| Post subject: | Philip Glass at the Lied Center |
Philip Glass (one of my favorite composers) will be at the Lied Center on April 7th at 7:30. His work is very methodical so he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I’m a big fan. My admiration of his work began while watching Kundun. His musical compositions for the soundtrack blew me away, especially the last minute of the film. He recreated the visual imagery with music in such a masterful way. If you skip to 7 min. and 40 sec into the video below you may see what I mean. You have the expansive sky, representing hopes and dreams, portrayed by the flutes pitching, bouncing and floating then the dark thuds of the drums pulling you back down to earth, the mountains, and hard cold reality. From that moment I was a fan of Philip Glass. Kundun Ending.- Skip forward to 7:40 |

I would love to go see him, but have a conflict that evening. Our daughter's college choir recently performed Three Songs for Choir acapella. Lovely. Truman Sleeps is hauntingly beautiful. |
