Spaceship fom EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH / Philip Glass

[emmarutha]

So if I were to become a horror filmmaker someday, I would chose this song to play when the girl in bed realizes there is a hostile man hovering above her. She would scream in sheer terror at :30 in this song.

I mean if I heard this song blasting in the wee hours of the night I honestly think I would crash outside from the window. And I live in a two-story house. It’s just that freaky to me.

I would love to see the sheet music to this. Looks hellish to conduct.

@Neptunewolf Check the description in the Einstein on the Beach documentary I uploaded for the full score to the opera.

too slow this music is supposed to be heard at break neck speed however the ensemble sounds pretty good with each other just faster faster faster! ok? it needs to be twice as fast!

@nissutxam i agree that that's how it is supposed to be, but I personally like it at the slower speed, and if you do note, the original recording of Einstein on the Beach featured this movement at a slower speed throughout than the 1993 recording -- it was a lot faster.

Wowzer! I'm dancing and writhing in a glorious state of terrible insanity.

Keep rocking it out Glass
