Philip Glass - Music in 12 parts

Music

Hard work.

Kurt and I attempted so see the entire piece last night at the Barbican. We managed the first half which was 1.5 hours and whilst being in awe of complexity and the sheer effort being used to manually repeat the same chord for 45 minutes without a break by half time we could face no more and left early; I feel less of a philistine to now know that it’s normally played out over 3 days.

I had a great time and also managed to fit in clearing the last things from our house before its sale and seeing Orient nail Port Vale 3:1 at Brisbane Road thanks to Karl. Shame about the Rugby and the F1.
