The result is a soundtrack which comes remarkably close to capturing the power of its source film; even without the moving images, this is a chilling document.

Solo Piano (1989) is an album of piano music composed and performed by Philip Glass. It was produced by Kurt Munkacsi. The title of five of the seven tracks, "Metamorphosis", refers to and was inspired by the 1915 novella The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. While all pieces were written in 1988, some were written for a staging of Metamorphosis, while others were for a documentary film called The Thin Blue Line directed by Errol Morris.
Print and download in PDF or MIDI LOOKING - from "The Thin Blue Line". This is a beautiful piece for strings that I like to mess around with on piano. Musescore can be weird at times and I just want to be sure the instructions are sent to both. Opening Theme from "The Thin Blue Line" by Philip Glass (arr. for solo piano). For Solo (instrumental or vocal part).
The Thin Blue Line is one of the most influential films that nobody has ever seen. Errol Morris's startling documentary was responsible for the release of an innocent man from death row, shedding light on the murder of a Texas police officer, and the subsequent rush for conviction. As compelling as this dialogue is, many listeners were dismayed to get the album home and find only one track from Glass's score unobstructed by dialogue. With the effects-laden album, and many a story about Glass being tapped at the last hour to do re-writes where Morris sought a different musical vibe, the release of Glass's full score on Orange Mountain Music is a chance not only to hear the music free of dialogue, but to hear a number of cues not included in the film.
