Antecedents

There’s a subsection of contemporary music called ‘Musical
 Historicism;’ a genre of music that uses historical
elements and revives  them in modern works.


From Minimalism to Totalism, Modernism to Post-Modernism to
 Neomodernism; we’re taking a look at pieces that influence
contemporary  compositions, either to mimic the past or to
be the antithesis.
