Philip Glass - Music in 12 Parts

[jazzy_dave]

How about some classical minimalism for your morning.

Philip Glass: The Philip Glass Ensemble ‎– Music In Twelve Parts CD1 

1 Part 1
2 Part 2
3 Part 3


This is just the first three sections as the whole recording is four hours long. Available now on 4 CD's from its vinyl version of 1974. As a composition leading to the understanding of Glass alone, Twelve Parts is fundamental, and as a key to reading subsequent developments in classical and electronic (pop-ish) music , it is sine qua non.
And yes, it is one of the most important recordings of the 20th century as defined by Wire magazine.
