This article presents information on the book "Music Ho!," by Constant Lambert. It is a book on modern music. It is the only one in which we will find any relation to our experience, in which, the music that is discussed will be recognizable as the music we have heard. Lambert describes the impasse at which music arrived, the ways in which composers attempted to escape it and the reasons why they failed. According to Lambert, we must bear in mind that the revolutionary music of the twentieth century was written before the last war in 1944, and that after the war there was a turning back not just to simplicity but to simplicities of the past, and to simplicities in different styles which were mingled in pastiche.
