Original

Philip Glass was approached by timpanist Jonathan Haas to write a timpani concerto for himself nearly ten years before Glass was finally able to get down to it. The timpani concerto ‘grew up’ into a double concerto for two timpanists and nine timpani in total, in three movements with a pair of cadenzas which are usually added onto the third movement. As is often the case with Glass’s music, this is a propulsive, noisy piece with some unusual performance instructions, e. at one point the timpanists set their sticks aside and play bare-handed. American composer Philip Glass is widely known as one of the most 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. ’ His 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, The Philip Glass Ensemble.

Compositor nord-americà Philip Glass és àmpliament conegut com un dels més cèlebres, influent i prolífic dels compositors moderns. Ell es refereix sovint com un minimalista, encara que ell prefereix cridar-se a si mateix un compositor de 'música amb estructures repetitives. 'Les seves òperes, entre ells el famós Einstein a la platja, es duen a terme a tot el món, i ha creat treball per a petites i grans conjunts, el cinema i el teatre experimental, i va fundar el seu propi grup executor, el Philip Glass Ensemble.
