"Old" and "New" music
- Abstract:
- Greek texts preserve reflections by ancient musicians and authors on striking developments in musical styles that took place in Athens in the course of the fifth century BC. To many observers, the sounds and practices associated with the New Music signaled a dramatic change in the very nature of musical expression. The New Musicians enjoyed great popular success, but the explicit and implicit ideology of their music attracted the censure of traditionalists. However, New Music drew on earlier styles and techniques as well as diverging from them. This chapter considers some of the specific forms in which the much-vaunted newness of the New Music presents itself, and seeks to contextualize the innovation in relation to the music that preceded it.
