The Twentieth Century Music and Musicians in Society
SummaryThe advent of mass media had a revolutionary impact on the development of modern
music. Primarily, it allowed music to be supported by a much larger audience
than ever before, producing an influential consumer economy for the art form
of dimensions unimaginable to composers of past eras. It helped popularize classical
music, provided a level of egalitarian autonomy for modern composers, and brought
forth whole new genres of popular music which kept the pulse of daily culture
for all generations to follow. For more information on how the dramatic developments
in technology and culture influenced music, consult the resources below. |
