"In MUSIC BY PHILIP GLASS, Glass tells in his own words of his growth from obscurity to world-wide fame. In revealing anecdotes, he portrays his great teacher Nadia Boulanger, working with Ravi Shankar to 'translate' his scores for Western musicians, and his beginning associations with the avant-garde theater of Mabou Mines, Ellen Stewart's LaMama and Robert Wilson. Here are the full stories of the enormous struggles to create and perform Glass's three operas, works the likes of which had never been seen before. Included are the full libretti and discussions of the music by the composer, with examples written in Glass's own hand."[]"For many listeners who've fallen under the way of Glass's music, this book is invaluable. But for even the casual listener, or those who are simply curious about new music, MUSIC BY PHILIP GLASS affords a fascinating glimpse behind the scenes at the life and works of one of today's most important musical figures."---John Schaefer.
