Glass beat ya to it...

Sort of, via his alternate opera/soundtrack to Cocteau's Beauty & The Beast. Now THERE's a movie.

LOL, ain't it a stitch...thirty - forty years on these composers still provoke fear and/or loathing in the general music lover's breat.

The Dracula to a Glass quartet could be fun, actually, although Freaks is my all-time fave Browning film.

To be perfectly honest, I haven't been in love with much by Glass since his violin concerto but, oddly enough, I think he's a brilliant and effective film composer. Cage has acquired "grand old man" status now - isn't it amusing? I first became familiar with him through his pieces for choreographer/partner Merce Cunningham. Have you seen Meredith perform her pieces? Not to be missed, although I don't know if she does it anymore. I saw her back in the 70s and early 80s. Lou Harrison and Curran? Are you a New Yorker?

BTW, the Philip Glass Appreciation Society on -line fan club is headquartered just down the road from me in Carmel, IN. Really.

Seriously, if you can concenrtate on NY downtown minimalism & other musical iconoclasts try some horror/scifi with "redeeming" qualities: Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men etc.
