Ellen Taaffe Zwilich's musical style is typically categorized as post-modern, neo-romantic. She won a 1983 Pulitzer Prize in Music for Symphony No. I (Three Movements for Orchestra), "commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra and premiered by that orchestra on May 5, 1982 in Alice Tully Hall, New York City." Zwilich was the first woman to win a Pulitzer for composing music.

Prior to the 1980s, Zwilich's work was considered "atonal."
