Miles Teller, Jamie Bell, Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan star in
this reimagined story of the team of Marvel's superheroes known as
the Fantastic Four. When four young, budding scientists are
teleported to an alternate universe by a government project that
hopes to learn more about our planet, they awaken realising that
their physical forms have changed beyond recognition. Reed Richards
(Teller) has gained the ability to stretch his body into
unthinkable forms and lengths and is renamed Mister Fantastic, Ben
Grimm (Bell) is changed into The Thing with a body of stone giving
him indestructible super-strength, Susan Storm (Mara) becomes the
Invisible Woman and is able to generate force-fields around
herself, and Johnny Storm (Jordan) becomes the Human Torch with the
ability to shoot fireballs from his body. Together, they must put
their new-found abilities to the test and work as a team to save
the Earth from the evil Dr. Doom (Toby Kebbell).
The long-awaited memoir by 'the most prolific and popular of all
contemporary composers' (New York Times) Rapturous in its ability
to depict the creative process, Words Without Music allows readers
to experience that sublime moment of creative fusion when life
merges with art. Biography lovers will be inspired by the story of
a precocious Baltimore boy, the son of a music-shop owner, who
entered college at age fifteen, before traveling to Paris to study
under the legendary Nadia Boulanger; Glass devotees will be
fascinated by the stories behind Einstein on the Beach and
Satyagraha, among so many other works. Whether recalling his
experiences working at Bethlehem Steel, traveling in India, driving
a cab in 1970s New York, or his professional collaborations with
the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Ravi Shankar, Robert Wilson, Doris
Lessing, and Martin Scorsese, Words Without Music affirms the power
of music to change the world. Martin Scorsese on Words Without
Music: 'I came to Philip Glass's music very simply, without any
critical prodding or guidance. I listened and I was transfixed. The
music was dynamic and colorful and mysterious all at once, and it
put me in mind of the Zen exercise of sitting before a blank wall
and contemplating the question, "What is this?" It's music that
seems to go beyond music. It doesn't just stay with you, it infuses
and energizes and haunts you, and carries a sense of being alive, a
perception of existence itself, the rhythm of living this life.
Philip's music has come to mean more and more to me as the years
have gone by. I was excited to work with Philip on Kundun, and he
exceeded my wildest expectations by giving us a score that was
genuinely transcendent. He's exceeded my expectations again with
this rich and beautifully written memoir. Who knew that he was as
good a writer as he is a composer?'
A Monumental Gift for Music Lovers: A Deluxe Boxed Set of Philip
Glass's Most Beloved and Personal Body of Work, Along with a Book
of Appreciations from Notable Fellow Artists Philip Glass is one of
the most influential artists of our time. In his long and
staggeringly creative career as a composer, he's reached millions
of people and transformed how we listen to music. He's written 26
operas, 12 symphonies, 13 concertos, and 35 film scores. But his
most beloved, personal, and listened-to work is a series of 20
piano etudes. Originally created to "address the deficiencies in my
own playing," in Glass's words, they've taken on a life of their
own as a modern masterpiece-majestic and intimate at the same time,
these compositions for solo piano have been performed and recorded
by dozens of artists and streamed over 100 million times. Philip
Glass Piano Etudes is in every way a one-of-a-kind tribute to this
singular work. A deluxe boxed gift set, it includes the complete
etudes, 1 through 20, plus a hardcover book: Studies in Time:
Essays on the Music of Philip Glass. Each etude has been newly
engraved (the technical term used for drawing music notation at the
highest quality), and each is printed on oversize heavy stock and
sewn-bound into individual folios. In Studies in Time, artists and
writers including Laurie Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Maira Kalman,
Pico Iyer, Alice Waters, Tim Page, Ari Shapiro, and others reflect
on the music, the art of composition, the meaning of practice, and
so much more. In its heirloom box, this deluxe edition of the
etudes is to be cherished by music lovers, piano students and
players, and anyone attuned to contemporary culture, savoured for
its beauty and insights, and, of course, explored at the keyboard.
(Piano Solo Songbook). This folio features piano solo arrangements
of 11 beautiful Philip Glass compositions from this highly
acclaimed, Oscar-nominated film score: Choosing Life * Dead Things
* Escape * The Hours * I'm Going to Make a Cake * Morning Passages
* The Poet Acts * Something She Has to Do * Tearing Herself Away *
An Unwelcome Friend * Why Does Someone Have to Die?
This work offers a selection of Philip Glass's most successful and

Louis 'Moondog' Hardin was one of New York's most colourful
characters and led one of the most improbable lives of the 20th
century. He was a blind and homeless man who became a famous
eccentric in New York and rose to prominence as an internationally
respected music presence. Moondog's compositional style inspired
the work of his former roommate, Philip Glass, who provides the
introduction to the book.

confronts his own mortality. Christopher Purves takes the title
role, with David Pittsinger as his brother, Roy, and Marie
McLaughlin as his wife, Lillian. The conductor is Dennis Russell
Davis.
