Music by Philip Glass
CAST:
Philip Glass Ensemble (voice, winds, keyboards)
PREMIERE:
New York Town's Hall, 1974
NOTES:
Music in Twelve Parts, written by Philip Glass between 1971 and 1974, is
a deliberate, encyclopedic compendium of some techniques of repetition
the composer had been evolving since the mid 1960s. It holds an important
place in Glass's repertory - not only from a historical vantage point (as
the longest and most ambitious concert piece for the Philip Glass Ensemble)
but from a purely aesthetic standard as well, because Music in Twelve Parts
is both a massive theoretical exercise and a deeply engrossing work of
art.
