John Adams - Harmonium
I can confidently say that “John Adams’ notation is what I thought it was.”
… That was a terrible joke for all the Football / Modern American Composer cross over fans out there.
On a more serious note, as a HUGE fan of John Adams work and this piece in particular, I highly encourage you to click here for some BRILLIANT material from a hero of American music.

Visualizing Classical Music as a Roller Coaster Ride
This ingenious promotional video for the Zurich Chamber Orchestra transforms the musical notes played by the first violinist in a symphony by Ferdinand Ries into a roller coaster track in real time. The video was created by the production studio Virtual Republic. On their Vimeo page, they explain, “The notes and bars were exactly synchronised with the progression in the animation so that the typical movements of a rollercoaster ride match the dramatic composition of the music.”
I needed this so badly right now.
Wheeeeeeee.
