Rave. 2005.

For Trumpet (or a loud reed or brass instrument), Electric Guitar, Vibraphone and Piano. and per-recorded tape. 6’30”

In 2005 I was invited to my first European retrospective. The other featured composer was Gyorgy Ligeti. Named the Borderlines Festival, it featured 20 works from each composer. The idea was Ligeti’s European style micro-polyphony compared to my North American style micro-polyphony.
More than anything, I was looking forward to meeting and having panel discussions with one of my musical heroes, Ligeti. However at the time he was too sick to come to Sweden and died shortly thereafter.
For the festival, The Ars nova ensemble commissioned this new work. Knowing that 20 of my “high modernist” works were going to be played I decided to write a real North American kick ass short work.
The work is about using Rock, Latin and jazz rhythms to create a raving musical fever.
Of course I was younger and still believed that new music concerts should have dancing in the aisles!

The work is included in the "Golden Dolden Box Set" available under the "merchandise" tab. This box set includes all my music, scores and essays from 1984 to 2021.

The first 20 years I produced dissonant dense textures. Since 2000 more melodic. ... more
