Written in 1970 and originally self‑released in 1971 on his Chatham Square imprint, the work captures Glass blending Farfisa organs, woodwinds, electric violin and voices into a decisive turning point in minimalist composition. Performed by the original Philip Glass Ensemble, the recordings are now seeing a new light with this reissue courtesy of Superior Viaduct. - \u003cstrong\u003eFlying Out\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003ePhilip Glass\u003c\/b\u003e, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMusic With Changing Parts\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e  was the inaugural release on his own\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eChatham Square\u003c\/b\u003e imprint in 1971.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003eAt this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass’ first opera, was still five years away.
