Milena Velba On Bus Adult

Pärt and Glass

Two composers I am attracted by their different way of trying to survive over time.

The first is Philip Glass. His media image is consistent with their prolific output. At times his insistent use of the same resources I am disappointed. Further, his music is subtle, involves and encourages me to travel. Do not you think you hear some of his pieces on the piano or the soundtrack of "The Hours" is an intimate act?

The second composer Glass is inimical to Arvo Pärt. Religious music touches your silence. "Für Alina" or "My heart is in the Highlands" are contained, introspective. Again, it requests the complicity the listener. Neither Glass nor

auditions Pärt are simple. Some pieces like "Koyaanisqatsi" or "Fratres" are immediately appealing, but its assessment progresses over time. That evolution does not cease in our brain holds the key to longevity. Both composers will grow over time because they did not write for the moment.
