Notes

The Olympics embody the spirit of man's and woman's optimum achievements, a coalition of body, mind and spirit welded into a moment of time. Capturing these reflections in another medium - music - was our goal, and so we sought for this musical event - a rainbow of talent eloquently expressing inspirational and creative energies in a language crossing all boundaries, uniting the very best elements of mankind.

Peter Guber and Jon Peters.

I can think of no event to compare with the Olympic games which makes us so conscious of our shared humanity, our common fate. The torch lighting ceremony strikes me as the essential symbol, the summing up, of this, our shared consciousness. Surely it is a rare event in the life of any artist when he is asked to make a personal contribution to such a public event. It has made this for me a uniquely challenging and inspiring experience.

- Philip Glass.
