Philip Glass At Home (2004)



Uploaded by: QuantPlus
Video Description:
Philip Glass practices a piece from "The Hours" for a benefit... and then goes out to buy a loaf of bread. As for the idiots that claim Mr.Glass is mistaken about what he is playing, STFU in general. He is referring to an adaptation of Metamorphosis Two (from "Solo Piano") for the film "The Hours" renamed "Escape!" (track #12 on the Academy Award nominated soundtrack).

Cool story:
I was at Gourmet Garage on the Upper West Side in NYC and this guy with a broken arm needs help with his groceries. He tells me his son and he were playing, and he broke it. Turns out he is such a nice guy. I help him with his groceries and call my girlfriend to tell her I met and helped Philip Glass.

Glass is such a talentless hack. Obviously there's a bunch of dim-witted fools on youtube that love to listen to the musings of talentless hacks.

im not much of a fan of philip glass, but the monoty of his themes create a certain sutil intensity of emotion. he is not talentles but he sticks with the easy stuff and musicaly justifies it. its called minimalism, and there are other great composers that follow this genre. its quite interesting

I agree. it does have a certain subtle intensity of emotion - unquote, and one which can send the listener from 0 to manic depressive in about 15 minutes if your not careful. Accordingly I very much pace myself when it comes to Glass.

What is interesting is that this video has been viewed 63,646 times, and rated 145 times. that means only 1 in every 435 viewers rate it.
I wonder why?
Could be because Philip Glass's compositions are basically not worth rating? and that his followers consist primarily of the deaf, the insane, and the musically impotent?
perhaps so..
Then again perhaps not. Now please excuse me while I go and take my medicine...
Do you even know ... ( 2 weeks ago by whitestripesftw)
Do you even know what minimalism is? Philip Glass had about 8 years of complex musical compositions for orchestra, but he threw them out, and decided that he would create music on the basis of modulating rhythm not harmony.
Minimalism is usually just an ostinato or two being repeated and slightly modulated so through the beginning of the piece and end of the piece shows some rhythmic development, maybe carry a simple melody through, maybe even basic harmony.
I'm not that big of ... ( 2 weeks ago by whitestripesftw)
I'm not that big of Glass fan, btw, but I do enjoy Riley and others who play minimalism, just wanted to let you know, minimalism isn't just "easy music." It can get overly complicated and pretty hard. Listen to "A Rainbow in Curved Air" by Terry Riley, or "Phrygian Gates" by Adams.
Minimalism is not ... ( 2 weeks ago by aguadololo)
Minimalism is not just an ostinato, or a repetetive arpeggio. Phillip Glass, knows what he is doing i am not questioning his musicianship. Minimalism runs on the basic frase: less is more. That can mean anything, with a simple element an amalgama of resources and development rises and becomes a piece or whatever, for example, Reich and Glass
Minimalism is actually very enjoyable for people that do not have much musical knowledge, because it is simple, that does not mean it is bad music
You are definitely ... ( 2 weeks ago by sugarhed)
You are definitely right about Adams' Phrygian Gates- it's not the fact that one would have to play that piece for over 20 minutes, but its the minute rhythmic details that Adams put in that is easily overlooked.
Steve Reich does it ... ( 1 week ago by saustinevans)
Steve Reich does it better imo, but I'm surprised at all the Philip Glass hate. He has made a sizable contribution to contemporary compositional technique with his work on minimalism. The dude's no lightweight. Go listen to Einstein on the Beach if you're not familiar with it.

he plays it a bit fast, is it because he is at home so he is kind of relaxed?
