Unquestionably the founding work of minimalism in musical composition, Terry        Riley's In C (1964) challenges the standards of imagination, intellect, and musical        ingenuity to which "e;classical"e; music is held. Only one page of score in length, it        contains neither specified instrumentation nor parts. Its fifty-three motives are        compact, presented without any counterpoint or evident form. The composer gave only        spare instructions and no tempo. And he assigned the work a title that's laconic in        the extreme. At the same moment of its composition, Elliott Carter was working on        his Concerto for Piano, a work Stravinsky was to hail as a masterpiece. Having        almost completed Laborinthus II, Luciano Berio would soon start the Sinfonia.          Karlheinz Stockhausen had just finished Momente. In context of these other works,        and of the myriad of compositional styles and trends which preceded them, In C        stands the whole idea of musical "e;progress"e; on its head.Forty years later, In C        continues to receive regular performances every year by professionals, students, and        amateurs, and has had numerous recordings since its 1968 LP premiere. Welcoming        performers from a vast range of practices and traditions, from classical to rock to        jazz to non-Western, these recordings range from the Chinese Film Orchestra of        Shanghai -- on traditional Chinese instruments -- to the Hungarian 'European Music        Project' group, joined by two electronica DJs manipulating the Pulse. In C rouses        audiences while all the while projecting an inner serenity that suggests Cage's        definition of music's purpose -- "e;to sober and quiet the mind, thus making it        susceptible to divine influence."e;Setting the stage for a most intriguing journey        into the world of minimalism, Robert Carl's Terry Riley's In C argues that the work        holds its place in the canon because of the very challenges it presents to        "e;classical"e; music. He examines In C in the context of its era, its grounding in        aesthetic practices and assumptions, its process of composition, presentation,        recording, and dissemination. By examining the work's significance through        discussion with performers, composers, theorists, and critics, Robert Carl explores        how the work's emerging performance practice has influenced our very ideas of what        constitutes art music in the 21st century.
