The Sounds of Music in the Twenty-First Century.......

8/31/2018

 
Many of my students have joined me in a survey of some of the more modernist musical styles of composition since 1900, so it is understandable that I was interested to read a recent article in The New Yorker written by Alex Ross, "The Sounds of Music in the Twenty-First Century".  Mr. Ross discusses a book written by British critic Tim Rutherford-Johnson which more specifically addresses music written after 1989.......I just ordered the book and will share thoughts with my students after I have a chance to read......in the meantime, I encourage you to read Alex Ross's article which I have linked;  let's discuss at your next lesson!  Along with this article, you may also enjoy reading, listening to, and thinking about another article, albeit related.  Are you aware that Kendrik Lamar won a Pulitzer Prize for music this year.....I refer you to an article I am linking from the New York Times on what this win means for hip-hop.   For musicians, I believe it is always so important to keep our minds and ears open to new possibilities!  Let me know what you think about these articles!
