More Details on Glass - Another Look at Harmony: Part IV
"'Another Look at
Harmony' is a project started in 1975. The approach has been to link
directly rhythmic and harmonic structure. In doing so, easily audible
root movement (chords or "changes") was chosen in order that the
clarity of their relationship could easily be heard. Here, as in
earlier periods of Western music, melodic material is, for the most
part, a function or result of the harmony. However, it is clear that
some of the priorities of Western music (harmony/melody first, then
rhythm) have been reversed." - Philip Glass
