Glass: String Quartet No. 2

Composer: Philip Glass (1937-) Instrumentation: String Quartet (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, Cello) Work: String Quartet No. 2 ("Company") (1984) Binding: UPC: 884088488468 Size: 9.0 x 12.0 inches Pages: 24 Description The second string quartet by Philip Glass is a lyrical, almost romantic piece with strong prominant melodies and deceptively simplistic arrangement that reflects his pioneering minimal compositions. The piece began life as a score for Mabou Mines, the New York theater company that counted him as "unofficial" composer for almost three decades, and the name comes from the Samuel Beckett play Company.
