While the rest of the world focused on Kanye West’s dis of Beck at the 2015 Grammys—and Beyonce’s innumerable collaborators—we were zeroed in on a moment of much greater importance. Alaska composer John Luther Adams took home a Grammy Sunday for Become Ocean, a work the Seattle Symphony commissioned, premiered, and recorded (it’s the orchestra’s first win for a recording after 18 total nominations), and which also earned Adams a Pulitzer Prize last year. The Internet seemed to have no problem with the fact that dozens of musicians were involved in this recording. “Terrific to see @seattlesymphony and other local WA talent win Grammys on Sunday. Congrats all!” —Jay Inslee, via Twitter “You made #Seattle proud.” —Jim McDermott, via Twitter “ . . . it wouldn’t have happened without the Pacific Ocean, and this beautiful, beleaguered planet that is our one and only home.” —John Luther Adams, via seattlesymphony.org
