Oorspronklik

Philip Glass has produced ten symphonies so far, the ones immediately preceding this one inspired by sources as diverse as Allen Ginsberg poetry, Aboriginal writings and Native American song. Symphony No 8, however, has no references to non-musical materials and takes as its subject, according to Glass, ‘the language of music itself’. The three-movement work does not conform to classical symphonic form, with an extended twenty-minute first movement, a slow passacaglia for the second movement and a short, dense theme joined by a counter theme then ending with an extended cadence to complete the work in the third movement. Symphony No 8 was commissioned by the Bruckner Orchester Linz under the direction of Dennis Russell Davis. 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. ’ His operas, among them the renowned 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 Glass Ensemble.

Vertaling

Philip Glass het tien simfonieë so ver, die kinders onmiddellik hierdie een geïnspireer deur bronne so uiteenlopend soos Allen Ginsberg poësie, Aboriginal geskrifte en inheemse Amerikaanse liedjie voorafgaande geproduseer. Symphony No 8, egter, het geen verwysings na nie-musikale materiaal en neem as sy onderwerp, volgens Glass, 'die taal van die musiek self'. Die drie-beweging werk voldoen nie aan die klassieke simfonie vorm, met 'n uitgebreide en-twintig minute eerste beweging, 'n stadige passacaglia vir die tweede beweging en 'n kort, digte tema verbind deur 'n toonbank tema dan eindig met 'n uitgebreide kadens om die werk te voltooi in die derde beweging. Symphony No 8 is in opdrag van die Bruckner Orchester Linz onder die leiding van Dennis Russell Davis. Amerikaanse komponis Philip Glass is wyd bekend as een van die mees gevierde, invloedryke en produktiewe van die moderne komponiste. Hy word dikwels na verwys as 'n minimalistiese, alhoewel hy verkies om homself 'n komponis van 'musiek met herhalende strukture te roep. 'Sy operas, waaronder die bekende Einstein op die strand in die hele wêreld uitgevoer is, en hy het die werk geskep vir klein en groot ensembles, film en eksperimentele teater, en is gestig om sy eie presterende groep, The Philip Glass Ensemble.
