The Glass Orchestra, founded in 1977, is the only ensemble in the world
whose musicians create and perform contemporary compositions entirely
with glass instruments. Drawing on a wide range of musical influences
and performance techniques, the musicians explore the unique sonic
properties of glass, creating an ethereal, percussive soundscape with a
vast array of glass instruments, both "found" and custom made. The skill
of the members of the Orchestra in designing and making glass
instruments has earned them a place in the New Grove Dictionary of
Musical Instruments.
The use of glass instrumentation outside the traditional framework
begins with the visionary American composer Harry Partch, who developed
sets of cloud-chamber bowls (1950), tuned liquor bottles, and light
bulbs struck with light mallets. Other American composers who have been
involved with glass sound resources include Frederick Rzewski (amplified
glass plate in the group "Musica Electronica Viva" in the 1960s);
Meredith Monk (wine glasses acoustically 'beating' with vocal
improvisations); Bill Fontana (large glass bottle acting as resonator
with a microphone suspended inside to eavesdrop) and Annea Lockwood
(concerts of live and tape-manipulated glass sounds since the mid
1960s). George Crumb also used tuned wine glasses in his string quartet
"Black Angels" to portray 'God music'.
The Glass Orchestra carries on this more exploratory tradition in the
history of glass music. Their contribution lies not so much in bringing
modern technology to bear on the problems of making, tuning, and playing
glass instruments, but rather in their intuitive understanding of the
fragile and complex frozen liquid material out of which they sculpt
sound pure and clear. Their respect for the uniqueness of glass
resonance and sonority, coupled with the fluid interplay of ideas and
gestures that is the earmark of good improvisers, has extended its
possibilities into an infinite sonic universe emanating from the
mysterious magic of glass. -Andrew Timar/John S. Kuipers
