50 Years of Innovation

Golden Anniversary Issue
Volume 50 (2012) was mailed to subscribers in January 2013. This special Golden Anniversary Double Issue, vol. 50 nos. 1&2, features:
  • A History of Perspectives, as told in many interviews and essays by people who have been involved at some time during the past 50 years;
  • A special feature on Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Volume 49, including:

  • Special issue on Musical Tiling
  • Milton Babbitt: A Composers' Memorial

It is not too late to subscribe for the historic Volume 49, which includes at no extra cost a very special Supplement dedicated to the memory of Milton Babbitt. 24 Compositions by living composers were commissioned by Perspectives of New Music and are compiled here in a 4-CD boxed set and a 428-page book of scores, notes, and essays. This Supplement was produced as a joint project of Perspectives of New Music and Open Space.

For Volume 49, Number 2, John Rahn and Emmanuel Amiot have co-edited a special package on the theory and practice of tilings in music.
