Glassworks, written in 1981, was one of the first pieces by the American composer to achieve cult status. Written in a new 'romantic' style that was a departure from Glass's more hard-edged minimalist sound world, it is scored for flute, soprano and tenor saxophones, piano, synthesizer, horns and strings.
