Music since World War II
Music Sets #441 - 449
(Please refer to the book for more composers in this period;
modern composers are not targets within my project scope.)
Modern Music:-
There are no more "schools" of composition: each composer now strives to find an original and entirely individual voice.
* Minimalism
Music relies on repetitive rhythmic and melodic ostinati for its hypnotic effect.
* Electronic music
The use of electronic instruments, amplification and sampling has become widespread.
* Female composers
Female composers began to challenge the traditional male hegemony in composition,
... particularly in TV and film music.
