Hi,
Before the serialism of the mid-twentieth century, concert music and popular music were much closer together- think Dvorak's connect to folk songs. Now, they seem to be reconnecting.
You could make the argument that Steve Reich and the other minimalists of his generation helped to start this process. Now we have composers like Ólafur Arnalds and Nico Muhly who live in both worlds.
Do you agree that "classical" and pop are reuniting. What are your favorite pieces/composers who live in both worlds?
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
