Posted 6 months ago at 12:00 am

Music is an incredibly powerful mode of expression. Composers have so many choices and methods for drawing out emotions both of their own and for the listeners. Different styles of music can inspire different emotions. A lot of modern compositions can deal with a range from soft and intimate to powerful and booming. Jazz and swing both have great methods for using lighter feels that get you moving. With modern composers have some sounds at their disposal that weren-t around in the past with the use of electronics such as synthesizers and electric guitars. They have the unique ability to fuse the old with the new.

With modern composers that moved from other musical backgrounds like Stewart Copeland, Jonny Greenwood, and Bjork the lines become even more blurred. But the heart and soul is there. You listen to the music and you feel the passion and energy. Chick Corea has become one of the most prolific composers in the past 40 years just due to his volume of work. He has reworked bebop, jazz, fusion, funk and even children-s songs into his body of work. To put it simply there is no shortage of vibrant composers in this modern day. And they do not shy from sharing their passion and soul in what they create.
