Program note:
Although Philip Glass is one of the most influential composers of our time, his music is often controversially described as “minimalist,” a term that turns off many would-be audience members. Glass himself is wary of genre, and his prolific output runs the gamut from silence to opera and symphony. Born in Baltimore, the composer’s early musical influences came in the form of unsold records from his father’s store – Hindemith, Schoenberg, and other modern composers. He studied at Peabody, the University of Chicago, Juilliard, and Aspen, after which he moved to France to work with the legendary Nadia Boulanger. He often draws on modern technology and its accompanying din, Indian and eastern music and philosophy, and the visual arts for musical material. His serendipitous meeting and collaborations with Indian music legend Ravi Shankar influenced Glass’ compositional aesthetic profoundly and eternally.
With origins in the New York City avant-garde scene of lofts and galleries, Glass has since had a meteoric rise, composing numerous symphonies (10), operas (27), and feature-length film scores (53). From this vantage point, it is significant that one of his most popular and omnipresent works (in numerous advertisements) is his music for the film Mishima.
The process of making the score to String Quartet No. 3 Mishima was an unorthodox one. Kevin Jackson notes: “Glass began by composing a complete independent score, consulting drafts of the script but not seeing any of the rushes, and then handed it over to the director. Schrader played around with this primary score, extending or shortening some parts, repeating others, and cut the film to these musical extracts. Glass was then presented with this edited version, which he could recompose, taking into account the film’s narrative needs.”
