	Composer
		The level of distinction between composers and other musicians also varies, which affects issues such as copyright and the deference given to individual interpretations of a particular piece of music.
		The term "composer" is often used specifically to mean a composer in the Western tradition of classical music.
		In popular and folk music, the composer is typically called a songwriter (since the music generally takes the form of a song), and composers of jazz are often referred to as jazz writers.

	MusicalSelections.com > Composers > Dmitri Shostakovich > Biography
		The composer's response to his denunciation was the Fifth Symphony of 1937, which is musically conservative and not overtly political, either for or against the regime.
		Shostakovich's music shows the influence of many of the composers he most admired: Bach in his fugues and passacaglias; Beethoven in the late quartets; Mahler in the symphonies and Berg in his use of musical codes and quotations.
		Among Russian composers, he particularly admired Modest Mussorgsky, whose opera Boris Godunov he orchestrated in the early 1940s; Mussorgsky's influence is most prominent in the wintry scenes of Lady Macbeth and the 12th symphony, as well as in his satirical works such as Rayok.

	Central Europe Review - Music: Krzyzstof Penderecki
		If Thomas had limited his musical examples to works composed before 1974, one suspects some of the audience might have suffered quite a shock during the rehearsal, for Penderecki's later style is very different from that of his avant-garde works.
		Some composers, Penderecki stated, had "forgotten about music" and were composing "notes only," while he wanted to compose "music with a human face" and distance himself from his peers and imitators.
		Messiaen, was the composer's thoughtful answer, primarily for his mysticism and use of orchestral colour.

	USIA, U.S. Society & Values, June 1998 - Joshua Kosman, "New Music for a New Century"
		In the way composers operated and the kinds of music they wrote, in the sorts of performing institutions that brought that music and music of the past to the listening public, old models and ways of thinking that had begun to prove decisively unworkable were being chipped away.
		Some prominent composers continue to write in the densely impenetrable language forged during the modernist period and clung to in the face of decades' worth of audience hostility or indifference.
		For many composers now in their 30s and 40s, for instance, the impressions of rock music have remained formative, showing up in the use of electric guitars (as in the work of Steve Mackey or Nick Didkovsky) and in a raw rhythmic power that has been practically unheard of in classical music.

	LIGETI! - Page 3
		My opinion is that Ligeti is one of those who struggled in a period of crisis for the composer’s right to write in whatever style he wanted, even classical or romantic, and thus gave the “right” to lots of people today to throw up at his modernist “shit”.
		This "crisis" that I was referring to happened in the 1970's leading to the collapse of the notion of the musical material's historical development.
		That's why it's "OK" today for you and me or anyone as a composer to write in whatever style he wants, from medieval to modern, or even mix all of these styles in the same piece.

	Little Women, Mark Adamo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The composer is an adept librettist, with an ear for the clever phrase -- Adamo's powers of compression work extremely well -- and the composer creates a whole world of musical details that amplify the action onstage....
		Adamo has composed a truly American piece, and it is, both musically and theatrically, an impressive (and maybe even important) contribution.
		Adamo is a spirited, fast-witted composer: like Britten, he can turn on a stylistic dime, running the gamut from open-throated Broadway song to serpentine twelve-tonish writing, mak[ing] fascinating music from the simplest possible material....I suspect that in five or ten years' time Mark Adamo will be greeted with ovations on the stage of the Met.

	Anton Webern
		With their self-defined position as the musical heirs to Beethoven, Brahms, and Mahler, the composers of the Second Viennese School were firmly grounded in the music of the past.
		Of the three composers' works, Webern's is the most difficult to approach.
		This Austrian site is part of a larger one dealing with the composers of the Second Viennese School.

	Copland - Sessions Concerts by Carol Oja
		"It is in the interests of the younger generation of American composers," declared a manifesto in their opening program, "that the present series of concerts has been inaugurated." From the very start their arms were open wide to a diverse spectrum of new compositions.
		While these early organizations paid some attention to the generation of American composers born around 1900, they focused most intensely on either importing European modernism or showcasing Americans who were then in their late thirties and forties (figures such as Louis Gruenberg, Frederick Jacobi, Carl Ruggles, and Emerson Whithorne).
		A partial list of such figures included Vladimir Dukelsky (Vernon Duke), Nino Rota (then studying at the Curtis Institute), Pál Kadosa and Istvan Szelenyi (both Hungarian pupils of Kodály who had captured the interest of Henry Cowell), Nicolai Lopatnikoff (a Russian then living in Berlin), and Imre Weisshaus (a Hungarian pupil of Bartók).

		We begin with the modernist movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, focusing on the various innovations enacted upon the common-practice tonal tradition in the works of Strauss, Mahler, Schoenberg, Debussy, Stravinsky, and a host of "nationalist" composers.

	Consulate General of Brazil - An Introduction to Modern Poetry in Brazil
		The high quality of these poets is matched only by their sheer bad luck in having been confined to a readership, not only in their own tongue, but also in their own country, since they are exceedingly little known even in Portugal, a country whose poetic sensibility has taken paths substantially different from our own.
		Needless to say, during the three modernist "moments" we have mentioned, and even afterwards, much poetry was written which bore no resemblance to what we have just described.
		Indeed, one of the characteristics of Brazilian poetry of this century is the extent to which the success of individual talents has depended on their adhesion -- dazzled or critical, playful or unwilling -- to a minimal list of Modernist proposals.

		Some composers started seriously to breath when he had to retire from many of his official positions; unfortunately, it was already too late for many of them.
		Your criticism of Boulez's composing is plainly clouded by your emotional problems with him as a man. He has written several major works since the 1940s-50s, and that's that.
		A lot of composers were there during it's epoch, and not only did their work differ in personal ideas and style, but, as with most artist, their work changed throughout their careers.
