    What are the greatest works of the last 50 years? This can be subjective, based on critical acclaim, or based on some other criteria. (I ask that this not be the place for people to vent their distaste of new music. It’s okay to not participate.)
  5. Classical Music Discussion
    So we all have an understanding of the sequence of events, throughout the 20th century concert halls started programming less and less new music until we reached the state we're in now. Regardless of why this happened composers couldn't rely on their music being performed anymore, there was a...

    I dabble in opera but try to listen periodically to newer operas. Also, in our 1980-2000 Listening Group we’re talking about selecting an opera to explore. I know and love Nixon in China. I’m wondering which operas you opera buffs feel are worthwhile since 1975? What are your thoughts on the...

In scholarly research and journals, electroacoustic music is generally considered to be an off-shoot of art music starting with Schaeffer and then extending into different directions. However, even when studying music at universities...
