Best Answer

it is partly sung and partly spoken, and is composed using the atonal style known as "twelve-tone" music. The twelve tones of an octave are arranged in an (seemingly random) order that is then built upon throughout the piece.

The result is an ackward structure that is musical anarchy.

as for the odd singing, it is the German style called "Sprechstimme" (speech-voice). It is a vocal technique that has the vocalist declare the text and not really sing it. Once the singer hits a pitch, they quit the tone immediately. This creates an exaggerated declamation that sounds like a lunatic
