“MODULATIONS” CYCLE
Two ‘traditional’ American composers encounter two contemporary minimalists
The popular Adagio by Samuel Barber, a masterpiece of contemporary music, is presented in juxtaposition with the impressive Tirol Concerto for Piano by Philip Glass, while the tender, youthful Lullaby of George Gershwin is offered alongside a minimalist orchestral tour de force, the famous Shaker Loops by John Adams.
