Joep Franssens is a Dutch composer. He studied piano in Groningen, and composition in the Hague and Rotterdam with Louis Andriessen and Klaas de Vries respectively. He is representative of the post-serial generation of Dutch composers who use tonal means and an accessible idiom without neo-Romantic features, even if the pathos-laden, highly emotional nature of his music appears to contradict this endeavour. In his works, which consist of chamber music and choral and orchestral works, Franssens aims at a synthesis of monumentality and euphony and is initially guided by J.S. Bach and the Ligeti of Lontano and Atmosphères. Later a trend towards radical austerity becomes apparent under the influence of American minimalist music, East European mysticism (e.g. Pärt) and the symphonic pop music of the 1970s, culminating in the static diatonicism of the ensemble work Dwaallicht (1989) and the serene counterpoint of Sanctus for orchestra (1996, rev. 1999). The instrumentation increasingly shows a preference for warm, luxuriant colours.
Philip Glass is generally viewed as America’s most popular composer nowadays. His output consist on various works pertaining to minimalism, more than a dozen operas, eleven symphonies, several concertos, oratorios, film scores and minor orchestral works. His Second Symphony is his first purely abstract piece in the field. It deals with polytonality and rhythm patterns.
Philip Glass es considerado el compositor más popular de EUA de hoy en día. Su obra consiste en varias piezas minimalistas, más de una docena de óperas, once sinfonías, varios conciertos, oratorios, música para películas y obras orquestales menores. Su Segunda Sinfonía fue en realidad su primera obra abstracta en la materia, tratando con la politonalidad y los patrones rítmicos.
