40 years on, and it still scratches an itch no one else can. Probably the one true genius out of the "minimalist" crowd of the 70s-80s. (yes, among other truly excellent composers imho) His stuff just freakin' works.
I love philip glass so much, for among other things, forcing us to accept that modern and avante garde music can be moving, beautiful, deep, meaningful
I feel every atom in me listening to this. Like Spring came and even the infinitesimal specks of life are coming into the light to play. It is a fucking celebration of life. First Planck second after the Big Bang.
J'adore voir Glass jouer sa musique. Toujours très calme, très posé, très simple. Et quand on voit le résultat sonore d'une très grande partie de ce qu'il a produit, on ne peut qu'être totalement admiratif, et le remercier chaleureusement du bonheur immense qu'il nous procure
The atmosphere, the flow of human voice which doesn't insist on drawing words from any particular language, the sounds, the noises, the flow in shape of free energy passing through, the underlying melodies... One can find themselves looking up and being surrounded by all that chaotic energy from the universe represented in this piece. One can scream everything they wanted, every emotion, every frustration, every spark of joy into all that energy and it would accept it in its everlasting, overwhelming power and beauty.
This sounds very much like a series sound with a suspense, mystery, sci-fi style I was really blown away by this song, I can't describe my feeling when I hear it.
I use this record (vinyl) for my crash recovery from a bad day... I just instantly levitate and fly, into my mind... Singing this... That is beyond mastery!
Here’s the funny thing…this is what Hans Zimmer got the idea from. It’s literally the same exact melody and this song was written in the 70s. Phillip Glass is the master, you should really explore him.
Absolutely. Genius is a balance work and usage of everything we could find in ourselves to achieve extraordinariness. This is seems like that team work, but in external.
The repetition summons drone of industrial mass production. The resultant trance clears my mind and opens my inner ear. The music clears wax. I appreciate the silence between notes and the notes in GLASS's compositions. That might sum his art. I hear the silence between notes as well as the notes played. MONK the pianist and OLATUNJI the drummer do likewise for my ear.
When I hear this I think something is about to happen it's use in the movie the church was sheer genus even my husky and tuxedo cats knew this masterpiece
Saw it performed just last night. Couldn’t help wondering whether the audience’s rapturous reception would have been the same had it been performed by young people with guitars…
La musica minimalista e' la mia musica. Purtroppo mi coinvolge troppo e allora mi viene da piangere dalla gioia. Per un uomo di 70 anni non so se e' decente ma e' così
Il y a une conférence sur ce monsieur a Tourcoing mais je ne pense pas qu'il sera présent. Ça serai trop beau et puis je ne parle pas anglais ça serai dur de parler musique..
موسيقى فيليب جلاس لها جوّها الخاص ، حيث تتركك في حيرة من أمرك و إرتباك تام ، تضعك في غرفة سوداء جوفاء ، تخترق جداراتها و حدودها لتسافر بعيدا عن الواقع ، تضعك في حالة من اللا وعي. المجال الموسيقي الذي طورّه جلاس هو المصطلح الموسيقي المسمى بــ ” المينيمالزم ” أي البساطة ، جلاس لم يعجبه المصطلح كثيرا ، وفضّل أن يسمّيه ” موسيقى تكرار الهياكل ” ، و يقول البعض بأنه لا يوجد إنتاج بسيط لفيليب جلاس حتى الأن ، خلال مسيرته الفنية ، على الرغم من أن كثير من أعماله في البداية ، مليئة بالبساطة ، و التكرارات الموسيقيّة الأنيقة. قد تكون البساطة التي يتحدثون عنها تكمن في الإستماع لها ، و الشعور المصاحب والكلمات المُرسلة ، لا أثناء تأليفه لها . تحوي أعماله الموسيقية للنصوص ﺍﻟﺸﻌﺮﻳﺔ ﺍﻟﻤﻐﻨﺎﺓ ﻛﻠﻤﺎﺕ ﻗﻠﻴﻠﺔ ﻭﻣﻜﺮﺭﺓ، ﻗﻠﻴﻞ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻷﻓﻜﺎﺭ ﺍﻟﻠﺤﻨﻴﺔ، ﻭﻛﺜﻴﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺍﻟﺘﻮﺯﻳﻊ ﺍﻟﻤﻮﺳﻴﻘﻲ، ﻓﺎﻟﺮﺅﻳﺔ لديه ﺃﻋﻤﻖ ﺑﻜﺜﻴﺮ ﻣﻤﺎ ﺗﺒﺪﻭ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ .
What happened to the pacing? The piece doesn't "flow" nearly as well at this slow of a tempo (no pun intended). Yes, the Dora Ohrenstein version was better by far.
Eduardo González it takes an unbelievable amount of vocal dexterity and discipline to deliver a vocal like Dora's. You're not going to find a Dora on every continent. Cut her some slack, still great to see this given a live airing.
I read these comments and was ready to pounce on who those would dare to put down this performance. Then I listened to it... and Dora was WAY better. However, I saw PGE perform Music in 12 Parts with this same singer (I don't know her name) and she was amazing. So maybe this performance of Floe was just an off night... a very off night.
The discipline needed to perform this is nothing short of breathtaking.
Thank you for your insights, Sir. William Shakespeare.
I know. Right? I was just saying, "This is LIVE!" "I'm watching them do this LIVE!"

Forcing us? Shouldn't that just come natural?

relax
I love your perspective!

Listening to this feels like smiling through tears. Touching and absolutelly beautiful 🤍

There are no words to describe how wonderful I find this!
I like to believe that this is what life feels like to the healthy.
It is how it feels to the young in spring.
If only there was no coughing

Yes, the sound of the Cosmos!
The fact that this is taking place in Vilnius must mean something special to him as that is where Philip Glass's father hails from.
I saw Glass's Ensemble perform this piece several times in the early 80s. Unforgettable.
The love of my life took me to one of Glass' concerts, and I cried during the pieces that he played. Magnificent music! Ya either love it or hate it.
Thank you for uploading, there are just two versions of this piece with vocalist, are a jewel. Thanks so much!! 🙏
this makes my heart feel something special
My family experienced this in person. Yeah. So grateful to Glass and the Ensemble.
Such a lovely full sound, takes you anywhere.
listening to floe always makes me incredibly cognizant of my forthcoming death
It's not anything like that brain-melting take from '4 composers' with Dora Ohrenstein but I'd love to see this on stage
Wait, what? what is that 4 composers and Dora Ohrenstein thing?
@@Drabkikker I still like the Branka Parlic performances best. But not by much!

Somehow this would amazingly fit in midsommar
Not everything has to be catered to modern references. Let the piece stand on its own.
Thank You Thank You. Wonderful to see Mr. Glass do an older work.
This is a masterpiece and should of been in interstellar

should have*. Decline can be signaled by small things like language detriment. Have a nice day! Would you write that down as 'of a nice day', then?
@@Mightypoo007 damn, who hurt you buddy ?
@@aditxd1 Do you believe I'm hurt for just spotting the most dumbass mistake?
@@Mightypoo007you just don't get it
Seen this in Manchester, UK, a few days later on Monday 10th November, was amazing!
I've heard the recorded version many times, and love seeing it performed live.
There is no substitute for listening to the actual Ensemble.
Bach y Philip Glass son los que mejor expresan el sonido de todo el cosmos, el sentir profundo de la inigualable creación...
A huge responsibility with Glass at the keyboard....but wonderful as always
That is so great! The voice, especially at the end. Beautiful!
I miss the giant afro headbangs at each transition. :)
this melted my ears
This is the musical rappresentation of my life. I'm arrived at 4.00 min of my life, few seconds before the rebirth (I deeply hope).
I just love Philip Glass's music.
Genius performance by all involved.
Genius, indeed!
Absolutely. Genius is a balance work and usage of everything we could find in ourselves to achieve extraordinariness. This is seems like that team work, but in external.
Thank you TH-cam autoplay! Glass man, Glass...
I've listened to this many times before now, but somehow to see it performed live seems almost supernatural.
The repetition summons drone of industrial mass production. The resultant trance clears my mind and opens my inner ear. The music clears wax.
I appreciate the silence between notes and the notes in GLASS's compositions. That might sum his art. I hear the silence between notes as well as the notes played. MONK the pianist and OLATUNJI the drummer do likewise for my ear.
There should be a law made that when you are born into this crazy yet beautiful world this piece is played.
What a beautiful idea
watching in Cambridge tonight so cant wait!!!
Magnificent Magic this is Philip Glass. The best of the bests.
Mind blowing stuff. This is more than just music.
Love the vocal - just like I loved Meredith Monk.
Beyond magical, intelligent, human and musically perfect.. I must have an OCD because I watch this vid over and over again... it's so beautiful to me.
When I hear this I think something is about to happen it's use in the movie the church was sheer genus even my husky and tuxedo cats knew this masterpiece

By God, this is really trippy music. TFP!
This music... This music...
I really want to use this in a movie
It's used in a Italian horror film called "The Church". (It's here on YT).
Qué tipo de cabeza se necesita para hilar esto, uno solo. Genial Philip Glass!
Just wonderful.
Beyond awesome 👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!!
LOVE YOU Philip Glass, como diz Gerald Thomas!!! 😉😄
philip glass ♡
wow!!! toujours aimé Philip Glass
This is so beautiful it's hard to d'escrime where I go when I l'ustensile to Glass he is a genius
Love this...
the coughing with reverb lmao I cant
0:07 That cough I was on the floor !
so special.
Pure genius! Love "The Candyman" soundtrack...
YO BRO BEST FUCKING VIDEO I AM SO HAPPY< guys smoked weed and i listened to this bro its actually insane do it im so stoned rn bro wtf
This is the most intelligent piece of music ever written.
Lol
A legend
That must be damned difficult to perform. Impressive.
Do you have more footage? Please upload if you have.
Genius. The master.
People with large ears tend to live a very long life
This is fucking heavy metal!
La musica minimalista e' la mia musica. Purtroppo mi coinvolge troppo e allora mi viene da piangere dalla gioia. Per un uomo di 70 anni non so se e' decente ma e' così
Grande musica!
This song sounds like how it feels to get high.
The cough in the beginning lowkey added to it
Il y a une conférence sur ce monsieur a Tourcoing mais je ne pense pas qu'il sera présent. Ça serai trop beau et puis je ne parle pas anglais ça serai dur de parler musique..
can't believe its only 8 ppl, sounds like 1000
Philip Glass and Hans Zimmer, the best I've heard by far
Minimalism itself is a crazy concept. You remove all of the fluff and try to find a greater truth. Sometimes you succeed.
The soundtrack for Sherlock Holmes, by Hans Zimmer is absurdly underrated imo. That is masterfully crafted music, in many forms.
Love her earrings!
Am I… an orange?
Excellent
A un millimètres c'est du fantasque et on ne ressent presque pas le décalage qui donné tout son sens
Incredible!!!

Michele Soavi's THE CHURCH brought me here.
same here
Philip rules!
🔥
Glorious Glass✨
Maravilhoso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish she went up an octave.
Sublime!
damn... is Hans Zimmer take it as inspiration to movie Interstellar?
Everyone has taken Glass as inspiration.
Don't listen to this if you're high. I swear to god I thought I was ascending and almost shit myself.
Ha ha ha !!
on croirait Dieu créant l'Univers
important music
Pure magic.
What happened to the pacing? The piece doesn't "flow" nearly as well at this slow of a tempo (no pun intended).
Yes, the Dora Ohrenstein version was better by far.
jim jones Totally agree. Dora's was better by far. This is dead on arrival ;)
Eduardo González it takes an unbelievable amount of vocal dexterity and discipline to deliver a vocal like Dora's. You're not going to find a Dora on every continent. Cut her some slack, still great to see this given a live airing.
So true. This performance takes so much vocal dexterity and strength. Only the ignorant would criticize.
I read these comments and was ready to pounce on who those would dare to put down this performance. Then I listened to it... and Dora was WAY better. However, I saw PGE perform Music in 12 Parts with this same singer (I don't know her name) and she was amazing. So maybe this performance of Floe was just an off night... a very off night.
Meravigliosi
this isnt mine.
Great -
This song inflates me like no other.
Nice🎼🎶🎶🌹
