Providing an interesting approach to developments in modernist
music - from 1980 onwards - this study also presents an intriguing
perspective on the larger history of modernism. Far from being
supplanted by a postmodern period, argues David Metzer, modernist
idioms remain vital in the contemporary scene. The vitality comes
from the ways in which those idioms have extended impulses of
modernist styles from the early twentieth century. Since that time,
works have participated in lines of inquiry into various
compositional and aesthetic topics, particularly the explorations
of how to build pieces around such aesthetic ideals as purity and
silence and how to deliver and manipulate expressive utterances.
Metzer shows how these inquiries have played crucial roles in
defining directions taken since 1980, and how, through the
inquiries, we can gain a clearer idea of what makes the decades
after 1980 a distinct period in the history of modernism.
