Entry: The Death of Music by the Spirit of Government Subsidies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_death_of_music_from_the_spirit_of_government_subsidies#15408 Post contents: Thanks, Irene. Now I have more to say, as if everyone isn't tired of it already. Many years ago, I hated Philip Glass. I thought he was nothing more than a crackpot who established a gimmick and a following. After seeing <i>Koyaanisqatsi</i>, I conceded that his music had its input into the ideas behind the film. I now own numerous works by Glass, and I defy anyone to state that his soundtrack to <i>Notes on a Scandal</i> was anything other than pitch-perfect for the mood and manner of the film. Therefore, in reference once again to the premiere of <i>The Rite of Spring</i> in 1913 Paris: is there anyone now living who thinks that this masterpiece would receive anything other than a warm and delighted welcome in the City of Lights?
