Conference Papers
A quote from the conference report (Royal Music Association, United Kingdom):
"... Joseph Wong (Open University of Hong Kong), himself a composer, provided a broad overview of musical medievalist borrowing in modern music: in Lutosławski, Ligeti, and in Takemitsu. His emphasis on stylistic diversity among composers in the latter half of the twentieth century came to highlight how reinvention and revitalisation are central to [these] composers’ creative processes."
