Music in Twelve Parts is a set of twelve pieces written between 1971 and 1974 by the composer Philip Glass. This work cycle was originally scored for ten instruments, played by five musicians: three electric organs, two flutes, four saxophones (two soprano, one alto, one tenor) and one female voice. Only the organ can be heard throughout; the other instruments are not playing simultaneously the whole time. Only one piece was originally written, which was called "Music in Twelve Parts" because it was originally intended to have twelve lines of counterpoint harmony, but when Glass played it to a friend, she asked him what the other eleven parts would be like. He found the misunderstanding interesting, and wrote another eleven parts over a period of three years. The entire set can be over thr

  • Música en Doce Partes (en inglés, «Music in Twelve Parts») es un conjunto de doce piezas compuestas entre 1971 y 1974 por el compositor estadounidense Philip Glass.​ Este ciclo de obras fue compuesto originalmente para diez instrumentos, ejecutados por cinco músicos, de esta forma: tres órganos eléctricos, dos flautas, cuatro saxofones (dos soprano, un alto, un tenor) y una voz femenina. De estos, el órgano es el único instrumento que se escucha durante toda la obra; los otros instrumentos no participan simultáneamente todo el tiempo. Originalmente Glass solo compuso una pieza que se llamó «Música en Doce Partes» ya que la intención original era que tuviera doce líneas armónicas en contrapunto. Sin embargo, cuando Glass la interpretó para un amigo suyo, éste le preguntó cómo serían las otras once partes. Glass encontró interesante este malentendido y escribió otras once partes a lo largo de tres años.​ La ejecución de la obra completa puede durar unas tres horas. En sus obras, Glass utiliza estructuras repetitivas a menudo asociadas con el minimalismo musical.​ A pesar de ello, sus piezas demuestran una alta variedad e invención. Su música se desarrolla lentamente, y existen periodos en los que una escucha casual no revela ningún cambio. Sin embargo, si se escucha con detenimiento, ya que los patrones cambian de forma casi continuamente, aunque imperceptible. Por ello, estas piezas representan un reto para el escucha, pero aun así disfrutan de un nivel significativo de popularidad y a menudo citado se les cita como una obra importante de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.​ Andrew Porter escribió para la revista The New Yorker (1978) acerca de las transiciones de una pieza a la siguiente:​​ A new sound and a new chord suddenly break in, with an effect as if one wall of a room has suddenly disappeared, to reveal a completely new view. Un nuevo sonido y un nuevo acorde irrumpieron súbitamente, y su effecto fue como si el muro de una habitación desapareciera de repente para revelar algo completamente nuevo. Andrew Porter La obra ha sido grabada tres veces: la primera para , para Nonesuch en 1993, y para en 2006. El 1 de mayo de 2017, la obra fue interpretada en el Barbican Centre en Londres, Inglaterra, Reino Unido, a cargo de un grupo de los músicos reunidos y dirigidos por el tecladista . Este evento fue la primera ocasión en la que la obra fue interpretada en vivo por un conjunto que no fuera el Ensamble Philip Glass.​ (es)

He found the misunderstanding interesting, and wrote another eleven parts over a period of three years. The entire set can be over three hours long when performed. In these works, Glass uses repetitive structures often associated with musical minimalism. Despite this, many of the works display a great deal of variety and invention. The music develops slowly, and there are long periods during which a casual listener would not notice any change. If one listens closely, however, this is seen to be an illusion, since patterns actually change form almost continuously, though nearly imperceptibly. The pieces are therefore challenging to the listener, but they have still enjoyed a significant level of popularity and are often cited as a major work of the second half of the 20th century. The works show a great emphasis on development and slow alteration, with different pieces using different techniques for development. Andrew Porter for The New Yorker magazine (1978) wrote of the transitions from one track to the next: A new sound and a new chord suddenly break in, with an effect as if one wall of a room has suddenly disappeared, to reveal a completely new view. The work has been recorded three times: first for Virgin (1974 (vinyl) 1990 (complete recording on CD, completed 1988)), later for Nonesuch in 1993, and for in 2007. On Monday 1 May 2017, the work was performed at the Barbican Hall in London, England, UK, by a group of musicians assembled and led by keyboard player James McVinnie, the first time the work had been performed live other than by the Philip Glass Ensemble.

  • Music in Twelve Parts è una serie di motivi, dodici in totale, del compositore contemporaneo Philip Glass. L'intera serie può durare più di tre ore quando eseguita e fu scritta tra il 1971 e il 1974. Questi lavori utilizzano lo stile di Glass di strutture ripetitive spesso associate al minimalismo musicale. Nonostante ciò, la maggior parte dei lavori mostrano una gran quantità di assortimenti e invenzioni.Seppur molte persone che ascoltano tali pezzi potrebbero considerare le strutture ripetitive noiose o anche esasperatamente irritanti, questi motivi hanno goduto di un significante livello di popolarità e sono spesso citati come uno dei maggiori lavori della seconda metà del XX secolo. I lavori mostrano una grande enfasi nello sviluppo e nella lenta variazione, con diversi pezzi che utilizzano differenti tecniche di sviluppo.
