There have been alot of requests from you guys about the sheet music. Unfortunately I don't have the rights to sell or share these with you.

Wikipedia:
Glassworks is a chamber music work of six movements by Philip Glass. Following his larger-scale concert and stage works, Glassworks was Philip Glass's successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented "Walkman-suitable" work, with considerably shorter and more accessible pieces written for the recording studio. In fact, the cover of the cassette release stated that it was "specially mixed for your personal cassette player".

Glassworks was intended to introduce my music to a more general audience than had been familiar with it up to then.

This clip made be break down into uncontrollable tears as it drew up emotions and childhoood memories with my father who is old and very frail, and at the same time making me reflect about my relationship with my son who is now entering adulthood and the prime of his life while I begin to feel the effects of my aging and decay as I approach my inevitable mortality. I love my dad. I love my son. I can't deal with the inevitability of life and the regrets about things in these relationships that I could have done better, or could do better

One of my favorite pieces ever. I tried for ages unsuccessfully to learn it on piano, couldn't imagine trying it on guitar and that's my primary instrument. There are guitarists here on YT doing this solo, which is mystifying and very impressive, but sounds far better and is truer to the original composition with a trio. Bravo!

[mbenrice]

Love this piece of music and they made it their own.

[ИгорьДымченко-кл]

ETALLONIC performance. Philip Glass is one of the Greatest Composer in history of MUSIC.

Nicely done. One of my favourite Glass pieces well performed with just the right amount of dynamic expression.

[jonathantosiocello]

This is such a beautiful performance and arrangement. Mange takk!

[psykodiffeqparty]

Beautifully done, thank you so much! This was a peaceful 5 1/2 minutes that was greatly appreciated.

[OdinLimaye]

Beautiful; the swells you place throughout the phases feel so natural and really make the peace breathe. And the subtle additions of vibrato as the register gets higher is just gorgeous.

[esalinasml]

Absolutely beautiful arrangement and performance!

[guitarserenade]

Enjoy so much when the arrangement sounds better then the original! Very Nice!

[brucekuehn]

Wow, great arrangement and well-played! I just listened to the same piece on piano (Vikingur Olafsson) and I’m a little surprised how well it works for guitar trio.

Thank you very much guys! Here’s a request/thought… “On The Nature of Daylight” by Max Richter. I guess you guys/gentlemen have heard Lavinia Meijier’s excellent harp versions of Phillip Glass’s works? Do don’t seem to have a website?
