Review
"No other composer would have ventured as all-encompassing a survey of culture and society... Mind Models is a kind of classic
."
-Charles Curtis, Professor of Music at the University of California, San Diego
Book Description
Mind Models supplies a roadmap for navigating the complex network of aesthetic concerns faced by contemporary composers and their audiences. When it was first published in 1975, Mind Models captured perfectly the essential pluralism of the contemporary music world, with its tremendous diversity of musical styles and compositional methods Reynolds has now revisited this text and renewed it based on developments over the past 25 years, changes that have-if anything-underscored that the issues he first addressed in this book remain of vital concern to virtually every serious composer.
This new edition of Mind Models reintroduces and renews a classic work on 20th century composition, one that has remained relevant for over a quarter century-and should remain a central reading for decades to come.
