	Modern music
		If modern music may be said to have a definite beginning, then it started [!] with this flute melody, the opening of the Prélude à "L'après-midi d'un faune" (1894) by Claude Debussy (1862-1918).
		For the purposes of this site, modern music is popular music and art music since the age of the phonograph.
		Terms such as "modern" and "Modernism" seem to possess a certain security, even prestige, but they were long regarded with suspicion.

	Modernism (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modernism in music is characterized by a desire for or belief in progress and science, surrealism, anti-romanticism, political advocacy, general intellectualism, and/or a breaking with tradition or common practice.
		Modern music is often thought to begin with, or just after, Debussy's impressionism, rising to rhetorical, if not commercial, dominance after World War Two, and then being gradually superseded by postmodern music.
		The rise of musical modernism can be tied to the rise of expressionism, primitivism and cubism in the arts, Freudian theory in philosophy and the range of other artistic and scientific ideas which flowered forth from 1890 through the beginning of the First World War.

		To claim that the young modern composer has a right to be heard because he is contemporary is another matter, and it is irrelevant to attempt the simile because Mozart and Beethoven were once contemporary composers.
		The music which the promoters of this festival wish to impress upon the public has as little to do with the music of the masters as futuristic pictures have with painting.
		But there is less affinity between the advanced present-day music to be heard at contemporary music festivals, and the long line of music such as never ceased to develop, to be different, yet be modern.

		Musical instruments and objects have accumulated external memory in their physical bodies, and it remains present in their current shapes and usages’.
		Condanction, emphasising music of body rather than music of memory, is essentially a collective feedback mechanism in which movements stimulate the musician’s physical impulse and the sound, and the sound then initiates a new movement.
		The music was conceived to sound as live and real as possible, featuring a large string orchestra and the soaring soprano voice of Rebecca Luker, and the way these are combined with relentless rhythms produces a unique and thrilling experience.

	Postmodern music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The music of modernity, however, was viewed primarily as a means of expression while the music of postmodernity is valued more as a spectacle, a good for mass consumption, and an indicator of group identity.
		In the modern period, recording of music was seen as a way of transcribing an external event, as a photograph is supposed to record a moment in time.
		As a musical condition, postmodern music is music situated after the modern age, during the present period, where music has become valued primarily as a commodity and a culture, rather than a form of idealized modernist expression for its own sake.

	Modern Music
		Music without melody or harmony reminds me of Sidney Lanier's wistful experiments with poetry without meaning, in which words are used to construct successions of beautiful but meaningless sounds rather than to communicate ideas and feelings.
		"Music in which the harmonic element is paramount, in which the richness and sonority of individual chords and the skilful construction of unusual progressions constitute the principal interest to the listener, is capable of great beauty, as is music in which rhythm or orchestration is thee paramount element.
		As Russo said, music in which melody is not the dominant "principal" is "difficult for the listener to retain".

	'Modern Music'
		Coming back to the "good" and "bad" atonal music thread, these are rather simplistic words to describe a complex thing ("good and bad", that is), but (here's where my opinion comes in) I will put forth hesitantly that the majority of modern music for band is pretty crappy.
		I realize that not all modern music is atonal or has a very limited or unconventional tonal system.
		I challenge you to go and listen to the UW Gamelan ensemble and consider those aspects about music and culture that you are currently taking for granted...like the alleged universalism of the major triad...and consider that this assumption seems to be hindering you from opening your ears to contemporary music.

	Xenakis
		Xenakis' music has become increasingly well-known among people involved in hearing or creating contemporary classical music, and so his relatively unusual circumstances no longer present a barrier to his public reception.
		One thing Xenakis' music rarely lacks is forward momentum, moving as it does from one "place" to another in sometimes bewildering fashion.
		Much of his music is for varying mixed chamber ensembles, and requires different instrumentation (or voices) for each piece.
