Whether it has caused certain of Glasss works to be derivative in quality
Consider each of the three choices separately and select all that apply.
The passage suggests that Glasss work displays which of the following qualities?
A return to the use of popular music in classical compositions
An attempt to elevate rock music to an artistic status more closely approximating that of classical music
A long-standing tendency to incorporate elements from two apparently disparate musical styles
Select the sentence that distinguishes two ways of integrating rock and classical music.
Explanation
The passage describes in general terms how Philip Glass uses popular music in his classical compositions and explores how Glass can do this without being imitative. Note that there are no opposing views discussed; the author is simply presenting his or her views.
Question 1: One of the important points that the passage makes is that when Glass uses popular elements in his music, the result is very much his own creation . In other words, the music is far from being derivative. Thus one issue that the passage addresses is the one referred to in answer choice E it answers it in the negative. The passage does not discuss the impact of Glasss use of popular elements on listeners, on the commercial success of his music, on other composers or on Glasss reputation, so none of Choices A through D is correct. The correct answer is Choice E.
