Abstract

My research places reactions to John Cage into the historical context of the Sixties. Cage was a composer of Avant-Garde experimental music. While many mid-century reactions were negative, he has become an institution of post-modern classical music. Evidence shows one can align this change with cooptation of the Sixties Counterculture.
