Title: One of His Best
Review: Philip Glass' "Symphony #5" is a rather ambitious choral symphony in 12 sections, with texts from most of the major religious traditions (Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Amerindian, etc.) It starts with Creation and winds up with Judgement Day.Musically, it's typical Glass de-dot-de-dot. He sets the texts at only one note per syllable, which does restrict his melodic possibilities (no melisma for that fellow!) At least his technique makes it easy for the listener to understand the words.The text, even more than the music, is the point of this composition. It flows very emotionally and movingly from beginning to end, and evokes the essential sympathy ("feeling together") of all people, whatever our cultural backgrounds and differences, as we face the ultimate questions of life and death together.
