This signed sheet music is for Music in Similar Motion by Philip Glass, autographed by the composer himself. Composed in 1969, Music in Similar Motion is one of Philip Glass’s earliest and most influential minimalist works. Scored for any combination of instruments, the piece is built on a repeating, steadily evolving pattern in which all parts move in the same rhythm—hence the title. Unlike Glass’s earlier additive process compositions, Music in Similar Motion marked a turning point by introducing harmonic shifts that created a sense of forward momentum. The work’s hypnotic textures, gradually shifting harmonies, and relentless pulse embody the essence of Glass’s style, making it a cornerstone in the development of minimalist music. Philip Glass (born 1937) is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential composers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Known for his pioneering role in the minimalist movement, Glass has composed operas, symphonies, concertos, chamber music, and numerous film scores, blending repetition, rhythmic drive, and gradual transformation into a distinctive musical language. His works—including Einstein on the Beach, Glassworks, and his many film scores—have influenced not only classical music but also pop, rock, and electronic genres. Music in Similar Motion remains one of his most enduring early works, frequently performed by ensembles exploring the roots of minimalism. Owning this signed sheet music for Music in Similar Motion is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of contemporary classical history tied to one of the defining works of early minimalism. For fans of Philip Glass, students of minimalist composition, and collectors of avant-garde music memorabilia, this artifact captures the innovation, beauty, and lasting impact of a composer who reshaped the modern musical landscape.
