There’s a subsection of contemporary music called ‘Musical  Historicism;’ a genre of music that uses historical elements and revives  them in modern works.
From Minimalism to Totalism, Modernism to Post-Modernism to  Neomodernism; we’re taking a look at pieces that influence contemporary  compositions, either to mimic the past or to be the antithesis.
