Glassworks is a chamber music work of six movements by Philip Glass. Following his larger-scale concert and stage works, it was Glass`s successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented `Walkman-suitable` work, with considerably shorter and more accessible pieces written for the recording studio.

The LP and cassette were released in 1982,[1][2] each with its own separate mix: the record album intended for home listening and the tape for personal cassette players.[3] The headphone-specific mix, previously only available on cassette, was reissued digitally 2016.[4][5]

Glassworks was intended to introduce my music to a more general audience than had been familiar with it up to then.

Movements
`Opening` (piano, with horn at end) 6:24
`Floe` (2 flutes, 2 soprano saxophones, 2 tenor saxophones, 2 horns, synthesizer) 5:59
`Island` (2 flutes, 2 soprano saxophones, tenor saxophone, bass clarinet, 2 horns, viola, violoncello, synthesizer) 7:39
`Rubric` (2 flutes, 2 soprano saxophones, 2 tenor saxophones, 2 horns, synthesizer) 6:04
`Façades` (2 soprano saxophones, synthesizer, viola, violoncello) 7:20
This movement has its origins in the film score Koyaanisqatsi, but was ultimately not used in the film; it is often performed as a work in its own right (ISWC T-010.461.089-0).[7]
`Closing (flute, clarinet, bass clarinet, horn, viola, violoncello, piano) 6:03
A reprise of `Opening`.
`Opening`
`Opening` uses triplet eighth notes, over duple eighth notes, over whole notes in 4
4. Formally it consists of three groups of four measure phrases of three to four chords repeated four times each, ABC:||ABC, which then merges with the next movement, `Floe` with the entrance of the horns.[8] The movement has been arranged for and performed by Gamelan Pacifica.

`Floe`
There are two formulaically identical sections to the movement. Although rhythmically driven, the melodic implications of `Floe` occur somewhat coincidentally by orchestration. There is no modulation, but the harmonic progression simply repeats over and over again. The layering of contrasting timbres is characteristic of the piece as a whole. Floe borrows a theme from Jean Sibelius`s fifth symphony.[9]

In popular culture
`Rubric` and `Façades` both appeared in the 2008 documentary about Philippe Petit, Man on Wire. `Floe` was featured on the soundtrack of the 1989 Italian horror film The Church.
