The Voyage

Philip Glass

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the brass section in the Prologue, signaling a grand departure.
The twenty-nine minute immersion of Act II, Scene 2, where the repetition creates a trance-like suspension of time.
Choral voices rising in a massive, unified swell during the final movement of Act III.
