Recording and remix engineer: Kurt Munkacsi; NB: 'The most appealing of these works -and the only one that the Philip Glass Ensemble still keeps in its active repertory - is Music In Similar Motion (1969). "The real innovation in Similar Motion is its sense of drama," Glass said in 1993. "The earlier pieces were meditative, steady-state pieces that established a mood and stayed there. But Similar Motion starts with one voice, then adds another playing a fourth above the original line, and then another playing a fourth below the original line, and finally a bass line kicks in to complete the sound. As each new voice enters, there is a dramatic change in the music."
Music in Fifths (1969) is in "closed form" - a predetermined structure that ends when the accumulation of repetitions fill it out completely. Glass has always considered Music in Fifths a sort of teasing homage to Boulanger; it is written entirely in parallel fifths, a cardinal sin in the traditional counterpoint his teacher so carefully instructed.'
