In music, neoconservative postmodernism is "a sort of 'postmodernism of reaction',"[1] which values, "textual unity and organicism as totalizing musical structures," like, "latter-day modernists,"[2] and includes composers such as Fred Lerdahl, John Harbison, and Steve Reich[3].

Neoconservative, "postmodernism is understood as a 'return to the verities of tradition (in art, family, religion...)' and where, crucially, modernism 'is reduced to a style...and condemned or excised entirely as a cultural mistake; pre- and postmodern elements are then elided, and the humanist tradition is preserved.'"[4]
