In recent years the music of minimalist composers such as La Monte
Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass has, increasingly,
become the subject of important musicological reflection, research
and debate. Scholars have also been turning their attention to the
work of lesser-known contemporaries such as Phill Niblock and
Eliane Radigue, or to second and third generation minimalists such
as John Adams, Louis Andriessen, Michael Nyman and William
Duckworth, whose range of styles may undermine any sense of shared
aesthetic approach but whose output is still to a large extent
informed by the innovative work of their minimalist predecessors.
Attempts have also been made by a number of academics to
contextualise the work of composers who have moved in parallel with
these developments while remaining resolutely outside its immediate
environment, including such diverse figures as Karel Goeyvaerts,
Robert Ashley, Arvo PArt and Brian Eno. Theory has reflected
practice in many respects, with the multimedia works of Reich and
Glass encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, associations and
interconnections. Minimalism's role in culture and society has also
become the subject of recent interest and debate, complementing
existing scholarship, which addressed the subject from the
perspective of historiography, analysis, aesthetics and philosophy.
The Ashgate Research Companion to Minimalist and Postminimalist
Music provides an authoritative overview of established research in
this area, while also offering new and innovative approaches to the
subject.
