Mind Models supplies a roadmap for navigating the complex network of aesthetic concerns faced by contemporary composers and their audiences. When it was first published in 1975, Mind Models captured perfectly the essential pluralism of the contemporary music world, with its tremendous diversity of musical styles and compositional methods Reynolds has now revisited this text and renewed it based on developments over the past 25 years, changes that have-if anything-underscored that the issues he first addressed in this book remain of vital concern to virtually every serious composer. This new edition of Mind Models reintroduces and renews a classic work on 20th century composition, one that has remained relevant for over a quarter century-and should remain a central reading for decades to come.

Stemming from his appointment as the Randolph Rothschild Guest Composer at Peabody from 1992-1993, Roger Reynolds has written a series of essays that will take the reader into the mind of a practicing composer. This book will produce meaningful discourse on how composer actually work, instead of being hidden from the public eye. Understanding the condition of music in contemporary society requires insight into how composers conduct their work, and this book will facilitate musical understanding and will be of great interest to composers, theorists, cognitive and perceptual scientists as well as the music lover. Also includes 136 musical examples.
