Philip Glass: Symphony No.8

音楽

いつの間に第8番まで…

NOTES:
Symphony No. 8 represents a return, after a number of major works, to orchestral music where the subject of the work is the language of music itself, as in the tradition of the 18th and 19th century symphonies. To elucidate briefly:

  • Symphony No. 8 contains no references or allusions to non-musical materials at all. However, its formal structure is quite unusual and is worth a brief comment. The three movements are markedly different from each other in length, texture and internal musical procedures.
