What would you say is Philip Glass's best work?
>>65607561
Sodium silicate.
music in twelve parts
Melodies for Saxophone
Its fairly short and doesn't rely too heavily on repetition (compared to his other works)
The one where he plays looped arpeggios for 12 minutes
That fucking Koyaanisqtasi soundtrack
>>65607561
Correct answer, coming through...

You can ignore every answer ITT because it's Einstein On The Beach.
>>65609206 hasn't listened to Glass beyond Glassworks.
Satyagraha, Hydrogen Jukebox or Koyaanisqtasi
Einstein is cringeworthy and needs an editor.
>>65607561
Either Tirol Concerto or Satyagraha
North Star
Makes great use of electric organs and voice. it sounds closer to Terry Riley or David Borden then his blockbuster movie soundtrack sounding shit.
To be fair I haven't heard all his work only because once I listened to a great chunk of it I started to realize it was all the same.
Anyone who posts a piece outside of the 1970's is a teenager who hasn't listened to anything good by Glass.
>>65607744

What did he mean by this?
>>65608015
what's that one called?
>>65610630
Is your post an attempt to portray the worst of his bland repetitive minimalism
His solo cello works are worth a listen too
>no knock knock joke
>>65610630
>anything outside of the 1970's is not good
You're a fucking idiot, m8

Outside of the 70's he stopped composing his interesting music, which was his Minimalist music. He moved into a style where he has tried to be more Neoclassical. It hasn't worked out for him because whereas the old style sounds/ed fresh and modern the new stuff sounds cheesy and cliche. You can't listen to the 8th Symphony and say it's a great work, same with Glassworks and similar.

>You can't listen to the 8th Symphony and say it's a great work
Depends on who you ask though
>>65610979
It's literally fucking Doctor Who music.
It's trashy, poorly written, contrapuntally confused music.
>>65607561
Probably Pure Guava or the Mollusk
I like North Star a lot
>>65610997
kej
>>65607561
Glassworks
>>65610902
Well first of all, although I wouldn't, I'm pretty sure I CAN say that his 8th is a great work.
He's made some great minimalist pieces, but his orchestral pieces are his orchestral pieces, and I dont think that he was TRYING to be neoclassical -- that's just a ridiculous assertion.

>and I dont think that he was TRYING to be neoclassical
Yeah obviously he wasn't.
He just started writing Concertos, String Quartets, and Symphonies in a tonal, Western style.
You're a fucking moron.
>>65611088
What the fuck else was he going to do? Start making Noise? What else could possibly done with his brand of minimalism -- it's an intrinsically self-limiting approach.
As far as im concerned, saying that he was "trying to be more neoclassical" implies that he was attempting to conform to something that went against his intuition. I don't believe it did. And I think that if you look at the work of minimalists who stuck to their rigid ideology, they're oeuvre is almost always monotonous and boring AF.
But the fact is, Glass was always very melodic, and so it makes complete sense that he would want to branch out.

So now your changing your argument? Man I can tell you're a baby kid.
His work on the new Fantastic 4 movie is nothing but... fantastic
>>65610986
Again, an entirely subjective point. No need for swearing either
>>65611305
Ok kid... I guess I'm a baby kid. And I didn't exactly change my argument, kid
