in all the talk of symphony orchestras I think you've missed something, something that I think comes out of Glass' long association with theater and dance. This week the Houston Ballet Orchestra is playing movements from both The Tirol Concerto and the Double Concerto. I can't remember the Houston Symphony ever playing Glass but the Houston Ballet has on a handful of occasions. So while the symphony orchestras may not be playing Glass, choreographers are bringing him in the back door!

Why Erfurt?
Glass Notes publishes an update every week on Mondays. Northridge, California - site of the West Coast premiere of Glass's Second Symphony in 2009 In Scott Hick's 2007 documentary "Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts" one of the questions put to Glass is why he was he premiering his ...

Glass Notes: No Man is An Island (Philip Glass and Collaboration)
Glass Notes publishes an update every week on Monday mornings. Starting this past spring, I started to toy with the idea of writing a book on Philip Glass. Perhaps it was in response to the excitement of his new book, Words without Music. Or perhaps it was because of what's not written in...
Thanks for the background on these releases. The Dublin String Quartet recording is fantastic! It brings a totally new dimension to the quartets. I've always wanted more guitar music from PG and this really hits the spot. I hope there are more adaptions in the works for this group.

How Now/Strung Out (Philip Glass' debut concert May 19, 1968) This was a very interesting release to me as a lot of archeology work went in to discovering what in fact was this recording that was foisted into my hand by Philip Glass about three years ago. Glass had told me that there was a w...
