Description:

Music from Minimalist composers like Philip Glass, Terry Riley, Steve reich and others. According to Richard E. Rodda, Minimalist music is based upon the repetition of slowly changing common chords (chords that are diatonic to more than one key, or else triads, either just major, or major and minor—see: common tone) in steady rhythms, often overlaid with a lyrical melody in long, arching phrases...It utilizes repetitive melodic patterns, consonant harmonies, motoric rhythms, and a deliberate striving for aural beauty.
