	PhilipGlass.com: Recordings: Itaipu / The Canyon
		Glass has written, "This is a portrait not only of the two men for whom the experiments are named but also of that historical moment heralding the beginning of the modern scientific period." The Light received its premiere at concerts of the Cleveland Orchestra in October 1987, Christoph von Dohnányi conducting.
		Itaipu was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and first performed on November 2, 1989, in Atlanta under the baton of Robert Shaw.
		Like The Light, Itaipu originated as Glass's response both to nature and to a modern technological wonder, in this case the massive hydro-electric dam, by far the world's largest, that was then taking shape at Itaipú on the Paraná River which forms the border between Brazil and Paraguay.

	Itaipu: A Binational Hydroelectric Power Plant, its Benefits and Regional Context
		Indeed, ITAIPU accounts for the fact that the population living near the reservoir receives an income that is in all respects comparable with, or even larger than, that which would otherwise be obtained from other economical developments of the flooded areas.
		Itaipu is located on the Paraná river, see Figure 2, in the stretch forming the frontier between Brazil and Paraguay, 14 km upstream from the international bridge which links the Brazilian city of Foz do Iguaçu to the Paraguayan city of Ciudad del Este.
		The impact of Itaipu’s workforce on the purchasing power in the nearby cities of Foz do Iguaçu and Ciudad del Este was considerable, and their skills and involvement in local society improved the living standards of the urban areas in the vicinity of the Project site.

		The piece "Itaipu" was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra through the generosity of an anonymous patron who specified that the work would be written by Philip Glass, for the ASO, to be conducted by Robert Shaw (a champion of American composers and one of the world's greatest choral conductors).
		Both the majesty of "Itaipu" and the starkness of the percussion-laden "Canyon" are beautifully captured on this recording by Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
		Itaipu, while a good movie soundtrack, makes for a better tribute to the South American waterfall it is about.

		The civil works of the Itaipú dam begin immediately and the tiny Paraguayan economy, with a General Budget of Expenses of USS 105,834,853 in 1973 (Law 383), receives a "rain of dollars" to such point that in 1983 the General Budget of Expenses already ascended to the respectable sum of 2,674,603,174 dollars (Law 962).
