Slagwerk Den Haag - Virtuous Body - Philip Glass & Anthony Fiumara [CD]

When Slagwerk Den Haag (The Hague Percussion) asked Anthony Fiumara to put together a concert program for Glass's 80th birthday in 2017, he was inspired by the rhythmic patterns, the long lines and the modality in Philip Glass's early music. He arranged some of Glass's works for this virtuoso percussion group, include Glass's Music in Similar Motion and Mad Rush. In the spirit of these early minimal works, Fuimara added his own works including Vitreous Body, as his percussive tribute to Philip Glass, as well as the tracks Chorale, Petals, and Remix.
