philip glass was born on january 31, 1937, in baltimore, maryland. his interest in music developed from an early age, thanks to the eclectic tastes of his father who owned a radio repair shop / record store. glass heard everything from the extremely popular elvis presley records to obscure composers such as foote and gottschalk. his father typically brought home the 78 rpm records that did not sell. the biggest impressions on glass during this period were made by schoenberg, anton webern, and berg .

american singer - songwriter tori sparks made the move from nashville, tn (us) to barcelona. her fifth album el mar (glass mountain records, 2014) was a collaboration with flamenco fusion trio calamento. the album began as a curious experiment after a chance meeting at a benefit concert. over months of rehearsals in a basement in barcelona, a strange and beautiful synthesis sprang from the mix of tori' s blues, rock, and folk sensibilities with the spanish musicians' atypical take on flamenco and jazz fusion .

having renounced his previous works and the then - academic fascination with twelve - tone music and atonality, glass formed the philip glass ensemble in 1968 to begin performing his new style of reductive and tonal music. glass incorporated electronic organs and synthesizers because of the portability of the instruments, amplified sound, intense volume, and steady, rhythmic drive of the ensemble, which gave his music instantaneous appeal with young rock audiences of the day. driving a taxicab by day and performing to small, but dedicated soho club, gallery, and loft audiences by night, glass was an underground sensation throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s .

while in paris in the early 1960s glass became associated with an experimental theater collective for which he was resident musician. soon the group found that there was not a large enough audience in paris to support american experimental theater. most of the group left paris in 1967 to settle in new york where it has become well established as the mabou mines. glass has written over a dozen scores for the group .

lessons with this famous teacher had less of an impact on glass than did his exposure to non - western music. in some respects, glass notes, it was as if he had discarded everything she taught him. it was while in paris that he began his long association with mabou mines, an experimental theatre company for which he composed music. outside the theatre, his music was ignored and even reviled. it was this

t he american composer philip glass continues to have a tremendous impact on contemporary music. his brand of music is often described, much to his chagrin, as minimalism. glass' s music and his approach to creating it are thoroughly modern, even revolutionary, making him one of the most provocative, commercially successful, and controversial composers of his generation .
glass' s music can be found not only at the opera where he reigns supreme as american' s most successful living composer, but at the ballet, on television, in symphony halls, films, jazz clubs, and even the occasional sports stadium ,

still, there continued to be detractors. writing in the new republic in 2000, john rockwell, editor of the arts and leisure section of the new york times, took glass to task for being tired and tedious, writing that his work
has declined in quality, and that decline can be described .
rockwell contends that since about 1984, glass lost faith or interest in compositional devices such as repetition and periodization, becoming
too restless, too willing to accommodate conventional taste .
he added that glass
now panders nervously to his audience in the fear they may be bored. and his pandering undercuts the radical hypnotic aura of his early music .

although glass has always credited boulanger for opening his ears and teaching him how to hear music from the inside out, it was his encounter with indian music while he was in paris that brought about a total transformation of his music. asked to transcribe film music written by indian music master and sitar player ravi shankar to western notation for french musicians to perform, glass became obsessed with indian notions of musical form and rhythm and began incorporating these ideas into his own pieces when he returned to new york .
based on the life of gandhi, the opera unfolds as a series of tableaux tracing his early life. the libretto is derived solely from the bhagavad gita and is sung in sanskrit. it is said to be one of glass' most lyric works .

glass told duckworth in a late 1990s interview .

historical records suggest that the story of the pied piper of hamelin was a real event that took place. nevertheless, the transmission of this story undoubtedly evolved and changed over the centuries, although to what extent is unknown, and the mystery of what really happened to those children has never been solved. the story also raises the question, if the pied piper of hamelin was based on reality, how much truth is there in other fairy tales that we were told as children ?
david schiff, writing in the atlantic monthly in 2001, observed glass is

the american composer philip glass (born 1937) had a tremendous impact on all contemporary music. his brand of music, called minimalism, merged eastern concepts of time with western musical elements, altering the perception of music. he has been one of the most provocative, visible, and controversial composers of his generation .
glass does indeed utilize repetitive cycles of rhythm, similar to hindu ragas, which change slowly over long periods of time and are said to produce a trance - like state in some listeners. certainly his work does fuse together the eastern musical concepts of space, time, and change with western musical elements such as diatonic harmony .
despite these achievements, glass increasingly felt that his compositional style, based on the 12 - tone and advanced rhythmic and harmonic forms popular at juilliard, was no longer a meaningful outlet for his creativity. in hopes of revitalizing his music, the composer left for paris in 1964 to study composition with nadia boulanger on a fulbright fellowship .

' s use of multitracked tape loops that would gradually go further and further out of phase as his music progressed is another pioneering use of minimalism. glass, however, achieved a level of success and attention with his distinctive and multimedia use of the style, which became something of a pop culture phenomenon, and which went on to influence a wide variety of musicians across musical boundaries .
here’s where i’m going to make us all uncomfortable. should we, the white craft beer majority, care that black people don’t partake in the culture we love? if craft beer is indeed “white people shit, ” and black people are cool with that, then what’s the harm, right? isn’t this all just a big, foamy glass of white guilt masquerading as a beer story ?
historical research is directed toward gathering information on a structure' s history, original construction and later modifications, occupancies, and uses over time. research may range from national repositories such as the library of congress to local collections or private family records. old newspapers, architectural journals and even manufacturing trade catalogs can be surprising sources of historical accounts and illustrations. this circa 1902 photograph of new york' s flatiron building is of the construction in progress; such photographs are useful in understanding building chronology as well as concealed conditions of as - built construction such as building framing. photo: library of congress, lc - d401 - 14278 .
philip glass was born in baltimore, maryland, on january 31, 1937. his youth was characterized by a number of remarkable successes. a precocious child, he advanced quickly as a scholar and student of the flute and entered the university of chicago at the age of 14. after receiving a bachelor of arts in 1956, he entered the juilliard school of music in new york city in 1958 and pursued composition studies with william bergsma and vincent persichetti. by 1965 glass had composed over 100 works, 40 of which had been published. he was the recipient of numerous awards, including a broadcast music industry award (1960), the lado prize (1961), two benjamin awards (1961, 1962), a ford foundation grant (1962), and a young composers' award (1964) .
, on july 25, 1976 and was a sellout when performed in new york at the metropolitan opera. more a series of
events
than an opera, this full - length stage work explores through dance and movement the same concepts of time and change that glass investigated through music. several characters appear as einstein, one playing repetitive motifs on a violin; a chorus intones repetitive series of numbers and clich
glass controlled his music from its creation, including securing the copyright for it, then allowing only the ensemble to play and record it .
i felt that if i had a monopoly on the music, that as the music became known there would be more work for the ensemble ,

so for the next eleven years, the only people who played my music was the ensemble .
the supposed street where the children were last seen is today called bungelosenstrasse (street without drums), as no one is allowed to play music or dance there. incidentally, it is said that the rats were absent from earlier accounts, and only added to the story around the middle of the 16 th century. moreover, the stained glass window and other primary written sources do not speak of the plague of rats .

as barometers measure air pressure, they were also used for measuring altitude, or height above the ground, such as the height of a mountain, and they were often used to measure altitude aboard a hot air balloon. they were also used by miners in caves to determine the depth of a mine. by the late 1800' s, the barometer was as popular, and an equivalent in it' s time, as the computer is today. because competition for market share was fierce, the finest cabinet and clock makers, and inventors, devoted their talents to providing the best barometer to capture this market. we are now fortunate to be able to still appreciate and enjoy this fine craftsmanship today .
crib barns form another barn type significant in american agriculture. found throughout the south and southeast, crib barns are especially numerous in the appalachian and ozark mountain states of north carolina, virginia, kentucky, tennessee and arkansas. composed simply of one, two, four or sometimes six cribs that served as storage for fodder or pens for cattle or pigs, crib barns may or may not have a hayloft above. crib barns were typically built of unchinked logs, although they were sometimes covered with vertical wood siding. unaltered examples of early crib barns normally have roofs of undressed wood shingles. in time, shingle roofs were usually replaced with tin or asphalt. the rustic appearance of crib barns is one of their most striking features .
yet glass continued to explore seemingly cosmic ideas about how history, social consciousness, and music are all interwoven in works such as
galileo galilei
( 2002), and symphony no. 5: requiem, bardo and nirmana - kaya, which

a historic structure report provides documentary, graphic, and physical information about a property' s history and existing condition. broadly recognized as an effective part of preservation planning, a historic structure report also addresses management or owner goals for the use or re - use of the property. it provides a thoughtfully considered argument for selecting the most appropriate approach to treatment, prior to the commencement of work, and outlines a scope of recommended work. the report serves as an important guide for all changes made to a historic property during a project - repair, rehabilitation, or restoration - and can also provide information for maintenance procedures. finally, it records the findings of research and investigation, as well as the processes of physical work, for future researchers .
glass works every day. this, he attributes to boulanger' s influence. he typically works from 6 a. m. until noon; afternoons are devoted to working in the studio. he tries to listen to new works one or two times a week, and sets aside one afternoon each week to speak to people. he also uses sampling to help speed the composition process and has said he is limited only by how much music he can write, which seems to still be prolific .
either way, it' s still going to be more expensive than you thought. twice as expensive according to our experts. that electrician might' ve quoted $ 1, 300, but then they had to come a second day and it turned into $ 2, 000. design elements like glass tabletops and light fixtures can easily cost thousands of dollars. just remember which expenses will positively affect your business financially. light fixtures that cost $ 18, 000 aren' t going to generate revenue .
minimalism, which was en vogue as a compositional style in the late 1960s, emphasized a simplification of the music rather than complex musical structures such as harmony, melody, modulation, and rhythm .
with minimalism, philip glass invented a new kind of music that attracted an enormous group of people who had never listened to classical music before and, in some cases, who still only listen to his form of it ,

america also began to take an interest in the barometer, with patents being recorded as early as 1845. one of the earliest records of interest in the barometer in america occurred on july 5, 1776, when thomas jefferson bought a barometer made in london, at sparhawk' s, a small antique shop in philadelphia, which he happened to be visiting. at first, jefferson used his new barometer for purposes of determine height above sea level. on september 15, 1776, jefferson found the height of the mercury to be 29. 44 inches at monticello, 30. 06 inches at the tobacco landing on the rivanna, and 29. 14 inches at the top of montalto. he used a table published in london in 1725 to translate these differences into heights, and concluded that montalto was 280 feet above monticello, and 792 feet above the rivanna .
