Information on the composer and works
Philip Glass (born January 31, 1937 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American musician and composer. Along with Steve Reich, Terry Riley and La Monte Young, he is considered one of the most important pioneers of minimal music.
Glass's work includes numerous operas and musical theater works, twelve symphonies, eleven concertos, eight string quartets and various other chamber and film music compositions. Three of his film compositions were nominated for an Oscar.
Philip Glass grew up with music in a Jewish home: his father was a record dealer in Baltimore. The boy's first instrument was the violin, which he learned at the age of six, followed by the flute. At the age of eight he became a student at the Peabody Conservatory and by the age of ten he was already playing in local orchestras. From 1952 to 1956 he studied mathematics and philosophy at the University of Chicago and received a Bachelor of Arts. During this time he worked intensively on twelve-tone technique.
From 1959 to 1962 he studied piano at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, where he received a Master of Science (a classmate was Steve Reich, who studied composition there), and in Aspen with Darius Milhaud. In the meantime he had turned away from the music of Schönberg's successors and embraced moderate American modernism, such as that embodied by Aaron Copland. Further works were subsequently created in Pittsburgh; they were later declared insignificant by Glass. In 1964 he went to Europe, where, thanks to a Fulbright scholarship, he was able to study with Nadia Boulanger in Paris for two years, an encounter that had a decisive influence on him as a composer.
In Paris in 1965, Glass met the Indian composer and sitar player Ravi Shankar. Shankar recorded music there for the film Chappaqua and wanted his works to also be playable by musicians of Western tradition and training. Glass was chosen for the necessary transcriptions. This is how he came into contact with Indian music and thought traditions for the first time, especially with the Asian understanding of rhythm and time. The deeply impressed Glass took tabla lessons from Alla Rakha in 1967 through Shankar and traveled to India and other Asian countries, as well as the Middle East and Africa. He became a Buddhist. In 1972 he met Tendzin Gyatsho, the fourteenth Dalai Lama; Since this meeting, Glass has been considered an important supporter of Tibet's quest for freedom.
In 1965, Glass began composing for his first wife, JoAnne Akalaitis's acting ensemble. His first work was a composition for two saxophones for Samuel Beckett's piece Play. Over the next ten years, Glass repeatedly wrote such theater music, and then his own stage works. Glass describes himself primarily as a “theater composer”. In 1970, Glass set the artistic film work “Izy Boukir” by Nancy Graves to music, primarily using nature and animal sounds. After returning to the United States in 1970, Glass founded the Philip Glass Ensemble to perform his compositions since no orchestra was requesting him. He became his own promoter, booking concert halls and occasionally venues where contemporary music was not otherwise performed. His music of this period was played on traditional instruments, but was often electronically amplified and distorted. The most important work of these years is the four-hour-long composition Music in Twelve Parts, which Glass began in 1971 and repeatedly changed until 1974. This work began as a single work in orchestrations for twelve instruments, but then developed into a cycle that summarized Glass's musical development since 1967.
To make a living, Philip Glass founded the New York moving company Chelsea Light Moving with his colleague Steve Reich. He took part in the parades himself.
In 1976, Glass's most successful opera, Einstein on the Beach, the result of his first collaboration with Robert Wilson, premiered in Avignon. The triumphant premiere made the composer famous worldwide. After this opera, Glass composed a next work for the stage, Dance, which combines dance, film and music - another collaboration with the American choreographer Lucinda Childs, who had previously worked with him as a choreographer and dance soloist in Einstein on the Beach.
During this time, the composer was not yet financially secure due to his nascent success and also worked as a taxi driver, plumber, mover and waiter. The reason was also: Glass rented the Metropolitan Opera for the two New York performances of Einstein on the Beach. Although the performances were sold out, they left Glass about $90,000 in debt.
Another success followed in 1980: the Mahatma Gandhi opera Satyagraha, premiered by De Nederlandse Opera in Rotterdam under the direction of his compatriot and fellow student from the Juilliard School, Bruce Ferden. The next opera followed in 1983, Akhnaten about the Pharaoh Akhenaten, which had its premiere at the Stuttgart State Theater. These three operas form a trilogy about men who changed the world nonviolently.
Especially through his music for the film Koyaanisqatsi (1982), Glass's popularity increased outside the classical music community; he was now considered a composer of the New Age movement. The composer's other film music successes included a new score for the horror film classic Dracula, the music for the Martin Scorsese film Kundun (first Oscar nomination), the media satire The Truman Show (The Truman Show, won the Golden Globe) and for The Hours (second Oscar nomination). Glass is considered one of the most prolific contemporary composers: in the last 25 years he has composed more than twenty operas, ten symphonies, two piano concertos and concertos for violin and saxophone quartet. There are also film music, string quartets and music for solo piano. In 2007 he released the double album Book of Longing - A Song Cycle based on the Poetry and Images of Leonard Cohen.
“Taboos – things that should actually be forbidden – are often the most interesting. In my case, these are musical materials that can be found in everyday life. Above all, it was the encounter with Ravi Shankar and Indian music that led Glass to a hypnotic, repetitive style that critics attributed to minimal music, a music that is mostly based on simple chords and arpeggios, sometimes played by solo instruments, but can also be played by large orchestras in circular patterns. Glass mostly avoids atonality. Peter Sellars described the effect of this music: “With Phil it's a bit like a train ride across America: when you look out the window nothing seems to change for hours, but if you look closely you notice that it has The landscape has changed – slowly, almost imperceptibly.”[9]
Glass’s music has deeply penetrated the everyday world. Countless television series music, commercial music and commercial jingles imitate his style. He himself has remained open to popular media throughout his career. His collaboration with Robert Wilson, who is a pioneer of multimedia staging of musical works, is evidence of this, as is his frequent work as a film composer for mainstream films such as Candyman's Curse and The Truman Show. Literature, history and politics provide Glass with numerous inspiration for compositions: operas are about historical figures such as Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, Akhenaten, Christopher Columbus and deal with the political situation in Tibet; literary works by Edgar Allan Poe, Franz Kafka and J. M. Coetzee provide templates for compositions; Pieces of music are composed for representative public occasions such as the opening of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles; the music of David Bowie and Brian Eno is processed into two symphonies.
awards
Glass was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1994, the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 2003, and the American Philosophical Society in 2009. On December 2, 2009, an asteroid was named after him: (100417) Philipglass. In 2012, Glass received the Praemium Imperiale, considered the “Nobel Prize of the Arts,” from the Japanese Imperial Family. In 2015 he was awarded the Glenn Gould Prize. “The reason given was his far-reaching influence in various areas of artistic and intellectual life. In addition to operas, symphonies, ensemble works and film scores, he has also developed a variety of cross-genre art projects.” Glass received the Chicago Tribune Literary Award in 2016 for his autobiography Words Without Music, published in 2015. In 2018, Glass was honored with a Kennedy Prize and in 2022 he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award for Music.
