Dear Students, I hope you can find the time to hear the following works:

El Niño by John Adams (2000)

La Pasión según San Marcos by Osvaldo Golijov (2000)

Consider the following post-modern traits:

–Unusual combinations of texts

–Unusual views of canonic texts (a feminist Nativity; a political revolutionary Jesus)

–Hybridization of the genre (oratorio/opera/music theater)

–Unified style or mixed styles? (minimalist/symphonic or classical/popular)

–post-tonal harmony

The beginnings of Post-Modernism

Is it just a third stage of modernism? (after the first modernism post WWI and the radical second modernism after WWII?). Is it a confrontation between contemporary music and the reality of a transcultural world?
