Over the past half-century, concert music has felt the influence of jazz and the Modernist innovations of serialism, “chance music,” microtonality, abstractly expressionistic electronic music, and minimalism. At the same time, there has been a revival of interest in earlier forms of music—particularly Romantic and Classical. This program studies the contributions of Edgard Varèse, Henry Cowell, John Cage, Harry Partch, George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber, Dmitry Shostakovich, George Rochberg, György Ligeti, John Corigliano, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, John Adams, Astor Piazzolla, Henryk Górecki, and Arvo Pärt. A Discovery Channel Production.
