In 1990, Charles M. Schulz saluted Zwilich in the Peanuts® strip for her flute concerto. This led to a fast friendship between the two talents and Zwilich's masterwork Peanuts® Gallery, a six-movement piano concerto, each movement illustrates a favorite character from the comic strip. Florida State University produced a documentary, also featured on PBS, of the collaboration that led to the creation of Peanuts® Gallery. The DVD is a fascinating documentary on the making of Peanuts® Gallery, featuring interviews with Charles M. Schulz, Jean (Mrs. Charles M.) Schulz, and composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich about their creative processes. The video also features a live performance by the Florida State University Orchestra with piano soloist James Nalley, conducted by Alex Jimenez (including Snoopy dancing the Samba!).
