Einstein On The Beach, the opera from which Knee Play 1 was extracted, was a seminal work that broke all the rules, being non-linear, non-narrative, episodic, dreamlike and five hours long.Knee Play 1 is one of the number songs composed for scene changes, simply set to Organ and using numbers and solfege syllables as text.
American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of themost 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.'
Glass' 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, ThePhilip Glass Ensemble.
This four minute piece is the first Knee Play from Einstein On The Beach and is scored for SATB chorus and Organ.
