Perspectives of New Music
- Perspectives of New Music
"Perspectives of New Music" is a journal founded in 1962 by Arthur Berger and Benjamin Boretz, who initiated the project in 1955 as a graduate student at Brandeis University. It is dedicated to writings reflecting the concerns, musical and philosophical, of contemporary American composers and those who perform and study new music, as well as issues in the music theory of new music. Contributors have included composers, theorists, music historians, performers, philosophers, scientists, poets, and creative thinkers in many areas of practice. The journal was first sponsored by the Fromm Music Foundation and published by Princeton University Press; after 1972, when Paul Fromm discontinued the support of his foundation, Perspectives formed an independent corporation, which has continued its publication up to the present. Boretz edited the journal from 1962 through 1983, with co-editors Berger (1962-64); Edward T. Cone (1968-72); Elaine Barkin (1972-83). John Rahn was Editor from 1983-1993; Boretz again in 1994-95; from 1995-2000, there was a group of five editors (Joseph Dubiel, Marion Guck, Marianne Kielian-Gilbert, Andrew Mead, Stephen Peles). The current editors are Benjamin Boretz, Robert Morris, and John Rahn.
