New Consonant Music

NCM can be defined as a reaction to the modernist period. New Consonant Music can
be presented as a post-modern trend.

Modern composers - let's say between 1940 and 1980 - were willing to innovate at first. Of course this is a generalization and many exceptions exist (Messiaen, Ives...). The contact was broken between composers, performers and audience. Dodecaphonism, serialism, random music and other happenings revolutionized the music.

But, as for each language, evolution is better than revolution. Cage gave a great wind of freedom to music. But freedom is not always synonym of beauty. Stockhausen built intelligent concepts. But intelligence is not always synonym of beauty.

New Consonant Music tries to revive the broken link between composers, performers and audience, by the respect and the soft evolution of the common music language. And, of course, it integrates some ideas of modern composers.
