His non-film music falls on the lighter side of the Avant-Garde, abandoning the bold, abstract statements of Stockhausen in favor the more accessible ethnic sound of "The Michael Nyman Band." But just as important as his musical work is his scholarly work. His 1974 book Experimental Music: Cage and Beyond has become an essential text for both casual connoisseurs of the genre to well-versed academics. And, lest we forget, Nyman coined the universally accepted musical term which many use to classify some of his own work: minimalism. - Doug Russell]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3357&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Twenty-First Century Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:00:21 -0700 Top Twenty-First Century Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3357 art.3357 Arvo Part art.3357 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3357&variant=play&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3357&variant=data&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17147&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Twenty-First Century Sat, 12 Dec 2009 11:16:33 -0800 Top Twenty-First Century Artists on Rhapsody Online art.17147 art.17147 John Rutter art.17147 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17147&variant=play&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.17147&variant=data&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16782&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Twenty-First Century Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:59:31 -0700 Top Twenty-First Century Artists on Rhapsody Online art.16782 art.16782 Wojciech Kilar art.16782 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16782&variant=play&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16782&variant=data&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss The Voice From Beyond, Balance, Bram Stroker's Dracula and The Ninth Gate. Immensely talented, his scores use drama without ever becoming gaudy or insincere. Poland's rich folk tradition can be found throughout his works, offering evidence of Kilar's heartfelt connection to his homeland. Most of his recent work has a decidedly religious feel (used to powerful effect in The Ninth Gate), yet maintains a strong connection to Avant-Garde techniques.

Chen Shi-Zheng to stage the ancient tale of Monkey, a character who gets himself into trouble with the Buddha and has to go to India and retrieve some ancient texts to redeem himself. Working with designer Jamie Hewlett (who did the illustrations for the Gorillaz), Chen and Albarn have staged an opera that calls on C-Pop and rock, classical music and Chinese opera equally. It also upends opera's stodgy staging -- the show boasts a cast of 60, most of whom are circus performers, contortionists and kung fu masters. Beautifully designed, it's elicited both rave reviews and a certain discomfort from opera purists. - Sarah Bardeen]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.828&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Twenty-First Century Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:23:52 -0700 Top Twenty-First Century Artists on Rhapsody Online art.828 art.828 Tolga Kashif art.828 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.828&variant=play&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.828&variant=data&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20719&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Third Stream Sat, 22 Aug 2009 09:36:00 -0700 Top Twenty-First Century Artists on Rhapsody Online art.20719 art.20719 Michel Colombier art.20719 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20719&variant=play&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.20719&variant=data&rws=%2Fclassical%2F20th-21st-century%2Ftwenty-first-century%2Fartist-chart.rss Purple Rain) and avant-garde work with the Kronos Quartet.

In 1953, the composer began working in West German Radio's Studio for Electronic Music, a tenure that lasted until 1998. Pieces from this period, the haunting Kontakte and his groundbreaking spatial composition, Gesang Der Junglinge, had immeasurable influence on the Avant-Garde, and are perhaps his most enduring concepts. By the late 1960s, Stockhausen's vision had exploded into the cosmos. His work became increasingly expansive as he struggled to find sonic material worthy of his extraordinary ambitions. Elaborate staging and choreography became an integral part of works such as Inori and Sirius, but these were a prelude to what became his masterpiece: the seven-part opera cycle entitled Licht. Composed between 1977 and 2004, it is enormous in its narrative scope, spanning history from the birth of the universe to the final stages of man's evolution; indeed, it is 29 hours long. Shortly after its completion, a new song cycle, Klang, based on the 24 hours of the day, began to take shape. He would only compose a fraction of the "days," however, before his death in December of 2007. In a letter written in early 2006 Stockhausen speculated on the direction of his new work. "It seems that each hour contains the spiral of the 24 hours of the day, and that the contents of the hours concern all of us. (It is recommended to ensure your entry to a heaven's door already now)." - Nate Baker]]>

He studied with Szabelski at the Katowice Conservatory (1955-60) and with Messiaen in Paris. His music has connections with Penderecki, but its deepest affinities are with ancient Polish religious music, and it often shows a saintly simplicity. Most of his works are for orchestra or chamber ensemble; they include the chamber trilogy Genesis (1963) and three symphonies, the third of which achieved striking public success in the early 1990s. ]]>
