Enjoying The Diversity Of Today’s Music

Andrew Druckenbrod sums up a recent online blog on ArtsJournal about the stylistic future of music: “The critics essentially responded the same way: that there really isn’t a dominating musical language — such as tonality, serialism or polyphony — anymore. We are even beyond a postmodern reaction to modernism. Today, anything goes. That’s a good thing, since it allows composers to be unfettered in their creativity and critics to pick based on quality, not camps.”
