It was the time of a “new challenge” when Evant-Garde compositions were introduced by Pan Hwang-Long returning to Taiwan at 1981 after his years long residence in Europe. Composers of “folk style” and of “Neue Musik” gradually got understanding with each other after their many debates, it was untill 1990s, composers worked with their music in a multiple mode with different ways. It is the history of a five-decades music composition, an emergence of a new horizon. The discourse was exampled by the works of Kuo Chi-Yuan, Lu Yen, Lai Der-Ho, Pan Hwang-Long, Yang Tsung-Hsien and Lee Szu-Hsien, 6 composers from different periods.
