Music, Religion, and the Modern Era: Leonard Bernstein
For many listeners, classical music of the 20th century is polarizing. Beginning with composers such as Igor Stravinsky and Arnold Schoenberg, dissonance and instability began to supplant traditional approaches to melody and harmony. This new and somewhat radical style was applied to seemingly every style of music, from ballet to chamber music to concerti, as well as religious music.
