From Einstein On The Beach-Einstein On The Beach the opera from which Knee Play 3 was extracted was a seminal work that broke all the rules being non-linear non-narrative episodic dreamlike and five hours long.Knee Play 3 is one of the number songs composed for scene changes using numbers and solfege syllables as text. American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated influential and prolific of the modern composers. He is frequently referred to as a minimalist though he prefers to call himself a composer of ‘music with repetitive structures.' Glass' operas among them therenowned Einstein On The Beach are performed across the globe and he has created work for small and large ensembles film and experimental theatre and founded his own performing group The Philip GlassEnsemble.This eight minute piece is the third Knee Play from Einstein On The Beach and is scored for unaccompanied SATB chorus.

Another Look at Harmony Part 4 was written while Glass was working on Einstein on the Beach and it is easy to hear similarities between the two works. In Harmony the Voices use solfege and nonsense syllables where in Einsteinrecognizable words are sometimes set non-narratively. There are similar harmonic progressions that the two pieces share though it is less predictable in Harmony. In both works Glass takes all the time he needs to explore histheme. Another Look at Harmony requires approximately one hour to perform with intensity building through the many repetitions over time.American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most celebrated influentialand prolific of the modern composers.

An opera in four acts for ensemble chorus and soloists in full score from minimalist composer Philip Glass.

Given thenature of the music - the lengthy repetition of small elements very gradual development and change recurring patterns - audience members are free to enter and leave as they wish.

A first typeset and corrected study score of the five choral and instrumental pieces that punctuate the action of Philip Glass's mighty theatre piece of 1976 Einstein on the Beach (1976). Republished to mark the work's firstinternational tour since 1983. Foreword by Keith Potter author of 'Four Musical Minimalists' (2000)

'Another Look at Harmony' is a project started in 1975. The approach has been to link directly rhythmic and harmonic structure. In doing so easily audible root movement (chords or 'changes') was chosen in order that the clarityof their relationship could easily be heard. Here as in earlier periods of Western music melodic material is for the most part a function or result of the harmony. However it is clear that some of the priorities of Westernmusic (harmony/melody first then rhythm) have been reversed.
