Abstract American music today exhibits greater vitality, diversity, and distinctiveness than at any other time in U.S. history. The author's informal conversations with eleven active composers relate how the new American music established its independence from postwar European serialism and the academic hegemony by incorporating elements of native nonclassical music and of once-alien non-Western cultures.
