In Reply to: Post-Minimalist (and Post-Expressionist) American Classical Composers YOU like? posted by Frihed89 on August 2, 2012 at 04:13:08:
.... anything we like from the beginning of serialism through today? Because really that's all "post-expressionism" means -- after expressionism. That begins with serialism.
But the notion of post-expressionism really means absolutely nothing stylistically. There are composers today writing very good totally melodic music and others writing abrasive incoherent music and others writing minimalist noodling music. All of it is "post-expressionism".
If all you want is a list of composers whose music we like written in the past 50 years, why not just say that?
