NEW MUSIC


Ligeti, Messiaen, Penderecki and so on.

There doesn't seem to be much by way of Neue Musik in the archived threads. Shall we get one going on this contemporary niche?

Comments/sugg'ns re literature, interpretations or just stuff from bookmark files etc. are all welcome. A first post will follow shortly.

Bienvenue cher confrères!

To Flex' book rec'n --coming in at 1,376pp (!) in its 2003 edition-- I'll add, for general purposes here, any of C. Rosen's writings on music, especially the slim & succinct monograph of '75.

One of the questions that often arises with regard to "new music" is - Who do you mean? In any case here are a number of composers for the categories Atonality, Electronic Music, Integral Serialism, Just Intonation, Microtonal Intonation, Minimalism, The New York School and Twelve-Tone from Mozilla's Open Directory Project (ODP), dmoz.

A couple of links to general sites where some of their music can be heard will be posted later :=)
