He has also systematically sought out collaborations with musicians and artists from all over the world. Due to his highly idiosyncratic and distinctive style, the American composer has been considered one of the frontrunners of minimalism in music, even though he himself regards his work rather as music with repetitive structures, in a continual search to integrate harmony, melody and rhythm into a single musical expression. In 2025 he received the World Soundtrack Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the art of film music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis album contains selections from Glass’s most famous film scores, including his triptych of Oscar-nominated scores, namely \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKundun, The Hours \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eNotes on a Scandal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
