Philip Glass/James Strauss: Venezuelan Elegy

Born from a meeting that happened between Philip Glass and flutist James Strauss in 2011, 'Venezuelan Elegy' is a celebration of music, of collaboration, and the triumph of the artistic spirit while the tragedy of world events as they unfold around artists creating it. When meeting Strauss in 2011, Glass encouraged him to arrange his music for flute and chamber orchestra. Despite being a flutist by training, and playing flute himself until the age of 30, Glass has not written extensively for 'his' instrument. For Strauss, this has always been a frustrating situation since he wanted to perform Glass's music with orchestras. So Strauss set about arranging Glass's music for flute an ensemble including two major works: a large suite from Glass's opera Orphée, Glass's 'Violin Concerto No. 1', as well as selections from 'Metamorphosis', 'The Hours', and 'Glassworks'.
