Ravi Shankar w/ Philip Glass - Passages 1990

Ravi Shankar w/ Philip Glass — Passages 1990

Опубликовано: 22 февр. 2015 г.Passages is collaborative chamber music studio album co-composed by Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass, released in 1990 through Atlantic Records. The album's content is a hybrid of Hindustani classical music and Glass' distinct American minimal contemporary classical style. The album reached a peak position of number three on Billboard's Top World Music Albums chart.

00:00 «Offering» (Shankar)– 9:47
09:47 «Sadhanipa» (Glass) – 8:37
18:24 «Channels and Winds» (Glass) – 8:00
26:24 «Ragas in Minor Scale» (Glass) – 7:37
34:01 «Meetings Along the Edge» (Shankar) – 8:11
42:12 «Prashanti» (Shankar) – 13:40


«Offering», the album's opening track, begins with a slow introduction before the saxophone establishes the Shankar raga melody. Two additional saxophones join, followed by an extended middle section at a faster tempo, all before returning to the starting theme. The title of the second track, «Sadhanipa», is derived from the solfège notes (swara) «Sa Dha Ni Pa» from the Indian octave (saptak) based on the first four tones of Glass' melody, «Do La Ti So» (D-B-C-A).

Allmusic's Jim Brenholts awarded the album four of five stars, calling the music «brilliant». Benholts wrote that Shankar's «smooth» style and Glass' dissonant orchestrations mixed well, and recommended Passages to fans of other minimalist composers such as John Cage, Steve Reich and Terry Riley.

_________________________________________________

Over the last fifteen years, Philip Glass has defined a new form of biographical opera. There was never any doubt that he would be the ideal composer for Mishima, a mosaic film biography. I wanted a score which would unite the film's disparate elements and propel it forward. Such a score, by definition, would be a distinct, cohesive composition.

I only wondered how to induce Glass. Money was out of the question: the film was already an egregiously under-budgeted labor of love production. I opted for a soft sell. (I've subsequently learned how remarkably resistant Philip is to a hard one.) I simply gave him the script and all the materials by and about Mishima at my disposal.

Philip responded enthusiastically and after several pre-production meetings and a trip to the Tokyo locations, wrote a score from the script as he would from a libretto. With Kurt Munkacsi and Michael Riesman he recorded a temp synthesizer version.

I edited the film to this temp score, altering it as necessary: cutting, expanding and repeating cues. I then played the edited film and score for Philip. He rewrote the music to fit the film's now-precise specifications and recorded it with a full orchestra. Later, he supervised last-minute changes during the final mix.

In keeping with the original concept, Glass has re-edited the score as a distinct musical entity. His Mishima equally serves the film and stands alone.

— Paul Schrader
