Here's a 1990 Glass piece that's extremely melodic - not only that, but two melodic subjects are exposed then superimposed in a powerful counterpoint. The first subject is exposed at 1:55, the second at 4:10, and both are in counterpoint around 5:10. The bass, as you point out, also becomes quite melodic in the last minute, while providing harmony to the first subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyBqdTgnpNQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyBqdTgnpNQ
