I found this on Rhapsody and came back here. When the critic said, "Genuinely exciting, haunting and enigmatic"..."daring harmonies"...he was not kidding. An amazing and truly moving work of art.

This is an epic and most original work. I've never heard music like this before. Somehow I get the feeling that this is the soundtrack to a movie only the composer was privvy to.

It's amazing how different each of Maestro Glenn's symphonies are. This work will have you pinned to your chair.

I picked this up because I had heard some of Glenn's earlier jazz works and wondered what he was up to. Classical??? OK, for thirteen bucks, why not listen? I did... I can't say anything other than this is highly recommended, especially for those of us who grew up in the Vietnam era. One word comes to mind...INTENSE. Set up well in the first three movements, "Vietnam" grabbed me (big time) with the battle sounds, the fractured national anthem and finally the beautiful classical orchestral complexity of movement 4. Then the theme came back in movement 5, which was as grabbing in its simplicity as 4 was in its complexity. Movement #6 was the real "Welcome to Hell" movement for me (though the opening movement claims that title). I could see the jungles and the feeling of impending death for someone. Then, I was back on a college campus in a protest rally again in movement 7...everyone talking about "it", analyzing "it", complaining about "it", while this "it" was the reality for those who were actually there. Thank God, I was not. Then back to reality for the rest of us in Requiem. I did not expect this type of emotion. Do yourself a favor and find a free hour or so with your headphones and no interruptions. - Chris
