Rufus Wainwright – The Art Teacher

January 27th, 2007 by

Rufus Wainwright
“The Art Teacher”

Amazing.

I saw a video of this song being performed by Rufus and had to post the song. Rufus has an ornate piano styling all his own, and his melodic phrasing is intriguing too. When I heard this song for the first time, I was immediately reminded of another artist’s work. The work of Phillip Glass’ piano textures. It took me a few minutes to figure it out. Tomorrow’s piece will feature work from Glass to show you the similarities. I’ve also read that is Phillip Glass’ favorite song by Rufus–go figure.

    I have a very good friend who loves her Rufus. Even named her dog after him. She has been stalking him for years…

    Well don’t crush her stalking hopes by telling her that he’s gay.

    […] reminds me of a few classical songs. Namely “Everyday” by Carly Comando, and ““The art teacher” by Rufus […]
