Philip Glass: Music from The Hours (feat. Carlos Márquez)

The Hours is the original soundtrack album, on the Elektra/Nonesuch label, of the 2002 film The Hours, starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore. The original score was composed by Philip Glass. The music was performed by Michael Riesman, the Lyric Quartet, Chris Laurence, and an orchestra conducted by Nick Ingman. Not all of the music in the film was composed specifically for it: earlier music by Glass, including the "Protest" theme from his opera Satyagraha, and the Franz Kafka inspired "Metamorphosis Two" from his album Solo Piano, was also featured and credited separately at the end of the film. The album won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. Michael Riesman and Nico Muhly arranged the soundtrack for piano solo. Riesman’s recording of this was released on Orange Mountain Music in 2004. This score was published in 2003 as a 64-paged book containing most of the tracks.
