20th Century: 1900-2000
There have been substantially more types and styles of music written in the 20th Century than in any other time in history. The only real limit is the composer's imagination and daring! Instrumentation can vary tremendously too: Peter Shcikele has players play on mouthpieces or gargle water during a piece. Another composition may feature a screaming electric guitar accompanied by a toaster! Electronic music is being used to create totally new sounds. From Bela Bartok, Alan Hovhaness to Philip Glass, the 20th century composer has paved the way for Post Modern, where the sky is the limit!
