Music with Changing Parts - Performing by Dedalus Ensemble

Description

Music with Changing Parts (1970) by Philip Glass, a foundational work of minimalist music, performed by the Ensemble Dedalus. Philip Glass (born in 1937 in Baltimore) is considered one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. Along with La Monte Young, Terry Riley and Steve Reich, he is one of the pioneers and one of the most eminent representatives of minimalist music, notably of the repetitive school. Founded in 1996 by Didier Aschour, Dedalus is a contemporary music ensemble based in Toulouse and associated with GMEA - Centre National de Création Musicale d'Albi-Tarn. A champion of freely scored works from experimental contemporary music, Dedalus is organized as a collective in which arrangements, orchestrations and interpretations are developed jointly. Its repertoire includes works by minimalist classics (Christian Wolff, Moondog or Philip Glass), independent composers (Peter Ablinger, Jo Kondo, Luc Ferrari). The ensemble performs in Europe and the United States: Roulette (NYC), Café Oto (London), Sonorités (Montpellier), Musique Action (Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy), Angelica (Bologna), Elektricity (Reims), Philharmonie de Paris, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival.
