Music & Lyrics: Philip Glass. Design & Direction: Robert Wilson. Performed by the Philip Glass Ensemble Published by Dunvagen Music Publishers, Inc. (ASCAP). © 1976 Philip Glass Einstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera. Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement, Glass chose to compose the work for the synthesizers, woodwinds and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-narrative in form, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images as its main storytelling device shown in juxtaposition with abstract dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs. It is structured in four interconnected acts and divided by a series of short scenes or "knee plays." Taking place over five hours, there are no traditional intermissions. Instead, the audience is invited to wander in and out at liberty during the performance. Einstein on the Beach was revolutionary when first performed and is now considered one of the most remarkable performance works of our time. The New York Times art critic and producer John Rockwell has said of seeing Einstein on the Beach for the first time: "Einstein was like nothing I had ever encountered. For me, its very elusiveness radiated richly, like some dark star whose effects we can only feel. The synergy of words and music seemed ideal." He continues, "Einstein on the Beach, perhaps, like Einstein himself, transcended time. It's not (just) an artifact of its era, it's timeless ... Einstein must be seen and re-seen, encountered and savored ... an experience to cherish for a lifetime."

Very interesting

I bought this song on Amazon, but this recording is different and better. Apparently, that's just classical music can be. :-/
-
just found out about minimalism in my music class, I like it, we also heard the Music For 18 Muscicians"
-
Oh yes I know a bit about minimalism. I'm a music major and we had to look at some pieces of music from the genre in my upper division theory class. Music for 18 Musicians" being one of them. Some minimalism I'm not a fan of but this piece was very interesting to me.
-
Minimalism is a beautiful sub genre of classical music (and music in general). It places emphasis on repetition and gradual, subtle changes throughout the music, which makes it very interesting and fun to listen to. I'm glad you like it- many don't appreciate this kind of music, however :(. I reccomend Glass' piece "glassworks", Reich's "music for 18 musicians", and some of John Adams' music (like "Century Rolls" and "The Chairman Dances").
