Score for Strings and Organ (piano).

SKU: P2.90041

This composition for solo tuba forms part of Francis Schwartz's Literary Bagatelles; a body of music-theater works inspired by literary creations of such authors as Thomas Mann, Miguel de Cervantes, Shakespeare, Rosario Ferre, Edgar Allan Poe and Cormac McCarthy. Written in 2007 for the distinguished tubist Jay Hunsberger, The Grey Road explores the dark, forbidding atmosphere that permeates McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize novel as well as the dramatic climate exhibited in the paintings of Anselm Kiefer, Francis Bacon and Max Neuman. Schwartz utilizes unconventional performance techniques that include histrionic elements to establish a tense, brooding ambiance evocative of a post-cataclysmic world. Though The Grey Road can be performed in a traditional venue, it is originally conceived to be executed in a multi-sensorial space where aromas and temperature manipulation can be realized as an integral part of the score. This multi-sensorial approach forms part of Schwartz' four decade strategy to maximize audience participation in an Artwork by employing sensorial provocations. The public is not meant to be passive consumers of the Literary Bagatelles.

Nico Muhly's It Remains To Be Seen was written in 2006 for for full Orchestra and has a duration of approximately 9 minutes. This work was originally written for the Boston University Tanglewood Institute''s 40th Anniversary Gala in July 2006. The piece begins with a chord identical to the one at the end of Stravinsky''s Firebird suite and proceeds into a series of charged nocturnal episodes. The piece is a nine-minute navigation of an excited, occasionally illuminated, dark road filled with arguing, cars, fragments of remembered music, and a constant, propulsive pulse.
