Abstract

The article examines the transformation of vocal art in the musical avant-garde of the 20 th century, focusing on extended vocal techniques. Key compositional methods, including Sprechgesang, multiphonics, overtone singing, and
extreme techniques, are analyzed in the context of their influence on musical expressiveness. Attention is given to works by A. Schoenberg, K. Stockhausen, and H. W. Henze, who redefined vocal timbre and expression. The role of
electronics and technological innovations in compositions by P. Schaeffer, P. Henry, and G. Scelsi is emphasized.
These innovations redefined the voice as a medium for creating sonic textures, reshaping its interaction with soundscapes and expanding the horizons of contemporary musical practices.
