After the so-called “12-tone” school obliterated traditional ideas of harmony during the 20th century — making for a difficult, atonal age in classical music — a younger generation of composers brought conventional harmonic notions back into the fold. It’s quite something to consider how some of those composers are now in their golden years. Host Steve Seel features music by Philip Glass and Julie Mandel, as well as comparative youngsters like Judd Greenstein and Michael Kurth, on this episode of Extra Eclectic. Listen now!
