Symphony No. 6 (Glass)

Symphony No. 6, also known as the Plutonian Ode Symphony, is a symphony composed by Philip Glass. It is based on the poem Plutonian Ode by Allen Ginsberg; parts of which are sung by the soprano soloist in the work. The symphony was commissioned by Carnegie Hall in honor of Glass' 65th birthday and as a vehicle for the talents of soprano Lauren Flanigan. The symphony premiered on February 2, 2002 at Carnegie Hall with Dennis Russell Davies conducting the American Composers Orchestra.[1] The symphony is in three movements, based on the three parts of the poem itself.
