Metamorphosis Two, from Philip Glass' Solo Piano album composed in 1989. This part is also the theme from the film The Hours and is also used in the film The Thin Blue Line (Houston Skyline).

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 grand piano, with reverb, delay, and some dark synth.

Updated with a better take on June 13, 2014.

Philip Glass - Metamorphosis Two [piano + synth]

'Vedrò Con Mio Diletto', an opera aria by Antonio Vivaldi (1724), arranged by Garrett Sholdice.

Ergodos Musicians

Michelle O’Rourke – voice
Seán Mac Erlaine – saxophone
Kate Ellis – cello

Taken from the Ergodos Musicians release, 'Songs'. 

For the 'Songs' project, composers Garrett Sholdice and Benedict Schlepper-Connolly have arranged, re-composed, weaved and stitched material drawn from the songs they love. 

Working closely with vocalist Michelle O’Rourke, reed player Seán Mac Erlaine and cellist Kate Ellis, they celebrate the way a melody or a lyric can live in memory, heart and limb— turning, dissolving and re-forming, but never vanishing. 

Experiences become transformed and transfigured, while other perspectives and insights come in the form of deeply reflective improvisations.
