NOTES:
Philip Glass's score for Kundun is the realization of a long-cherished dream.
For years, I had hoped to work with Glass, and in Kundun we found the ideal
subject for a special collaboration. His Buddhist faith and deep understanding
of Tibetan culture combine with the subtlety of his composition to play
an essential role in our movie on the life of the Dalai Lama. Philip Glass
is an artist of tremendous sensitivity whose music works from the inside
of the film, from its heart, to produce a powerful emotional intensity
which remains for days in the listener's head. The beauty, magic, grandeur,
and spirituality of the score allow us to feel the pulse of the story as
it unfolds. For me, the images in the film no longer stand on their own
without Philip Glass's music. I consider myself fortunate, indeed blessed,
to have worked with him on Kundun...
