Video: Philip Glass's Sesame Street pieces
In 1977, avant-garde composer Philip Glass created a lovely series of short animations for Sesame Street. According to the Muppet Wiki, "these works very closely resemble the "Dance" numbers written during the same time period as (Glass's) Einstein on the Beach opera."Link to YouTube video, Link to Muppet Wiki entry on Philip Glass (via Daddy Types)
