Composed by Paul Glass
Currently living in Switzerland, Paul Glass makes his career teaching and composing serious concert works: his fifth symphony will premiere in 2000 (millennially themed, it is a musical journey through history from the Big Bang through the 21st Century utilizing a Mahler-sized orchestra, a separate chamber orchestra, a large chorus, a children's choir, a large percussion battery, and the proverbial kitchen sink). After a two-decade hiatus away from Hollywood and film music, he recently finished a new film score for German television.
For "Silent Snow, Secret Snow," Glass created a haunting melody for flute and strings with a theme-and-variations structure to detail the mental landscape of a boy descending into madness. This touching score was reused primarily in "Pickman's Model."
