 | DEDALUS ENSEMBLE (PERFORMING PHILIP GLASS) Music with Changing Parts Label : Sub Rosa Year : 2025 Format : 2xLP Style : Contemporary Music Availability : In stock Price : 24.80 € - BUY | |
| Description : | Founding work of minimalism, Music with ChangingParts is a piece with free instrumentation.The musicians choose which part to play among the8 staves of the score. At each indicated cue, themusicians can change part, which produces an abrupt change of instrumentation. While the music is basedon a melodic material limited to a few notes that are repeated in patterns that expand or contract, the changesin orchestration refresh the listening experience by producing sonic contrasts. These techniques at workin Music with Changing Parts , written in 1970, will lead Philip Glass to renew his language and move from themonochromatic works that precede it to more dramatic works such as music in 12 parts and especially the opera Einstein on the Beach.When Philip Glass began rehearsing the piece, he was surprised to hear long notes when everything waswritten in eighth notes. After making sure that noneof the musicians were playing held notes, he realizedthat the fact that the same notes were played by allthe instruments in the ensemble produced, througha psycho-acoustic effect, a harmonic substrate ofresonant frequencies. He then decided to add tothe score the possibility of playing long notes toreinforce this effect.
For this recording, we chose to record first the eighthnotes, then the long notes in re-recording. This utopian version, with each musician playing short and longnotes at the same time (!), illustrates the minimalist aesthetic that plays with our perception and allowsus to reconcile opposites and cultivate the apparentparadox of a music that moves forward withoutMoving and changes constantly while remaining the same. | |
