Post Description

Philip Glass (Baltimore, 31 januari 1937) is een Amerikaans componist. Zijn muziek valt onder Minimal music, hoewel hij zelf de term theatermuziek gebruikt.

Glassworks is a chamber music work of six movements by Philip Glass. It is regarded as being a characteristically Glass-like work. Following his larger-scale concert and stage works, Glassworks was Philip Glass's successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented "Walkman-suitable" work, with considerably shorter and more accessible pieces written for the recording studio. The studio album was released in 1982.

“Glassworks was intended to introduce my music to a more general audience than had been familiar with it up to then.”  - Philip Glass
