	Philip Glass
		At 19, Glass graduated from the University of Chicago and, determined to become a composer, moved to New York and the Julliard School.
		In Paris, Glass was hired by a filmmaker to transcribe the Indian music of Ravi Shankar in notation readable by French musicians, and in the process, discovered the techniques of Indian music.
		Glass promptly renounced his previous music and, after researching music in North Africa, India, and the Himalayas, returned to New York and began applying Eastern techniques to his own work.

	Sound Generator - Philip Glass Ensemble - Barbican
		Born in Baltimore on January 31st 1937 Philip Glass' music spans the worlds of grand opera, chamber music, dance and hybrid works that seem to fit into no particular category at all.
		This concert is a screening of the movie with Glass' 12-piece ensemble conducted by Michael Riesman (who also plays keyboard.) The fact that the music is live adds a tremendous edge to the emotional content of the film.
		Philip Glass' score provides the counterpart, performed with the sounds of native, classical and electronic instruments.

	classical music - andante - philip glass: music in 12 parts
		Glass wrote units of varying length which are to be repeated an indefinite number of times - an exaggerated nod of the head by Glass tells the ensemble to move to the next musical unit.
		Seeing Glass nod his head and hearing the group react makes the piece very clear: the subtle variations from unit to unit become more obvious, and it becomes something of a game to try to predict the (unpredictable) changes.
		This particular incarnation of the Glass Ensemble is a mature, powerful and ambitious one, rarely missing a note and never letting you see them sweat.

		Glass takes the theories of composition and uses them as his own personal playground; the thickness of it is unmatched.

	Philip Glass - Biography
		American composer Philip Glass returns to the Sony Classical label this Fall with the release of the original soundtrack recording of Naqoyqatsi, completing a trilogy of visionary films – beginning with Koyaanisqatsi (1983) and Powaqqatsi (1988) – on which the composer has collaborated with the American filmmaker Godfrey Reggio.
		Philip rapidly became familiar with Beethoven quartets, Schubert sonatas, Shostakovich symphonies and other music then considered “offbeat.” It was not until he was in his upper teens that Glass encountered more “standard” classics.
		Glass is currently touring Philip on Film, featuring new short films created specifically for this project as well as classics like Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, La Belle et La Bête and Dracula that Glass has invented for live performance with his ensemble.

	Philip on Film: Shorts
		And then Philip Glass and the Philip Glass Ensemble, all clad in fl, save the composer, in his usual off blue suit, strode in, and sat at their amplified instruments -- winds, percussion, and six fl keyboards.
		Glass' music, which is dominated by a 12-beat figure first heard in the keyboard's lower register, was powerfully ritualistic.
		Glass' music here is monumental, highly percussive -- guests Frank Cassara and Mick Rossi played a wide array of drums in unconventional ways -- and full of complex cross-rhythms.

	Philip Glass - Einstein on the Beach
		Glass, became aware of Wilson's stage work during an overnight performance of the twelve-hour Life and Times of Josef Stalin, presented at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1973.
		Glass defines rhythmic cycles as the simultaneous repetition of two or more different rhythmic patterns, which, depending on the length of the pattern, will eventually arrive together back at the starting points, making for one complete cycle.
		It is surely not one of the most radical works of Philip Glass, but surely one of his best-known, and it is the work, that made him and Robert Wilson, who was responsible for the whole non- musical part of this "opera", famous in the whole world of arts.

		Glassworks remains Philip Glass's bestseller from the middle period of his career, the recording by means of which many listeners familiarized themselves with his music.
		When his ensemble performs the second part, "Floe," in concert, he adds a female voice where, in the recording, the horns perform the Sibelian accompaniment of stately rising and falling crotchets.
		Throughout, Glass popularizes his earlier idiom of relative rhythmic and harmonic stasis by enriching the instrumentation as well as modulating quickly and even--as in the case of "Rubric"--at a vertiginous pace.

	Vail International Dance Festival \| Philip Glass

		In the introduction, Philip Glass mentions that most of the works represented is from a series of concerts where the music is interpreted live while the movie is presented on a screen behind the performers.
		Glass hasn't had a new idea since 1976, when his "Einstein on the Beach" was the freshest new sound imaginable.
		Both Nonesuch and Glass should be chastised for such a poor presentation, or lack thereof, of what is some of the most important contributions to film music in the late 20th century.

	Philip Glass Emsemble
		The notion of music performed live to accompany a film is as old as the movie business, though a handful of cutting-edge ensembles like Boston's Alloy Orchestra dedicate themselves to keeping it fresh.
		If the sonics the Ensemble produced didn't make the case, then certainly teaming their live performance with visuals that essayed the music's pulsing energy and life offered proof that minimalism needn't be academic.
		The event was also a reminder that Glass buffs have something to anticipate in his new recording of the Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack, which triggered this brief major-city tour.

		From the mid 1960's onwards, Glass has revolutionized a form of composition that has become known as 'minimalism' (although Glass himself denies being a composer of minimal music).
		The First, Third and Fifth movements were performed by members of Philip Glass's own ensemble consisting of various keyboards, wind instruments (notably saxophones and flutes) and female voice.
		Glass has composed so many rich compositions, it is difficult to determine what the absolute best is. With "Dance" however, I think it comes pretty close to being what it is..the best.

	Philip Glass - Music in Twelve Parts
		The Glass Ensemble, after a rather freewheeling initial phase during which composers and players would simply drop by and join in rehearsals and performances, had now been formalized and had begun to tour.
		Indeed, by the time of Music in Twelve Parts, the Glass Ensemble had solidified into an aggregate of two electronic keyboards (Farfisa organs in the early years), wind instruments and voice, amplified and fed through a mixer by Kurt Munkacsi, who was considered in every way a full member of the group.
		The first eight parts were taped by the Glass Ensemble in 1974 and 1975; this writer presented their radio premiere in 1978 on Columbia University's WKCR-FM.

	Glass' great concerto
		Philip Glass' "Naqoyqatsi" is a major event in American music, and the fact that the score was written for the movies only adds to the improbable splendor of the whole affair.
		There is much in Glass' "Naqoyqatsi," in fact, that recalls the salad days of discovering the musical universe made possible by the early Glass works.
		Philip Glass and his Philip Glass Ensemble are on hand to play live for an extraordinarily generous sampling of the American composer's collaborations with film directors.
