Minimalist music is an originally American genre of experimental or Downtown music based mostly on consonant harmony, steady pulse or drones, stasis and slow transformation, and often reiteration of musical phrases or smaller units such as figures, motifs, and cells. It is simple, catchy music that uses sustained chords and few musical phrases repeated in different ways.
Movement in abstract art and music towards extremely simplified composition. Minimal art developed in the USA in the 1950s in reaction to abstract expressionism, rejecting its emotive approach in favour of impersonality and elemental, usually geometric, shapes. It has found its fullest expression in sculpture, notably in the work of Carl Andre, who employs industrial materials in modular compositions. In music, from the 1960s and 1970s, it manifested itself in large-scale statements, usually tonal or even diatonic, and highly repetitive, based on a few 'minimal' musical ideas. Major minimalist composers are Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Minimalism inspired a wealth of writing on art theory, in particular popular aesthetics, and extended its influence into poetry and dance.

Music that uses a small number of instruments and a small range of musical 'colours'. I believe it came about in reaction to some composers who liked to write for very large orchestras.

What type of music does Philip Glass write?
The style most associate with Philip Glass is minimalism. He is considered to be one of the big names in the school of minimalism, alongside Terry Riley, Steve Reich and others. He has not, however, confined himself to the style, and has worked in Indian music alongside Ravi Shankar and has worked in the film music industry. To get an idea of his style, I recommend listening to Glassworks, Akhnaten or Koyaanisquatsi. Any of his symphonic or concerto works are also excellent.
