I am growing more and more fond of his music, which has always had a kind of magic to it.Bryan Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482696991279345516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8827040061563065922.post-65000265234817345522014-07-09T02:43:15.927-05:002014-07-09T02:43:15.927-05:00Interesting tour.

Also the first time I listen to Philip Glass' 8th symphony. It's a very interesting symphony with nice melodic material. Indeed, while it may remain a bit on the minimalistic side, it does indeed seem to have a more classistic approach. I didn't realize that Glass made a move towards classicism as you pointed out. I wonder if when modernism and postmodernism loses its' force if we will move towards a sort of updated classical style, probably with different harmonies, orchestrations etc. but where the aesthetic aspects are far more important. One can only speculate. Rickardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08084578675339015204noreply@blogger.com
