Note: Music in Twelve Parts is a set of twelve pieces written between 1971 and 1974 by the composer Philip Glass. The eleven instruments in this work cycle are played by five musicians: three electric organs, two flutes, four saxophones (2 sopr, 1 alto, 1 tenor) and one female voice. Only the organ can be heard throughout; the other instruments are not playing simultaneously the whole time. Only one piece was originally written, called "Music in Twelve Parts" because it was originally intended to have twelve lines of counterpoint harmony, but when he played it to a friend, she asked him what the other eleven parts would be like. He found the misunderstanding interesting, and wrote another eleven parts over a period of three years. The entire set can be over three hours long when performed. In these works, Glass uses repetitive structures often associated with musical minimalism. Despite this, many of the works display a great deal of variety and invention. The music develops slowly, and there are long periods during which a casual listener would not notice any change. If one listens closely, however, this is seen to be an illusion, since patterns actually change form almost continuously, though nearly imperceptibly. The pieces are therefore challenging to the listener, but they have still enjoyed a significant level of popularity and are often cited as a major work of the second half of the 20th century. The works show a great emphasis on development and slow alteration, with different pieces utilizing different techniques for development.
Take it from me, it's not an easy task to get through this in one pass as is the original intended effect. I simply don't have the patience to listen to 3 hours of Philip Glass' repetitions so you could do what I do and break listening sessions up into 3 (each set is separated by disc number for easier playlist arrangement) and enjoy it that way or if you think you're brave enough you can listen to it straight through. Also, you could shuffle the tracks but that would destroy the original continuity established by Glass but do what sounds best to you. If you smoke weed, get your bowl, blunt, whatever ready because you are in for the trip of your life. Hell, this music is your life. After Inception, Sherlock Holmes AND Willard, this felt like the perfect conclusion to this rather momentous series of events.
Welcome to a new level of human consciousness and enjoy!
