would be that Schoenberg expressed himself by a whole new means – Sprechstimme so as to be free from any aesthetic justifications, and it led to a solution that the sound of human languages would be possible to combine with music in a most-original way.
