Postmodernism in Music
Dr Kenneth Gloag’s latest book, Postmodernism in Music, is now available from Cambridge University Press.
Postmodernism is a term that has been used extensively to describe general trends and specific works in many different cultural contexts, including literature, cinema, architecture and the visual arts. This book clarifies the term and explores its relevance for music through discussions of numerous examples of postmodern music from the 1950s to the present, including the music of George Rochberg, John Zorn and Sofia Gubaidulina, among many others.
