Philip Glass
Philip Glass is an American composer closely associated with musical minimalism, known for repetitive motifs, steady pulse, and gradual transformation of simple musical cells into dense textures. His output spans operas, symphonies, chamber works, and film scores, and he is noted for extended, meditative structures and rhythmic drive that bring minimalist techniques into theatrical and cinematic contexts.
