Polystylism

Polystylism

Polystylism is the use of multiple styles or of music, and is seen as a postmodern characteristic.

Some prominent contemporary composers commonly listed as polystylist include Ciarán Farrell, Lera Auerbach, Yitzhak Yedid, Sofia Gubaidulina, George Rochberg, Alfred Schnittke, Django Bates and John Zorn. However, Gubaidulina, among others, has rejected the term as not applicable to her work. [Vera Lukomsky, "Sofia Gubaidulina: 'My Desire Is Always to Rebel, to Swim against the Stream!'”. "Perspectives of New Music" 36. no. 1 (Winter 1998): 5–41, citation on 24-26.]
