From the album's liner notes:
"Itaipu could be considered a Philip Glass paen to both a natural wonder and to a modern technological marvel - the huge hydro-electric dam at Itaipu on the Parana River on the border between Brazil and Paraguay. The music exemplifies the wonder wrought by nature and by humankind, and the native Guarani text recounts the creation of the world and how the first people came to this special place. This major work for chorus and orchestra was commissioned anonymously for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and premiered November 2, 1989...
Conductor Grant Gershon and the Los Angeles Master Chorale with an orchestra made up of the best studio players in Los Angeles created this vibrant recording of 'Itaipu'."

Three Songs for Choir a Cappella
Music by Philip Glass
Lyrics by Leonard Cohen, Raymond Levesque and Octavio Paz

Three Songs for Choir a Cappella was commissioned for the 350th Anniversary of Quebec in 1984 by 'Quebec 1534-1984 Festival.' Together with the composer's 1985 studio album 'Songs from Liquid Days' and his collaboration 22 years later with poet Leonard Cohen on a song cycle 'Book of Longing,' 'Three Songs for Choir a Cappella' comprise most of Glass's song writing. This recording features the renowned Crouch End Festival Chorus, conducted by David Temple, in the premiere recording of the Three Songs from the year 2000."
