Music in Germany since 1968 modifies the dominant historiography of
music in post-war Germany by shifting its axis from the years of
reconstruction after 1945 to the era following the events of 1968.
Arguing that the social transformations of 1968 led to a new phase
of music in Germany, Alastair Williams examines the key topics,
including responses to serialism, music and politics, and the
re-evaluation of tradition. The book devotes central chapters to
Helmut Lachenmann and Wolfgang Rihm, as focal points for areas such
as postmodernism, musical semiotics and action-based gestures.
Further chapters widen the scope by considering the precursors and
contemporaries of Rihm and Lachenmann, especially in relation to
the idea of historical inclusion. Williams's study also assesses
the development of the Darmstadt summer courses, addresses the
significance of German reunification, and considers the role of
Germany in a new stage of musical modernism.
