Composition and Culture since 1989

It’s a broad and diverse field so hard to generalize that we like it or don’t. I think that was one of the points here. You may be thinking of a particular composer or particular aesthetic. For instance, who doesn’t enjoy Arvo Part? I was at a concert where everyone was complaining about the programming being “different” and there was an instantaneous standing ovation after Spiegel im Spiegl, and Reich’s Different Trains with video was also performed. I could pick many other examples but Part is certainly an easy one to come up with.
