"Minimalism"
This year's show is comprised of 3 minimalist songs. The opener is Short Ride in a Fast Machine by John Adams. The ballad is Layers from Richard L. Saucedo's Minimally Speaking. The show will close with The Canyon by Philip Glass. "Minimalist" is a style of music that is characterized by extreme sparseness and simplicity. A small fragment of music is repeated over and over, with small changes over time, layered upon each other, until it becomes something quite different.1
