Philip Glass - Evening Song Act III Pt. 3 (Satyagraha)

[hurl]

How a simple, repeated scale can give me goosebumps every time, I'll never know.

1. I love Philip Glass

I think that album cover is from the NYC Opera production in the mid or late '80s if my memory isn't deceiving me. I just missed being in that production.

2. Ok, I would like to hear about that!

I discovered Philip Glass when I saw the movie Satyagraha, way back.

3. I was a performer..

While finishing my degree at Yale I took on several contracts with NYC Opera. I remember other singers talking about this production and that it had just finished up. So... I just missed it. I always wondered if I had been there a few months earlier if I would have had a part in it. I never did perform a Glass composition during my career. That's as close as I ever got, but I've always been a fan. I did meet him once after some show in London.

4. That's very cool, though I'm sorry for your near miss!

I still remember hearing Satyagraha (at the movie) and my world was rocked!

5. You should take a listen to his violin concerto sometime.

It's strangely moody and transcendant. I get kind of caught up in it.
