Free Music Notes for Philip Glass - Monsters of Grace
Free Music Review: Not my favorite
Hit: 2 Stars
I'm a fan of Philip Glass and have several different pieces of his that I enjoy. I bought the MP3 album based on the good reviews here and listening to the samples available online. I was hoping for something similar to Songs From Liquid Days, but this is a much sparser arrangement. There aren't the same sound textures as in his other work. The object, I guess, is to present these poems, but since they aren't really lyrics, it is more like they are spoken in a singer's voice, kind of like a cantor in a church sing-speaking psalms. And the music then takes a back seat to the poetry. So this is the least favorite piece of Philip Glass I have and, after six months of owning it, not one I ever listen to.
I'm not going to say it is bad or that other reviewers are wrong, but I am giving it two stars simply because I do not care for it.
