In his liner notes, Tim Page writes that he asked Donald Joyce to see if he thought there were "Wagnerian dimmensions in these scores." With this CD, Page concludes that Glass is reconciled "not only with Wagner but with an entire genre of compositions for the organ." Well…

To reach this arguable achievement, the music had to be moved from Farfisa portables to the Anton Heiller Memorial Organ (4861 pipes) at Southern College in Collegedale, TN. Which could be compared to playing Miles Davis solos on a tuba. What's going on here is an assault on the clarity of Glass' music. I'm not against that. If the intent - besides the Wagnerian/minimalist connection - is to hear this music differently, it succeeds. If the intent is also to entertain, it succeeds. I was more entertained by this "Contrary Motion" than I ever was by the original. The 24 minutes of "Dance II" danced by while I read a book. The transcription from "Satyagraha" had majesty. The effect of a pipe organ blurring, smoothing, & breathing makes these pieces into something new, perhaps more organic; probably not what Glass intended, but an experiment almost John Cageian in results. Glass might appreciate that. I wish Joyce had used more of the pipe organ's sound capacities. In fact, I might be even more delighted if he had performed these works on a restored vaudeville era Wurlitzer theater organ.
