robin,
your experience with philip glass reminds me of two experiences of my own. one was hearing steve reich's 'music for mallet instruments' and the other was performing stockhausen's 'stimmung'. there is a feeling you get when listening and, in particular, performing music of this sort. i can only compare it to 'runner's high'. 'runner's high' (for those of you who have never made it past 'runner's low') is a feeling of serenity that makes you feel like you could run forever.
