The definite masterpiece of 20th Century minimalist music from Philip Glass, his debut original vinyl Chatham Square 1973 pressing.
Philip Glass is assisted by his Glass Ensemble of Jon Gibson, Richard Landry, Steve Chambers, Art Murphy, Robert Prado!! This piece, featuring variable instrumentation, is part of Philip Glass's earlier experiments in minimalism and stasis. However, unlike previous works of static repetition, this piece gradually adds new instruments as the music progresses. The significance of each entry causes a remarkable change in the music that lifts the minimalist approach to a higher level of energy and drama. In "Music in Fifths", Philip Glass's ideas are at their most basic, using only addition and subtraction of notes in simple scales to create epic, hypnotic musical forms. Cyclic rhythmical structures, stable harmony, repetitive structures and a steady eight-note beat can be perceived throughout the work.
Philip Glass studied with Vincent Persichetti, Darius Milhaud, William Bergsma, Nadia Boulanger and Ravi Shankar, worked with Laurie Anderson and James Tenney, and is associated with the late 20th century 'minimalism' movement along with John Adams, Steve Reich, La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Charlemagne Palestine, Phil Niblock, and Tony Conrad."(kind courtesy of keymap)
