So ALL of my classical music gets the tag "classical". It also gets one of "baroque", "classicalperiod", "romantic", "20thC". Except sometimes for crossover work when it might get two of those. Then its likely to get tagged as one of "symphony", "concerto", "choral" or "chamber". So a Mozart symphony would be "classical;classicalperiod;symphony" and I can browse under any of those genres and find it. Or a Milhaud sonata might be "classical;20thC;chamber;woodwind".
What do you do with Philip Glass? His work is currently tagged "Classical;Avant Garde" in my collection (mostly -- the Low and 'Heroes' symphonies add "...;Glam;Eno", and the soundtracks add "...;Soundtrack"), but it just feels weird tagging music composed in my lifetime as "classical". Is there another word for describing serious music written in the modern era?
