John Adams: Common Tones in Simple Time (1979)
San Francisco Symphony conducted by / Sinfónica de San Francisco dirigida por Edo de Waart.
John Coolidge Adams (b. 1947) is one of the main composers in America today. Heavy influenced by Steve Reich’s minimalism, he eventually developed a neoromantic vein that keeps its initial minimalistic appeal. One of the very first works Adams composed for orchestra is Common Tones in Simple Time which is quite descriptive of the musical actions.
