Glass's obsessively repeating patterns, pulsating bass notes and uneasy chromatic shifts lend themselves effectively to this sense of entrapment, claustrophobia and calculated cruelty. But what makes 'In the Penal Colony' both a disturbing and, at times, a poignant work is the way in which Glass's musical language responds to subtle nuances in the tone and expression of the text while simultaneously driving the action forward.
