Bizarre Note. No. 157
Who knew that Philip Glass composed a score called "la jeune fille et les loups" (the maiden and the wolves) for a French film that came out by a composer called Armand Amar. You will hear some electronic stuff then a clear sampling of Glass "Company" for string orchestra. I've heard of composers borrowing ideas, but never just sampling a recording then calling it their own...weird.Download armand_amar_01_ouverture.mp3
