Omri Shimron – Metamorphosis

Omri Shimron explores the idea of transformation through works by J. S. Bach, Philip Glass, Franz Schubert, and Menachem Weisenberg. Musical ideas, like actors in a good play, go through a process of change throughout the course of a composition, yet they retain some of their original identity. In Philip Glass’s Metamorphosis One, a haunting yet simple chord progression reinvents itself through figuration and varied repetition.
