Just a note here. I don't have the score. I made it myself by listening to another performance of this on youtube... So please don't ask me for scores! Why don't you buy the score and support Philip Glass? (not that he needs any!) www.sheetmusicplusl.com

The Hours is a movie about three women who live in the separate eras and all dealt with the idea of depression and suicide. Originally, it was written by Virginia Woolfe (Mrs. Dolloway), but later re-written by Michael Cunningham as the Hours (which apparently was Woolfe's working title for the book).

The music for the movie was scored by Philip Glass and I think it's really beautiful, I can't not play it. So I saw the youtube video of a performance and I transcribed it to a sheetmusic and recorded it at the same day (today).

I hope you enjoy this music, and if you are curious enough, watch the movie! The music is wonderful. Philip Glass all the way! :D

BTW sorry for the falling paper at 3:35... XD I actually rehearsed the falling paper bit =P

  • nice im about to learn to play this after I finish 'mad world' by gary jules, this is such a beautiful piece of music

  • @cmonutube That sounds good! Enjoy learning this beautiful piece :)

  • In the information box you used "whom" and I'm pretty sure it should be "who"...

    or better yet an "and"

    and no comma after "The Hours"

    Other than that it was a beautiful piece. Really well done.

  • Ah, thanks for that! I've fixed it.

  • nice job! Needs some work but im pretty sure you can do better with more practice, since u just recorded it the same day u wrote the sheet.

    I have been searching for the sheet for a lot of time but still cant find it.

    Could u let me have a copy of urs? Please, i love this song I HAVE TO PLAY IT T_T!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol thanks, there's a slightly better version I recorded with no video... xD

    Oh and the sheets... erm, I've lost them, I wrote them down on a piece of paper and I don't know where it is now... it's all in my head now, xD sorry >.>

  • Beautiful performance,for the best movie in the world

  • omg thats a really great performance.

    oh and whats your piano model? RX?

  • This song haunts me along with Morning Passages and Mad Rush.... Whenever I try to compose something I realize I'm stealing from at least one of those songs of not all three.

  • you should upgrade yourself. keep playing

  • Did you get the sheets from internet?

  • very nice performance!!I love this song! Is there any possibility that you recorded playing this song but from a top view so that one could see the pressed keys? You´d help me very much :). Thank you very much

  • I love the way you play this wonderful, touching and moving song. Like they say keep up the good work. How old are you and where are you from . Greetings from Iceland

  • can you give the music sheet?

    thanks

  • There are no youtube tutorials on any Philip Glass songs. I would greatly appreciate it if you could make one or if you know of any tell me where I can find tem. Thanks.

  • EXELLENT!! YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST! GREAT PERFORMANCE OF THE PIECE!
