Modernist Music

Famous quotes containing the words modernist and/or music:

    The modernist writers found despair inspirational.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.
    Andrew Lang (1844–1912)
