"Orange Mountain Music is pleased to announce the release of the new album VITREOUS BODY which presents original music by Anthony Fiumara and re-imaginings by Fiumara of music by Philip Glass - performed by Slagwerk Den Haag (The Hague Percussion.) When Slagwerk Den Haag asked Fiumara to put together a concert program for Glass’s 80th birthday in 2017, Fiumara was inspired by the rhythmic patterns, the long lines and the modality in Philip Glass’ early music he went on to arrange some of Glass’s works for this virtuoso percussion group. The pieces Fiumara selected include Glass’s Music in Similar Motion and Mad Rush. In the spirit of these early minimal works, Fuimara added his own works including Vitreous Body, as his percussive tribute to Philip Glass as well as the tracks Chorale, Petals, and Remix."
