Musik in Deutschland 1950-2000

Musik in Germany 1950-2000 outlines the history of contemporary music in Germany during the second half of the twentieth century on a total of 130 CDs. Based on a broadly conceived concept of music, it covers six main areas: concert music, electronic music, music theater, applied music, jazz, and popular music. Within these areas it is subdivided into chronological overviews of particular genres ("series") interspersed with special topics ("portraits"). The new publication covers music in the two German states up to the year 1990 and in reunified Germany to the end of the century. Besides German composers, it also includes composers of other nationalities who created the bulk of their work in Germany or had a special impact on contemporary German music. To do justice to the scope and range of the existing body of music, it was essential to make a rigorous selection and to present longer compositions in excerpt. The purpose of our publication is to shed light on historical connections and to stimulate aesthetic encounters with music in many different ways. The series is published with financial support from Germany's federal commissioners for culture and the media. The scholarly work on the edition is supported by a grant from the Ernst von Siemens Foundation of Music.
