ABOUT THE COMPOSER AND PIECE:

Through his operas, his symphonies, his compositions for his own ensemble, and his wide-ranging collaborations with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Woody Allen to David Bowie, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact upon the musical and intellectual life of his times.

His collection "Aguas da Amazonia" has experienced multiple lives on different musical instruments. Glass’s "12 Pieces for Ballet," originally composed for piano, was arranged by Brazilian musical group Uakti for their own gamut of instruments, many of which were custom-made and built by the performers. This new version of the piece was renamed after the Amazon river and its tributaries. Drawing on both the Uakti arrangement and the original piano music, the members of Third Coast Percussion arranged a handful of these pieces as part of its multi-media project "Paddle to the Sea," utilizing mallet percussion instruments and other unique instrumental colors such as melodica, desk bells, and almglocken (tuned Swiss cowbells). This arrangement of "Xingu River" uses a variety of very specific tambourines, tuned bongos, and some unexpected mallet choices to create its particular sound world.
