- Philip Glass - Dance Nos. 1-5
The music on this album was originally conceived as a three-way collaboration between composer Philip Glass, choreographer Lucinda Childs and artist Sol LeW tt. Dance received its world premiere in Amsterdam on October 19, 1979 and its New York premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on November 29, 1979.

This is one of Philip Glass' best compositions. *He said for the 17th time*
*slow clap*
The most incredible thing about Philip Glass music is that it's equally perfect for working and also for resting
I was lucky enough to see a few dress rehearsals and a few of the original performances at BAM, and the recent (albeit truncated) reprisal at New York's Joyce Theatre. Only the 5th piece was played live by the ensemble, the other 4 being prerecorded. The dancing and film were synced and beautifully seamless. Ebullient, effervescent and energizing, the performance lifted the audience on a ride to heaven and back. Miss Childs looked like a mercurial Audrey Hepburn in her two solos, but the dance ensemble were magnificent in making this massively calculated effort look effortless and joyful. Elsewhere on youtube there are fragments of the video of the performance, but it would be wonderful if the entire event could be redone again in its entirety.

Thanks for the timestamps though!
A real phenomenon, enhancing one's mood as almost nothing else ever written, this is music of sheer ascent as the booklet rightly says. It is exhilaration incarnate.
This music touches my soul and intrigues my mind.
Same here.
It's hard to imagine a more accomplished and sensitive performance and production, and Iris Hiskey's voice has some of the most ravishingly feminine, alluring harmonics in all singing: she touches in the notes precisely in line with understated nature of the work's radiance and ecstasy, adding to the fascination.
1 and 3 were originally recorded by Tomato Records around the time of the dance's premiere; Tomato was also the record label on which Einstein on the Beach originally appeared. #s 2, 4, and 5 were recorded in the late-1980s by CBS/Sony. For years we only had 1 and 3 to listen to, so it was a total thrill to finally hear 2, 4, and 5 many years later.
Listening to this upload now, I'm struck by the unbridled sense of joy that shines through, reminding me of why I would always play #s from this set when something great had happened in my life.
That Philip Glass Is A Baddest Organization Piano Play Ever
Iconic
Something about this particular Philip Glass really touches my heart. The progression of the harmonies.
It has truly incredible magnetism and exhilaration, creating an insatiable fascination with the attention transfixed and mesmerized by every last detail: possibly the most unturnoffable and compulsive thing ever written its returns are almost unique in music.
Absolutely entrancing! I had the privilege of seeing Maestro Glass conduct his ensemble in a small venue in Bozeman, MT circa Glassworks. Stunning!
You are lucky. Wait, in Bozeman?!
Life is strange you know, i usually happen to like a lot music of a very different kind ( Boulez, Ligeti, Zappa, Feldman, Manoury, Debussy, Ravel, Strawinsky, Hindemith, Poulenc, Berio, Dusapin, Lindberg, Salonen,etc...), but i love this work so much ! Its lovely textures, its neverending vitality, its surprising shifts of rythm and its absolute determination to follow a strict pattern, i love them all ! Thanks !
I suscribe entirely here, I identically listen to almost (perhaps) all composers named and feeling specially this music, doesn't-it due particularly to the very volontary style of minimalist music ?
why do you like boulez?

welcome to Philip Glass :)
I love the fact that timbres are so important here, and the insistence of rhythm!
I keep listening to it, and it keeps being beautiful ! such à joy to listen to !
I like Phillip Glass a lot.
Folks say, great; show me something.
Then they tell me i.m crazy.
Il est difficile d'imaginer une performance et une production plus abouties et plus sensibles, et la voix d'Iris Hiskey possède certaines des harmoniques les plus féminines et les plus séduisantes de tous les chants : elle touche les notes précisément en ligne avec la nature discrète de l'éclat et de l'extase de l'œuvre
Pure magic.
absolutely beautiful music to relax with your thoughts
belíssimo, leve e rápido.
Questo album è SANTO
Thank you for uploading this. It's working.
And what strong melodic voice Glass has, identifiable from just a few notes. As a new genre minimalism has a somewhat limited number of great and significant works, but this is one.
Simplemente excelente !
Love number 2...
Some have difficulty with the surface homogeneity in place of traditional depth structure but this piece really crushes the objections of writers like Robert Fink or Roger Scruton.
I know I'm 8 years late, but I was thinking the same thing. Reading Roger Scruton on standards of beauty and modern degeneracy, I feel like Philip Glass' music is an interesting rejoinder of sorts.
Stellar!!!
The comments section is an open forum and separate from the video. Anything goes and that's how I like it. If you believe I am handling things incorrectly than go ahead and post your own copy of this album.
I am a Dancer, That is to say a conduit.
I don't define movement, movement defines me.
Every dance tells a story, a Human mind.
EXXPLORHESHIOOON!!!!
This music does seem to capture the excitement of the instinctive, intuitive flow of dance that is endogenous, aleatoric, intrinsic and shaped by the dancer or "conduit", as you stated.
@@crescentsi I am unsure if your comment is also a joke, but my comment is a reference to a different joke video which has those words
@@birbthetopicman2851 No it wasn't a joke! I was responding to your post! I thought you were a dancer which is why I wrote my response in a specific way...
Magnífico!
Dances Nos 1,3 & 5 are designed to be played at high volume and with an edge on the treble balance: without this, or on some steros, much of the inner detail is lost and the result can be bland- playing in the car can be ideal with the sound bouncing off the walls.
Awesome upload brother.
glorious.
awesome
Bravo
Thank God for "nut" who creates beautiful music. As for you "Lord PlatePus", you are the downer who's world is without joy.
Whose*
Also, who's Lord PlatePus? I'm curious
If you like this, I recommend "Music in 12 Parts" also from that period.
Good minimalism raises some interesting questions about how the attention works- its remarkable involving quality seems to be related to the process of strong ideas being repeated before they can begin to be processed or reconciled intellectually, focussing the mind instead on the inexhaustible fascination of the aesthetic.
Dance #1 Is My Favorite And #4 And #5
No. There is nothing accidental about Philip Glass. Every note is there deliberately. Timing is everything. It is the complete opposite of dadaism. And since when do people have to know what dadaism is to enjoy something? Anybody can enjoy whatever music they want. YEESH.
Reminds me of Terry Riley.
Any Riley pieces in particular?
@@allotrope2978 In C, performed by an orchestra with gamelan instruments in it. The best and loveliest version, imo.
@@barbarasmith6005 Is it on youtube?
@@barbarasmith6005 Except that while "In C" has a lot of improvisation (at least in how a musician follows the score), this is fully structured start-to-finish. Both have sort of an atmospheric feel to them, creating a soundscape rather than a story like traditional classical music, but they get there through different means.
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now, please!)
of a cybernetic forest
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.

Album cover = Einstein on the Beach teaser, got them blue converse sneakers on display!
Einstein on the Beach came before Dances 1-5, but the Dances in EoB are certainly a precursor!
Track one reminds me of The Field's "Thought vs. action"
I wonder if The Field listens to Glass.
The sound of Krishna's Rasa Dance
No, but you are sooooo smart and soooo hip for using big words.
As they said about Mozart: It was music I had never heard before!
153,144
144 perfection
Richard Wagner should be jealous , now I'm not only a Glass fan, but a yippie - minimalistic fan !! The vocalists are true gymnastics , just take a look to a glass live opera!!!

The intense onward lines and intoxication parallel sexual and narcotic experience and the solfage syllables sung have erotic overtones. Such is its communicative power it's the sort of piece that would be rather interesting to play at a nightclub with a massive sound system to see people's reaction, with the gripping rhythms and motivic fragments recognizable by the pop crowd.
ditto, when i started to hear "fuck me, fuck me, fuck me, fuck me", in dance 1 or 3 i think,lol.
this whole entire piece is one, gigantic mushroom trip.
you are probably right, philip glass can't be tied down to merely the 'miminal' sub-genre. I'm only not sure, since I haven't heard any of what has been officially termed, 'dada ist' music (don't even know if there is such a thing). I wonder sometimes what kurt schwiters work would sound like if translated from visual to audio. Hum...maybe Nurse With Wound?
Wonderful sounds. Takes a minute to adjust to its uniqueness. Daring
I am a dancer, that is to say a conduit.
01:07:17 somebody should sample that and put a hip hop beat to it!
I'd do it, but i'm lazy :)
My country of origin is a party to the proposed TPP and am very much against it. I'll check EFF.org for sure.
Wasn't this part of "In the Upper Room"?
Dance no. 3 sounds like how Narnia feels.
youve been to Narnia!
A previous contributor has described this music as Dadaist. My wife agrees, it goes dadadadadada for bloody ages Then mercifully stops. I absolutely love the composition 'Passages' written with Ravi Sankra performed at the Proms this year.
You should have seen the performances at Bam thirty years ago. Heavenly is the only description. Put this music on, take off your shoes and dance in the grass.
28:13 onwards . Still can't work out how that is being played. Unless its a nose job.
maybe it's performed by two musicians?
@@sidolanters1394 Only Riesman is listed. I get there is the possibility of "ghosting" (unwritten rhythms emerging from out of the combination of what the hands are playing) but even that would only account for part of it. I'm guessing over overdub but would love to see the score to see how its notated.
me too. ;)
The sheet music for this one as well as Dance 4 is definitely available for purchase if you’re interested
Since when does someone asking an innocent question and trying to start a conversation about the music's artistic connotations require that people respond snidely? Personally, I don't really see dada in the music. Indeed, it is very structured and seems fairly high-minded and bourgeois, aimed at mass audience. It doesn't too much challenge the listener's standard appreciation of "beauty", besides exhibiting minimalist schemes. If any dadaists came along today, I think Glass is who they'd attack.
If you are referring to Dada-ism,ist As in black /orange , red /orange , yellow,black /orange. It is certainly there.On /off On,on,on off,B,O...R,O...Y,B,O.It's wonderful
I'm also barley 8 minutes in
3 & 5 are a little less interesting: 3 is built around a powerful hypnotic sequence but is more simply repetitive and less developed, and the ideas in 5 aren't quite as strong or inevitable- it's also not sung by Hiskey. Nos.2 & 4 are for solo organ, again full of interest and intelligence.
I'm a dancer that is to say a conduit
philip glass invented music.
no
Where's the hook at?
TheKinoEye All.
Pepsi está muy feliz en los países hispanoparlantes después de esto.
I guess you didn't read the whole thing. Look for context before losing your cool. When kademan said no in his response, julwk said that because he doesn't agree that it's 'dadaistic' kademan isn't the right person to 'upload and manage Glass' music.' AKA, in his own mind, kademan doesn't get glass like julwk. There's no monopoly on who can enjoy what, and that's why people are harping on him. So once again... OY.
Mièvrerie ? Glass se moque-t-il ?
