"Modern" Music

This term is used to describe recently composed orchestral or classical music. It has a very small following. For good reasons. It is painful to listen to and demonstrates the fatuity of its composition. All other forms of music have elements that a normal listener can relate to. Not this. It is cacophanous and in places boringly repetitive. The composers are lauded by a small coterie of enthusiasists but as ever in such situations we are left wondering if they wrote this because they could not write anything better. They can fend for themselves but we should spare a thought or the musicians forced into playing this junk. If we all stay away perhaps it will die the death. We can but hope.
