Facades
Philip Glass
About this work:
(Published by: Dunvagen Music Publishers)
Facades was written in 1981, originally to accompany a scene in the film Koyaanishqatsi, which was eventually cut from the film. The title refers to the facades of buildings in the Wall Street area of New York City. Eventually the music found its way onto the CBS Glassworks record, retaining its original text.
