The new empty Glass by Samuel Lipman (1872 words)
What was required of Philip Glass as composer on this occasion—and all the Pountneys in the world can do nothing to lift this burden from the composer’s shoulders—was the creation, or rather the re-creation, of the Columbus myth for our time.
Glass, in placing his hero in the context of a general human instinct to explore the unknown, attempted to ignore Columbus as a hero, as a man, and as an operatic character.
Glass, because he links a lack of ability to write interesting pure music with a lack of ability to delineate character through music, simply is not fitted to the enormous task he has chosen, and which has been pressed on him with such alacrity by our culture-starved world.
Is Glass Half Empty? (670 words)
And here Glass is again, taking the stage at bam for one more night this season, on January 16, in a concert marking the release of an expanded Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack, which the Philip Glass Ensemble will play live with Godfrey Reggio's documentary.
Glass is home for only a couple of days between international concerts, a common state of affairs for the peripatetic composer.
Glass started Dunvagen in the sixties, and through it he maintains exclusive control over who performs his music, where, and with whom.
