Description

This movement has its origins in the film score Koyaanisqatsi, but was ultimately not used in the film; it is often performed as a work in its own right (ISWC T-010.461.089-0).

Based on Bowie’s 1977 album Low, it featured a full orchestra, yet remained true to Glass’s minimalist and postmodernist style. Next was Symphony No.4 (1996) based on one of Bowie’s most famous albums, Heroes . This symphony was made up of six movements, each cleverly derived from a theme from the album. The Photographer for soloists, chorus and orchestra (1982, based on the life of Eadweard Muybridge)

Six Scenes from Les Enfants Terribles for two pianos (1996, transcribed by Maki Namekawa and Dennis Russell Davies) To celebrate the 85th birthday of Philip Glass today (31 January 2022), PRS for Music has released two charts, revealing some of the prolific composer’s most popular works and film scores.

Glass loves a trilogy. First the portrait trilogy ( Einstein on the Beach, Satyagraha and Akhnaten ) and then the David Bowie trilogy – a series of symphonies based on three Bowie albums known as the Berlin Trilogy . Glass combined instrumental pieces from these albums with his own compositions which resulted in a unique collaboration between pop and orchestral music… Rubric" is another avalanche of hypnotic melodies where the whole ensemble is firing up on all cylinders. It even outpaces "Floe" with its rushing tempos, but these two compositions are the climaxes of this record. Actually these are prime examples of maximum minimalism, if this term could ever be employed. "Closing" is an orchestrated variant of "Opening" and it's lyrical, exciting and gentle. a b Martin, Erin Lyndal (April 30, 2012). "Celebrating The 30th Anniversary Of Glassworks By Philip Glass".

Although rhythmically driven, the melodic implications of "Floe" occur somewhat coincidentally by orchestration. There is no modulation, but the harmonic progression simply repeats over and over again. The layering of contrasting timbres is characteristic of the piece as a whole. Floe borrows a theme from Jean Sibelius's fifth symphony. [9] In popular culture [ edit ]
