Beschreibung:
Born in Baltimore in 1937, Philip Glass studied at the University of Chicago and the Juilliard School. The composer of operas, film scores, and symphonies, he performs regularly with the Philip Glass Ensemble and lives in New York.
Words Without Music is the long-awaited memoir by the most prolific and popular of all contemporary composers (The New York Times). Whether recalling his experiences working at Bethlehem Steel, travelling in India, driving a taxi in 1970s New York or his professional collaborations with the likes of Doris Lessing and Martin Scorsese, Philip Glass affirms the power of music to change the world.
Rapturous in its ability to depict the creative process, Words Without Music allows readers to experience that sublime moment of creative fusion when life merges with art. Biography lovers will be inspired by the story of a precocious boy, the son of a music shop owner, who entered college at fifteen before travelling to Paris to study under Nadia Boulanger. Glass devotees will be fascinated by the stories behind Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha among other works. Whether recalling his experiences working at Bethlehem Steel, travelling in India, driving a cab in 1970s New York or his professional collaborations with the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Doris Lessing and Martin Scorsese, Words Without Music affirms the power of music to change the world.
