Masterworks Monday! American composer John Adams (1947 - ) is associated with the minimalist movement (like Philip Glass, who we posted about before). However, even though he does employ minimalist techniques such as repeated patterns, he does not consider himself as a strictly minimalist composer. His music also includes elements of romanticism. Short Ride in a Fast Machine (1986) is one of his most popular compositions. Note that this work was composed the same year as Tanzmusik by Glenn Buhr, that we shared with you on Friday! This is a great example of the richness of aesthetics coexisting in music in the 21st Century. youtube/watch?v=Pi4A9bPDvTc
