"Philip Glass' collaboration with sitar player Ravi Shankar in Passages (1990) was not the minimalist composer's
first experiment with non-Western sounds in music.

In Powaqqatsi (1987), the second of what would eventually become a trilogy of film scores done for director Godfrey
Reggio, Glass incorporated musical elements drawn from African, Indian, and South American cultures.

In Passages, however, Glass doesn't simply manipulate non-Western music; he actually shares the compositional credit
with a non-Western musician, Ravi Shankar. Each composer supplied the other with some basic thematic material (a melody
or rhythmic pattern) from which were created three sections per composer.

These six sections were then crafted together into the final work. The collaboration mixes Shankar's and Glass's styles
in interesting ways: for example, the opening Offering (based on Shankar's theme) utilizes a raga-based melody.

A raga is a collection of notes in Indian classical music, similar to the do-re-mi scale in Western music, except
arranged according to a different mathematical pattern. The pattern influences how melodies are then constructed in
Indian music. However, rather than being played on an Indian instrument, the raga melody is played by a saxophone (a
Western instrument).

"Channels and Winds," the third section of the work, also makes use of vocal instrumentals, or tones that are
sung by human voices but which lack text (lyrics). The fast, repetitive melodic fragments in the stringed instruments
imitate the chaotic wandering of the winds while the sustained, stretched out melodies of the voices soar over the other
instruments.

The constant repetition and gradual increase in volume builds tension as the listener wonders what the music is striving
towards. The sixth section, "Prashanti," is even more programmatic (descriptive of nonmusical events): the
harmony and unity of a people is gradually disrupted by chaos.

However, within the chaos, a singer entones a Vedic prayer requesting wisdom. The harmony and peacefulness return.
Overall, Glass' background in minimalism comes strongly through in the sparse texture and repetitive phrasing that
characterize this work, and Shankar's own compositional contribution makes Passages a work of world music that is a
delight to hear."
