NC in C presents Terry Riley's "In C"
A massed ensemble of North Carolina musicians performs Terry Riley's 1964 minimalist landmark In C — a one-off communal trance.
In C, written by Terry Riley in 1964, is one of the foundational works of American minimalism. The score consists of 53 short melodic figures, played in order, with each performer deciding how many times to repeat a figure before moving on; a steady pulse on the note C holds the ensemble together. It can be played by any number of musicians on any combination of instruments, so no two performances are alike, and the piece slowly shifts through phases of density and thinning as players drift apart and re-converge. NC in C assembles North Carolina musicians to perform it.
