Notes
Writings on Glass highlights the life and the career of America's best-known classical composer, Philip Glass. Well-know as a champion of minimalism, Glass's operas (Einstein on the Beach; Satyagraha), film scores (Koyaanisqatsi; The Thin Blue Line), and symphonic and popular works have made him a dominant figure on the American musical landscape. This book traces the development of Glass's varied work through in-depth interviews, along with critical writings by leading musicologists.
The book opens with "Metamorphosis", a section describing Glass's life and career in detail, with an introductory essay by Tim Page followed by an extensive interview conducted with Glass on his early musical development. Part II of the book focuses on Glass's instrumental work, including his well-know chamber work Music in 12 Parts, and his life as a touring composer/musician. Part III focuses on his multimedia/theatrical works, including his 1990 collaboration with Allen Ginsberg on Hydrogen Jukebox. The book concludes with a bibliography, complete list of Glass's works, and discography for building a record collection.
Compiled with the participation of Philip Glass, and drawing on his extensive archives, this book promises to become a standard for lovers of contemporary music, as well as an important reference for professional musicologists and music libraries. .
