Nomos Alpha
''Nomos Alpha'' ((ギリシア語:Νόμος α)) is a piece for solo cello composed by Iannis Xenakis in 1965, commissioned by Radio Bremen for cellist Siegfried Palm, and dedicated to mathematicians Aristoxenus of Tarentum, Évariste Galois, and Felix Klein.〔DeLio, Thomas. "The Dialectics of Structure and Materials: Iannis Xenakis' ''Nomos Alpha''". Cited in DeLio (1985). p.xii〕 This piece is an example of a style of music called, by Xenakis, symbolic music – a style of music which makes use of set theory, abstract algebra, and mathematical logic in order to create and analyze musical compositions. Along with symbolic music, Xenakis is known for his development of stochastic music.
During his lifetime, Xenakis was a vocal critic of modern western music, since the development of polyphony for its diminished set of outside-time structures, especially when compared to folk and the Byzantine musical traditions. This perceived incompleteness of western music was the main impetus for the development of symbolic music and for composing Nomos Alpha, his most well known example.
Nomos Alpha consists of 24 sections divided into two layers. The first layer consists of every section not divisible by four, while the second layer consists of every fourth section.〔DeLio, Thomas. Iannis Xenakis' "Nomos Alpha": The Dialectics of Structure and Materials. Journal of Music Theory, Vol. 24, No. 1 (Spring, 1980), pp. 63–95; Published by: Duke University Press on behalf of the Yale University Department of Music. pp. 63〕
==Layer 1==
Layer 1 of Nomos Alpha is determined by the 24-element octahedral group isomorphic to the rotations of a cube. The elements of the set are permutations and the binary operator is composition.
