2008
for divided orchestra under two conductors

By:

Duration:
10' 00"
Contents:
Single movement in several sections: "Exotic spices", "Stravinsky strikes back" and "Cheesy pop"

Programme Note

Dueling orchestras cycle through genres at whirlwind pace. A dash of do-wop, a sprinkling of Stravinsky, a dollop of drama and a good portion of cheese, binds it all together.

The orchestra is split in half, each conductor is a chef, making the perfect recipe for music. But as the saying goes, too many cooks spoil the broth.. and a musical food fight ensues.
