Biography lovers will be inspired by the story of a  precocious Baltimore boy, the son of a music-shop owner, who entered  college at age fifteen, before traveling to Paris to study under the  legendary Nadia Boulanger  Glass devotees will be fascinated by the  stories behind Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha, among so many other works. Whether  recalling his experiences working at Bethlehem Steel, traveling in  India, driving a cab in 1970s New York, or his professional  collaborations with the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Ravi Shankar, Robert  Wilson, Doris Lessing, and Martin Scorsese, Words Without Music affirms the power of music to change the world.\r\n\r\n   Martin Scorsese on Words Without Music:'I  came to Philip Glass's music very simply, without any critical prodding  or guidance. I listened and I was transfixed. The music was dynamic and  colorful and mysterious all at once, and it put me in mind of the Zen  exercise of sitting before a blank wall and contemplating the question,  \"What is this?\" It's music that seems to go beyond music.\r\n\r\n It doesn't  just stay with you, it infuses and energizes and haunts you, and carries  a sense of being alive, a perception of existence itself, the rhythm of  living this life. Philip's music has come to mean more and more to me  as the years have gone by.   I was excited to work with Philip on Kundun,  and he exceeded my wildest expectations by giving us a score that was  genuinely transcendent.\r\n\r\n He's exceeded my expectations again with this  rich and beautifully written memoir. Who knew that he was as good a  writer as he is a composer?'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
