Subtitle: A Listener's Guide to the Recovery of Modern Music

The single greatest crisis of the 20th century was the loss of faith. Noise―and its acceptance as music―was the product of the resulting spiritual confusion and, in its turn, became the further cause of its spread. Likewise, the recovery of modern music, the theme to which this book is dedicated, stems from a spiritual recovery. This is made explicitly clear by the composers whose interviews are collected in this book.
